The more I read about GMO’s, the less I want them in my famiy’s food. Yet, sadly their not labled for. Luckily, companies like Amy’s Kitchen, Eden Foods and others indicate that their products are not made from genetically modified foods so you can make an informed choice about what to feed your children.

Latest GMO Research: Decreased Fertility, Immunological Alterations and Food Allergies

Specifically, the researchers found an increased presence of several cytokines in the GM fed mice, which are specifically involved in inflammatory and allergic responses by the body. The researchers also found an increase in the protein expression of lymphocytes (TCR??+ population). Within this population, the ??T cells reside in the gut and are associated with regulatory elements of the immune response, specific to infectious agents [9-11]. Elevated amounts ??T cells have been found in asthmatics, children suffering from food allergies, gastrointestinal symptoms and juvenile arthritis [12]. The GM-fed mice also exhibited significant alterations in the number of T and B cells, indicating a significantly abnormal immune response to the genetically altered feed. Furthermore, other researchers have found a newly expressed protein from the consumption of GM corn (50 kDa ?-zein), which is a widely known allergenic protein [13]. In conclusion, from the newly presented research it is apparent that ingesting genetically engineered BT corn not only invokes an anaphylaxis (allergenic) response within the body, it also deregulates several proteins, inhibits fertility and alters the overall immunological response by the body.
