GMO's and pesticides

Ditch the genetically modified foods. The biggest offenders are corn, soy, dairy, wheat, alfalfa, canola, yellow quash, zucchini, sugar beets, cotton, Aspartame and papaya.

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have not been properly tested for human consumption. Studies show they decrease sperm count, and may cause sterility, infertility, miscarriages, spontaneous abortions, ADHD and Autism. The herbicides and pesticides sprayed on these plants cannot be washed off and may also cause sterility, infertility, sexual dysfunction and hormone disruption.

Studies done by the Italians, Austrians, and Russians confirm that GMOs can act as birth control, cause DNA incompatibility between mates, and impair DNA function between a mother and fetus. The easiest way to (almost entirely) avoid GMO food is to eat organically local grown meat, fruit and vegetables. Skip the processed and package junk food. Remember if an animal is fed GMO grains then the meat will be contaminated.

Insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, rodenticides, molluscicides, nematicides, plant growth regulators and others can all be covered under the term Pesticides. Pesticides have been linked to cancer, Alzheimer's Disease, ADHD, and even birth defects. Pesticides also have the potential to harm the nervous system, the reproductive system, and the endocrine system.

The most sprayed "dirty dozen" by Environmental Working Group are:

Strawberries
Spinach
Kale
Nectarines
Apples
Grapes
Peaches
Cherries
Pears
Tomatoes
Celery
Potatoes

Organic For All

All of us are exposed to a cocktail of toxic synthetic pesticides linked to a range of health impacts from our daily diets. Certified organic food is produced without these pesticides. But can eating organic really reduce levels of pesticides in our bodies? In this peer-reviewed study, we compared pesticide levels in the bodies of four American families for six days on a non-organic diet and six days on a completely organic diet. We found that eating organic works. An organic diet rapidly and dramatically reduced exposure to pesticides in just one week. Levels of all detected chemicals dropped an average of 60.5 percent with a range of 37 percent to 95 percent depending on the compound. Learn more about the study at www.organicforall.org

GMO OMG - Official Trailer - (2014)

Filmmaker and concerned father Jeremy Seifert is in search of answers about genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and how they affect our children, the health of our planet, and our freedom of choice. His journey takes him to Haiti, Paris, Norway, and even agri-giant Monsanto as he poses perhaps the ultimate question about what we eat: is it still possible to reject our current food system, or have we already lost something we can't get back?

It prevented independent litigations against "Employers for workplace Injuries" Sugar Coated: A streamline process for workers to get quick settlements avoiding protracted legal proceedings. 1972: The NZ Govt. was officially aware of the danger to human health in. Yet the NZ Govt. allowed production to continue unimpeded until 1986 when a bursting disc failure saw huge amounts of raw dioxin spewed into the air at high pressure. Authorities and IWD Dow concealed the event for 2 days until a whistleblower raised the red flag IWD. DOW Chemical Company Was heavily subsidized by the incumbent Governments of New Zealand. For years Successive NZ Governments have denied there is a generational effect from exposure to 245t 24d and the by-products of dioxins. 44 Million Litres of 245t/24d sprayed in Vietnam & 20 Million Litres sprayed in New Zealand, the next highest user.

Stop the crop (campaign video-9min.)

This film present some of the dangers of GM-crops, and calls for people across Europe and beyond to take action to stop them. We need a future of food and farming that benefits people and planet, and not the pockets of big business. We need to stop GM-crops from spreading across Europe. This film has been produced by Corporate Europe Observatory, Friends of the Earth Europe and Sourced TV.

A Silent Forest

A Silent Forest is a documentary about the largely unknown potential danger to human health, and the environmental health of our planet, posed by the planned introduction of genetically engineered trees. Narrated by Dr. David Suzuki, the film lays out, in compelling detail, the potential dangers of open air plantations of these untested man-made trees.

Jeffrey Smith - Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods

Studies show how a NON-GMO Organic Diet helped 3250 people recover from 28 disorders. The biotech industry's claim that genetically modified (GM) foods are safe is shattered in this groundbreaking lecture. Safety assessments on GM crops are not competent to identify the health problems, and industry research is rigged to avoid finding problems. This lecture is for anyone wanting to understand GM technology, to learn how to protect themselves, or to share their concerns with others. It is presented in the clear, accessible style that made Jeffrey Smith's Seeds of Deception the world's best-selling book on genetically engineered foods. The leading consumer advocate promoting healthier non-GMO choices, Jeffrey Smith’s meticulous research documents how biotech companies continue to mislead legislators and safety officials to put the health of society at risk and the environment in peril. His work expertly summarizes why the safety assessments conducted by the FDA and regulators worldwide teeter on a foundation of outdated science and false assumptions, and why genetically engineered foods must urgently become our nation’s top food safety priority. Mr. Smith’s feature-length documentary Genetic Roulette-The Gamble of Our Lives was awarded the 2012 Movie of the Year (Solari Report) and the Transformational Film of the Year (AwareGuide). Described as a “life-changer” and seen by millions worldwide, the film links genetically engineered food to toxic and allergic reactions, infertility, digestive disorders, and numerous problems that have been on the rise in the US population since genetically modified organisms (GMOs) were introduced.

Poisoned Fields - Glyphosate, the underrated risk? (HD 1080p)

Glyphosate is the world’s most widely used weed killer. Some claim it is completely harmless, others say it is a serious health hazard for man and animals. A topical investigation into a controversial substance. Subscribe to wocomoDOCS for more documentaries in full length: https://goo.gl/q5GXI6 Follow wocomo on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wocomo/ Click here for a shorter version of the film in German language: https://youtu.be/UCh_Qe79i-w Glyphosate is the world’s most widely used weed killer in farms and gardens. German soil was treated with six million kilograms in 2012 alone. Glyphosate is cheap and readily available at all wholesale garden stores. Some claim it is completely harmless, while others say it is a serious health hazard for man and animals. Large-scale studies of the herbicide have only been carried out by the industry itself. Such studies would be far too expensive for individual authorities. But glyphosate so far only has a limited licence in Europe, and this year, the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment in Germany is responsible for extending it. Now, the WHO has suddenly announced it is calling for an all-out ban on glyphosate, right in the middle of the decision-making procedure. A WHO cancer research team considers the herbicide produced by Monsanto, Syngenta and BASF to be absolutely toxic and probably carcinogenic. More and more people and animals that are exposed to the substance become ill – and there are a large number of unexplained miscarriages and deformities in humans in South America, especially in areas where glyphosate is used on large monocultures. Critical scientists have been warning of the long-term damage for years. But their studies have not been recognised by the authorities. We ask how a substance without a tested licence in Germany has been extended for test operation since 1974, even though there has been evidence of its toxicity for the past 10 years. The film sets out in search of sick animals and humans and asks how the WHO has reached these new conclusions and what action the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment is taking.
