What physicians think about GMO labeling June 15, 2015 SERMO, the largest online community of physicians, found that a strong majority (68%) of physicians surveyed support mandatory labeling of genetically modified foods. This past April, SERMO polled physicians to gain insight on how important GMO labeling may be to the medical world by asking “Should food manufacturers be required to label products containing GMOs? Of 2,097 physician answers, 68% selected yes and 32% selected no. Of the top eleven states polled, New York ,California and Florida were the top three in favor of required labeling. Without a label, there is no traceability, no accountability and no liability. GMO LABELING IS DOCTOR RECOMMENDED. http://blog.sermo.com/2015/06/15/physicians-think-gmo-labeling/

President Obama has deeply rooted ties with Monsanto. June 24, 2015 The new president filled key posts with Monsanto people, in federal agencies that wield tremendous force in food issues, the USDA and the FDA: Also, lets take a look at all of the GMO crops that have "walked through the open door of the Obama presidency." Monsanto GMO alfalfa. Monsanto GMO sugar beets. Monsanto GMO Bt soybean. Coming soon: Monsanto's GMO sweet corn. Syngenta GMO corn for ethanol. Syngenta GMO stacked corn. Pioneer GMO soybean. Syngenta GMO Bt cotton. Bayer GMO cotton. ATryn, an anti-clotting agent from the milk of transgenic goats. A GMO papaya strain. This makes Barack Obama the most GMO-dedicated politician in America. Obama didn’t just change his mind, he appointed all the right people, and now all those people are working in order to support the GMO growth and distribution all over the country and abroad. https://www.minds.com/blog/view/46052025...s-with-monsanto

DNA from GMOs can pass directly into humans, study confirms June 24, 2014 The idea that DNA from genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is broken down in the digestive tract and rendered innocuous, a common industry claim, is patently false. A recent study published in the scientific journal PLOS ONE found that large, meal-derived DNA fragments from GMOs are fully capable of transferring their genes directly into the bloodstream, deconstructing the myth that transgenic foods act on the body in the same way as natural foods. "One small mutation in a human being can determine so much, the point is when you move a gene, one gene, one tiny gene out of an organism into a different one you completely change its context," said David Suzuki, co-founder of the David Suzuki Foundation. "There is no way to predict how it's going to behave and what the outcome will be." http://www.naturalnews.com/045710_GMOs_gene_transfer_DNA.html#ixzz3dKDlhR9r

Got allergies from your GMOs? Michael Hansen, PhD, Senior Staff Scientist at Consumers Union, talks about the allergenicity of the Bt toxin insecticides in the DNA of GMO crops. It seems Monsanto has been hiding the truth, once again. No surprise there.
