5 Ways you are Exposed to GMOs Without Eating Them

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.

What's really in your movie theater popcorn

The movie better be really good, because your body is going to pay double admission with all the nastiness in your beloved popcorn!

A staple of theater and moviefilm entertainment is good ole popcorn, often with some hot melted butter and salt to crunch and satisfy the enthralled viewer at the edge of their seat. What else are you going to spill all over the people sitting next to you when those gotcha moments happen? The answer: ANYTHING BUT THIS GARBAGE! Yup, Natural Cures Not Medicine is here to burst yet another one of your bubbles, this time, movie theater popcorn, and here's why:

Corn: Already an unimpressive nutrient source, some figures suggest that over 80% of corn used in food products is genetically modified. Many of these GMO, Genetically Modified Organism, strains of corn are altered so that they secrete their own nanopesticides. GMO foods have been linked to scores of diseases and have been shown to cause aggressive tumor growth in lab rats. In fact, the large scale honey bee die off that threatens world ecology is being linked to the introduction of genetically modified crops including most corn available in products on your local grocer's shelves. Russia recently banned GMO corn from the U.S. due to concerns over health problems resulting from consuming it.

Hydrogenated oil: Hydrogenated oil, or trans fats, greatly increase the instance if heart disease and raise the mortality rate of heart disease as well. They also limit the production of enzymes that reduce inflammation in the body, which can lead to several deadly diseases including cancer. Trans fats also negatively effect brain health as they block out DHA from being absorbed. DHA is crucial for fetal brain development and prevents the onset of degenerative brain diseases.

Artificial butter flavor: Diacetyl has been shown to cause necrosis of tissue in the respiratory system when the fumes are inhaled, and suggest is can cause respiratory disease. Workers in microwave popcorn plants have reported serious illness due to exposure to these fumes and some have even died due to over exposure.
