This is a subject that has been in the main stream news here in Australia ond and off (as well as the rest of the world) for quite some time.
Many people don’t pay much attention to it – but you really should – because it probably is one of the most dangerous aspects of the food modern day food production, which we have to face in the future

However, if you start scratching the surface just a little – there is a myriad of evidence – all science based I hate to tell you – that says otherwise.

So may I humbly suggest that you start informing yourself of the serious repercussion these foods will have on you and your family, if consumed.
Because remember, corn is used in many pre-prepared foods and especially corn syrup, found in most soft drinks!
There is an excellent book written by William Engdahl, whom Tim and I had the pleasure of meeting in London and Germany this past year – it is the story of the evolution of the GMO foods – a very interesting and informative read
