Some facts on the dangers involved with eating GMO's are:

Arpad Puszai has found that GMO Potatoes are less nutritious than the non GMO parents, as well as being proven to suppress white blood cell activity, damage thymus and spleen, and stunt the growth of the brain, liver, and testicle in rats. Furthermore, the rats showed structural damage to proliferating cells of the stomach and intestines, indicating the likelihood that cancers will set in.

In 1985, an experiment studying pigs modified with a human gene unusually bristly hair, wide mussel, lethargy, ulcers, enlarged hearts, dermatitis, vision problems, and renal disease. One female was even born with no genitals or anus. CLICK HERE for more information.

A GMO Tobacco unexpectedly produced a toxic compound not generally found in Tobacco. For more information, see "Modification of Plant Lipid Composition" in Nature Bio Technology, Volume 14, 1996, pp.639-642

2 genetically engineered cottons failed tens of thousands of acres of farms in what should have been a field grow-out, exhibiting bad germination, early dropping of their bolls, uneven growth, low yields, and even a 50% lack of the bt that was intended to be imparted in the plants. For more information, see see "Seeds of Deception" by: Jeffrey M. Smith

A GMO yeast has been proven to have increased naturally occurring toxin rates by 40 to 200 times. For more information, see "Seeds of Deception" by: Jeffrey M. Smith

In an industry study of "Flavor Saver" GMO Tomatoes, 17.5% of the rats that ate the GM tomato unexpectedly died after two weeks on the diet. These industry study results were not submitted to the FDA during the products review. CLICK HERE For more information.

An Industry study of Roundup Ready Soybeans showed unexplained high levels of trypsin, a major allergen. At the same time as these beans were introduced, soybean allergies went up 50% in Britain. The same data was not tracked in the U.S. CLICK HERE For more information.

GMO's often are implanted into cells by shooting many tiny slivers of gold with the new DNA attached to them. An antibiotic resistant gene is often inserted along with the new gene to act as a marker. The test cells are then sprayed with the antibiotic to see if the genes have been inserted; all of the cells that don't die have the new gene. These genes have been shown to "horizontally" transfer into bacterium in the human stomach, creating antibiotic resistant bacteria. All bt implanted corn has been produced this way.
