After doing extensive research on GMO foods, Monsanto, and Codex Alimentarius I was disturbed to find that most people I speak to have no idea what any of these topics mean and how wide spread it has become right under our noses. This topic effects each and every person in the world that consumes food that is not organic. Many countries are now growing Monsanto frankencrops and GE foods that is already posing a serious problem of contaminating the nearby farms of natural crops. After my research I learned that on several scientific studies some of the findings are quite disturbing:
The mice refused to even eat the tomoatoes and had to be force fed. By the third generation all the mice were sterile. When the Genetically altered food is consumed it passes through the stomach and effects the DNA structure of the consumer. The DNA structure becomes altered and through each generation the DNA genetic structure ia effected differently with no set pattern and causes damage in a variety of health problems. Some of the results from the lab experiments resulted in the following: an increase in cancer cells, an environment that allows for cancer cells to grow more easily, liver damage, premature aging, early death, allergies, fatigue, damage to reproductive organs.

The documentary most americans will never see!! Here is the foreign made documentary about Monsanto: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6262083407501596844&hl=en
"'FRANKENFOODS' SURVEY OF THE WEEK:
CBS NEWS & NEW YORK TIMES POLL CONSUMERS ABOUT GE FOODS
-
53%: Percentage of polled Americans who say they won't buy food that has ingredients from genetically engineered (GE) plants.
-
65%: Actual percentage of products on grocery store shelves that contain unlabeled GE ingredients (usually soy or corn derived).
-
90%: Portion of U.S. grown soybeans that are genetically engineered.
-
99%: Estimated likelihood that the U.S. sugar supply will start to be sourced from genetically engineered plants this year."

Monsanto's GM corn MON863 shows kidney, liver toxicity in animal studies
"A variety of genetically modified corn that was approved for human consumption in 2006 caused signs of liver and kidney toxicity as well as hormonal changes in rats in a study performed by researchers from the independent Committee for Independent Research and Genetic Engineering at the University of Caen in France"
