Studies Show Health Benefits to GMO Foods
Are genetically modified foods good for us? Should we be concerned about the possible side effects associated with their consumption?
A new study from a major research university in California has been released which shows many health benefits to eating GMO foods. Although the long-term effects of consumption of GMO crops has long been in question, this study finally puts to rest the age old question: Are genetically modified foods good for us? It turns out the answer is yes.
Researchers divided 200 rats into 2 groups and controlled their daily dietary intake for 3 weeks. The groups were subjected to either a diet of only GMO food or only organic food.

| Group 1: GMO Crops |

| Group 2: Organic Crops |
Immediately, the results were clear - major health advantages to eating GMO foods.
The rats in group fed only organic food grew huge tumors and died prematurely. Some of the rats in this group also showed signs of autism, however they died before this fact could be confirmed.

The rats in the group fed only GMO crops were just as healthy as any other rat that you would expect to find in a meadow or local sewer system. In fact, it seemed that they may have been even healthier. Researchers decided to look into what unexpected side effects the GMO foods may have caused.

Analysis of blood samples taken from the GMO food rats showed that these rats had somehow built up a tolerance for many of the most severe modern diseases. When digested, the DNA from the GMO foods can merge with the DNA of the rats and form "super strands" which possess unique traits that can help combat cancer, diabetes, hypertension, autism, and obesity.

Major benefits of a high GMO diet:
- Anti-cancer
- Anti-aging
- Anti-diabetes
- Anti-autism
- Lower obesity rates
It is clear from this study that there is still much that we do not know about genetically modified food, however one thing is clear: GMO foods are good for you. Health food experts all agree, GMO foods should replace organic foods in your daily diet in order to maintain optimum health.
