You don’t have to ingest GMOs as food in order to be exposed to them.
There are plenty of other ways that GMOs come into our lives in many other
forms.
Beauty Care Products
Many beauty care products like deodorant sprays, lotions, and facial
cleansers, contain GMO derivatives. Look out for denatured alcohol which is
simply ethanol made from BT corn. Also be weary of creams made with soy protein
isolates, or dehydrogenated soy ingredients as these are also likely GMO.
Cotton
Is that shirt that you have on right now Organic? GM cotton covers more
than 15 million hectares on the planet is accounts for more than 70 percent of
all cotton grown. Chances are that your cotton swabs and balls are also GM
Cotton.
Ink
While soy ink is marketed as an alternative to petroleum based products
it is made from GM soy beans. Soy ink is printed on a variety of items from
newspapers to magazines. It is also readily absorbed through the skin.
Hand Sanitizer
Not only do hand sanitizers fuel the creation of antibiotic resistant
super bugs but they also contain ethanol made from GM corn.
Gasoline
When you go to the pump and see those little stickers that are appearing
everywhere that say “May Contain up to 10% ethanol” you can rest assured that
it is not ethanol derived from organically grown corn. The idiotic government
subsidies shoved into the horribly inefficient process of ethanol production
are ending up as fumes in traffic that you and I are breathing in.

I'm all against GM in food and food products, but can someone explain to me how exactly can ethanol help create "antibiotic resistant bacteria"? Misuse of antibiotics and antibiotics alone leads to creation of superbugs. Ethanol can and does at best (or worst) eliminate together with the bad the good bacteria our bodies need to maintain the healthy balance between the pathogenic and non-pathogenic micro-organisms, thus paving the way to disbalance in our bodies microbial flora and fauna, but not create antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Please peeps, a little common sense here!
