By now,
nearly everyone interested in healthy living is aware of the recent research
linking Monsanto's GMO corn to cancer tumors and an increase risk of premature
death in both men and women. News of the research is spreading like wildfire
across the 'net, and support for Proposition 37, which seeks to label GMOs in
foods, is growing by the day.
But the
media has not yet reported on the everyday foods being sold in grocery stores
right now and made with Monsanto's genetically modified corn (GM corn). Which foods
are most likely to contain Monsanto GM corn? To answer this question, I visited
a local grocery store in Austin, Texas and purchased 10 breakfast cereals made
with high levels of non-organic corn. According
to the Center for Food Safety, up to 85% of the corn grown in the U.S. is
genetically modified. This means corn- based cereals that use non- organic corn
have a very high likelihood of containing GM corn.
