The Corbett Report busts 5 known #GMO myths.
Myth #5 – GMOs feed more people
Myth #4 – GMOs reduce pesticide use
Myth #3 – No evidence of health problems
Myth #2 – Genetic Engineering = Conventional Breeding
Myth #1 – GMOs shouldn’t be labeled
I encourage you to SHARE this video to everyone you know and help your friends and family become educated on the harmful effects of GMOs. Despite what Big Food is telling you, GMOs are NOT safe and they CAN be harmful to your #health, environment and ecosystem.

Sugar Kills

When mice ate a diet of 25 percent extra sugar – the mouse equivalent of a healthy human diet plus three cans of soda daily – females died at twice the normal rate and males were a quarter less likely to hold territory and reproduce, according to a toxicity test developed at the University of Utah.
“Our results provide evidence that added sugar consumed at concentrations currently considered safe exerts dramatic adverse impacts on mammalian health,” the researchers explain.
“I have reduced refined sugar intake and encouraged my family to do the same,” he adds, noting that the new test showed that the 25 percent “added-sugar” diet – 12.5 percent dextrose (the industrial name for glucose) and 12.5 percent fructose – was just as harmful to the health of mice as being the inbred offspring of first cousins.
Even though the mice didn’t become obese and showed few metabolic symptoms, the sensitive test showed “they died more often and tended to have fewer babies,” says the study’s first author, James Ruff, who recently earned his Ph.D. at the University of Utah. “We have shown that levels of sugar that people typically consume – and that are considered safe by regulatory agencies – impair the health of mice.”
