[quote=Anonymous]Our nutritionist also reported that GMO foods are a leading suspect for the recent rise in food allergies.  She said there have been instances (I don't remember if she said studies, or just reported instances) where someone will be tolerant of a particular non-GMO food, but the GMO version causes an allergic or inflammatory reaction.  She also said the bigger concern is that many inflammatory reactions are asymptomatic, but may cause seemingly unrelated autoimmune disorders like asthma, eczema, or vitiligo.

It's also true that GMO plants can propagate by cross-pollinating with nearby non-GMO crops of the same food.  Pollen can travel quite a way on the wind, and GMO and non-GMO crops are often planted nearby one another, within that range.  She said GMO contamination in corn and soybeans is already sufficiently widespread that it's difficult to assure yourself that any corn or soybeans you buy in the mainstream food system are non-GMO.  You should assume the corn and soy contained in processed foods are GMO.  [/quote]
