Genetically modified organisms, or as we tend to refer to them, 'GMOs', are becoming a bit of a problem in our diets. These foods have been chemically modified and grown in a way that is completely unnatural, so it's no surprise that issues are beginning to present themselves. There haven't been very many studies conducted about the effects of GMOs, but the ones we do have access to are alarming to say the least.
After feeding rats GMO foods, they presented with damaged immune systems, pre-cancerous cells, and smaller brains and livers after just ten days. We recognize that we're a little different to rats, but the results are no less shocking. The government doesn't require companies to label when their products are GMO, so keep on the lookout for foods that are labelled GMO-free.
