I’ve warned you of the potential dangers of genetically engineered (GE) foods for many years now, pointing out that such crops might have wholly unforeseen consequences. In recent years, such suspicions have increasingly proven correct.
One of the latest pieces of evidence supporting the suspicion that GE crops are in no way, shape or form comparable to their natural counterparts is a nutritional analysis that shows just how different they really are.
Inherent differences are essentially implied by the fact that GE crop seeds can be patented in the first place. And in many ways, I believe Monsanto is slowly but surely inching its way toward patenting nature itself, in the same way others are fighting to maintain patent rights for human DNA.1

GMOs aren't the problem. Our industrial food system is
The Washington state initiative to label genetically modified foods appears to have been defeated, although Politico reports that, with most of the votes still uncounted, it may be days before we are 100% sure of the final outcome.We've seen this drill before – in California last year – an initially popular referendum to require labeling went down in a narrow defeat after the food and agriculture industries lavished tens of millions of dollars on TV ads claiming that labeling would raise the price of groceries for consumers.
Critics call foods made from GMOs (genetically modified organisms) "frankenfoods", evoking images of sinister scientists cobbling together vegetable monsters in their laboratories. It doesn't help that the key purveyor of genetic engineering is Monsanto, recently voted "the most evil corporation in the world", beating out by a wide margin bad players like BP and Halliburton, in a survey of 16,000 readers of the website "Natural News".

Monsanto and GMO lies revealed
In May 2013, two million people in over 50 countries expressed outrage
over Monsanto's desire to own the food supply through
genetically-altered (and patented) seeds that threaten all life on this
planet. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are when a plant or animal
has been genetically engineered with DNA from bacteria, viruses or
other plants and animals. Whether you like it or not, you are eating
genetically manipulated food without your consent.
Henry
Kissinger once said, 'Who controls the food supply controls the
people...' This comment plus many other dark and sinister ideas come
from control hungry, greedy and, often times, dangerous people and
corporations. On the next NaturalNews Talk Hour - we'll expose the
hidden agenda behind Monsanto.
65 Health Risks of GM Foods
1.1 GM potatoes damaged rats
1. Rats were fed potatoes engineered to produce their own insecticide.
2.
They developed potentially precancerous cell growth in the digestive
tract, inhibited development of their brains, livers and testicles,
partial atrophy of the liver, enlarged pancreases and intestines and
immune system damage.
3. The cause was not the insecticide, but in all likelihood was the process of genetic engineering.
4. GM foods on the market—which were created with the same process—have not been subject to such an extensive testing protocol.
1.2 Rats fed GM tomatoes got bleeding stomachs, several died1. Rats were fed the GM FlavrSavr tomato for 28 days.
2. Seven of 20 rats developed stomach lesions (bleeding stomachs); another 7 of 40 died within two weeks and were replaced in the study.
3. The tomato was approved despite unresolved safety questions by FDA scientists.
1.3 Rats fed Bt corn had multiple health problems
1. Rats were fed Monsanto's Mon 863 Bt corn for 90 days.
2. They showed significant changes in their blood cells, livers and kidneys, which might indicate disease.
3. Although experts demanded follow-up, Monsanto used unscientific, contradictory arguments to dismiss concerns.
