Foods containing genetically modified organisms have been linked
to toxicity and intestinal inflammation but have not been studied for
long-term effects. Eighty-five percent of the corn produced in the USA
has GMOs. Unfortunately, Californians voted NO on Prop 37, which would
have required food manufacturers to label foods containing GMOs. The
products most likely to contain GMOs include food items made from corn and soy; however, corn and soy are highly prevalent in most packaged foods.
YOU have to do your research before going to the grocery store. Look
for products that are 100% certified organic...Whole Food Grocery Store
is a good place to shop with confidence. When choosing a caterer, choose
one like Dine With 9 Catering.
