Genetically modified foods can cause various diseases in the body. Among them are bought honey, corn, soy, milk.

Many of the foods purchased from the store are not of good quality and natural. They can be dangerous to health because they contain substances that lead to weakened immunity and severe illness. Here are 5 examples:

1. Honey

Research reveals that most of the honey in the store is not actually honey. More than 75% of jars of honey are not made up of what bees produce. They do not contain pollen, but an extremely large amount of sweeteners .

2. Rice

Rice has undergone genetic modification with a variety of different genes, overexpressed, in order to compensate for nutritional deficiencies. In some rice varieties, overexpression of genes is involved to increase iron content .

3. Corn

Genetically modified corn contains toxic chemicals such as Bacillus thuringiensis , which means that it has at least 20% less nutrients than real corn . According to research, at least 65% of corn production in the United States is GMO and is found in almost every product that includes corn - on the cob, with syrup or in canned food, including sweet corn. To find out if corn is GMO-free, look for the warranty label and the organic certificate.

4. Soy

Since 2007 So far, 91% of soybeans planted in America are genetically modified, and the United States is one of the largest exporters of soybeans. It is used in many ways - from a source of protein to ingredients such as soy lecithin and emulsifiers used for thickening, but also for food storage.

Americans generally consume unfermented soy, which has many side effects on the body, including reduced ability to absorb nutrients and increase the risk of thyroid cancer . Therefore, the best soybeans must be fermented and organic.

5. The milk

Hormones are found in milk associated with rGBH - an artificial hormone injected into cows to produce more milk. It also contains reduced amounts of healthy fatty acids. Care should also be taken with other dairy products, as they may come from cows injected with hormones. You can buy organic or goat's milk, and even better homemade, to avoid artificial ones.
