Genetically modified foods have potentially very serious side effects, most of which have not been adequately studied, and studies that have been done have been suppressed by the corporations that are creating the GM foods.
Three ubiquitous foods in our diet, corn, soy, and potatoes, are all being genetically modified. In North America, almost all of the commercial farms growing those three crops are using GM seeds. Other continents are being more cautious about growing them.
There are a number of problems associated with genetic modification. One is that they simply don’t know all of the ramifications of their changes. Without long term studies we’ll never know what the dangers are. Another problem is that they are introducing DNA of viruses and other toxins into the plants, but they say that those DNA have no effect on us. Actually studies have shown this not to be true. Another problem is that they are introducing more allergens into our foods. In some cases they are using foods that are know to be common allergens to modify other foods, in other cases they are just creating new allergens, because the modifications they are making are creating chemicals that are strange to us.
These are some of the research findings:
Animals fed the genetically modified (GM) corn developed extensive health effects in the blood, kidneys and liver and that humans eating the corn might be at risk.
A serious accident associated with the use of genetically engineered bacteria for tryptophan manufacture. This product was placed on the market, and within a few months it caused
the deaths of 37 people and caused 1500 more to be permanently disabled.
Experiments have shown intestinal changes in rats caused by eating genetically engineered potatoes.

Hey Ed,
That is pretty intense news. My father met a man at a Dowser’s convention recently who said quote: “I love EMF’s,” which for those of you not familiar are Electro Magnetic Frequencies, found in cell phones, florescent lights, and other gadgets that emit these ‘harmful’ frequencies.
When my dad asked him why the man gave an astounding answer, “I use them as blessings to solve problems in my life.”
If for ever piece of negative information we received we were able to transmute it with our minds (recall: What The Bleep Do We Know? Movie. RE: “If thoughts can do that to water, imagine what they can do to us.”) we would be living more in tune with the flow rather than against it.
As Baba once said, “Someone asked a great saint, ‘what would happen if we all became saints tomorrow?’ The saint replied, ‘People could eat sand as if it were pudding, the world would become truly great.’ ”
I wonder if we can apply the same kind of metaphyiscal logic to this particular problem that you bring to our attention. Wouldn’t that be fantastic?
