GMO's What are they and How to Avoid them

1.What are GMO's: Genetically Modified Organisms "Genes from other plants, viruses, bacteria, animals, etc. are inserted into the genes of certain products such as corn to make them more stable and resistant to drought, disease and pesticides. However, because of this cross-breeding, the safety of such foods has not been able to have been proven and other countries (and some counties in the U.S.) have banned the modified foods from being imported and/or grown."

2.Why should you avoid them: Many GMO's seed have been soaked in Roundup, yup the crazy super potent herbicide. "Recent research claims that Monsanto's Roundup Ready 

genetically modified crops contain an organism, previously unknown to science, that can cause miscarriages in farm animals." Um if it's unknown to science why are we unknowingly consuming food composed of GMO's? http://natural-fertility-info.com/gmo-infertility.html
