On May 19th<\/sup>, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) called on “Physicians to educate their patients, the medical community, and the public to avoid GM (genetically modified) foods when possible and provide educational materials concerning GM foods and health risks.”<\/a>[1] They called for a moratorium on GM foods, long-term independent studies, and labeling. AAEM’s position paper stated, “Several animal studies indicate serious health risks associated with GM food,” including infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, insulin regulation, and changes in major organs and the gastrointestinal system. They conclude, “There is more than a casual association between GM foods and adverse health effects. There is causation,”<\/b> as defined by recognized scientific criteria. “The strength of association and consistency between GM foods and disease is confirmed in several animal studies.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
More and more doctors are already prescribing GM-free diets. Dr. Amy Dean, a Michigan internal medicine specialist, and board member of AAEM says, “I strongly recommend patients eat strictly non-genetically modified foods.” Ohio allergist Dr. John Boyles says “I used to test for soy allergies all the time, but now that soy is genetically engineered, it is so dangerous that I tell people never to eat it.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Dr. Jennifer Armstrong, President of AAEM, says, “Physicians are probably seeing the effects in their patients, but need to know how to ask the right questions.” World renowned biologist Pushpa M. Bhargava goes one step further. After reviewing more than 600 scientific journals, he concludes that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are a major contributor to the sharply deteriorating health of Americans.<\/div>\n

Pregnant women and babies at great risk<\/b><\/div>\n

Among the population, biologist David Schubert of the Salk Institute warns that “children are the most likely to be adversely effected by toxins and other dietary problems” related to GM foods. He says without adequate studies, the children become “the experimental animals.”<\/a>[2]<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The experience of actual<\/i> GM-fed experimental animals is scary. When GM soy was fed to female rats, most of their babies died within three weeks\u2014compared to a 10% death rate among the control group fed natural soy.<\/a>[3] The GM-fed babies were also smaller, and later had problems getting pregnant.<\/a>[4]<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When male rats were fed GM soy, their testicles actually changed color\u2014from the normal pink to dark blue.<\/a>[5] Mice fed GM soy had altered young sperm.<\/a>[6] Even the embryos of GM fed parent mice had significant changes in their DNA.<\/a>[7] Mice fed GM corn in an Austrian government study had fewer babies, which were also smaller than normal.<\/a>[8]<\/div>\n
