The first question people ask is how they can avoid eating GM foods. A more complete treatment of this topic is found in Seeds of Deception, in chapter 8.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoBodyTextIndent">By not eating GM foods, you not only protect yourself from the risks, you also contribute economic pressure on food manufacturers to remove GM ingredients. They won't wait for a large percentage of shoppers to switch to competitors' non-GMO alternatives. If they lose even a small percentage of their market share, food producers will likely source non-GMO ingredients to protect their sales.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black">Earlier print runs of the book have a mistake that I am happy to correct here. Organic foods are not allowed to contain GM ingredients. Although there are a percentage of non-organic ingredients allowed in foods labeled organic, even these non-organic ingredients are not allowed to contain GMOs. (Just as with the organic ingredients, however, there is no testing required and it is possible that some contamination may have occurred.)<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black">There are three categories of genetically modified (GM) foods: crops, dairy products and meat, and enzymes and additives created from GM bacteria and fungus. Not everyone who conscientiously avoids GM foods chooses to be strict in all categories. I mention this so that the task does not seem so daunting or difficult. It's also a good idea to have a family member or a friend to make the change with you. The site www.truefoodnow.org<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>offers an extensive list of foods by brand and category, indicating if they have GM ingredients.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black">If you take the step of going non-GMO, I encourage you to let the manufacturers of your “former” favorite foods know that you have stopped eating them until they confirm that they have removed GM ingredients. Only a small percentage of the population making this switch may do the trick to convince major manufacturers to go non-GMO. In fact, if one of the largest food manufacturers makes the switch, it might create a landslide of other companies also removing GMOs. This happened in England, where the all the major food manufacturers committed to remove GM ingredients in the same week, following the announcement by Unilever.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black"><b>Crops</b></span><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black">:<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black">Currently, the major genetically engineered crops are soy, cotton, canola, and corn.

GM potatoes and tomatoes have been taken off the market.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black"><b>Dairy and Meat<o:p></o:p></b></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black">U.S. dairy products may contain milk from cows injected with rbGH.

Aspartame, the diet sweetener, is a product of genetic engineering.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black">Unlike many nations around the world, in the United States and Canada GM foods are not labeled. Avoiding them, therefore, is both a science and an art. Here are some techniques.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black"><b>Vegetable Oil<o:p></o:p></b></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black">Most generic vegetable oils and margarines used in restaurants and in processed foods in North America are made from soy, corn, canola, or cottonseed-the four major GM crops. Unless these oils specifically say “Non-GMO” or “Organic,” it is probably genetically modified. Non-GM substitute oils include olive, sunflower, safflower, butter (see dairy below), almond, and just about any other oil available.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black"><b>Soy and Corn Derivatives<o:p></o:p></b></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black">Most packaged foods contain soy and/or corn in some form: as soy flour, soy protein, soy lecithin, textured vegetable protein, corn meal, corn syrup, dextrose, maltodextrin, fructose, citric acid, lactic acid, and of course, soy or corn oil. To avoid them you'll have to check the list of ingredients. For each type of food, there is usually a brand that is non-GM. These are often found in health food stores, but there are also plenty in supermarkets-depending on the food. Mayonnaise, for example, which is traditionally made with soy oil, comes in both non-GM soy and safflower varieties.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black">According to Cornell University's website Genetically Engineered Organisms, Public Issues Project (GEO-PIE), only 3 to 5 percent of the sweet corn in the U.S. is GM, and it is very unlikely that popcorn or canned sweet corn are engineered.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black">Foods that may contain GM soy or corn derivatives or GM vegetable oil include: infant formula, salad dressing, bread, cereal, hamburgers and hotdogs, margarine, mayonnaise, crackers, cookies, chocolate, candy, fried food, chips, veggie burgers, meat substitutes, ice cream, frozen yogurt, tofu, tamari, soy sauce, soy cheese, tomato sauce, protein powder, baking powder, alcohol, vanilla, powdered sugar, peanut butter, enriched flour and pasta. Non-food items include cosmetics, soaps, detergents, shampoo, and bubble bath.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black"><b>Fruit and Vegetables<o:p></o:p></b></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black">More than 50 percent of papaya from Hawaii is genetically modified to resist a virus. Most U.S. papayas come from Brazil, Mexico, or the Caribbean, however, where there are no GM varieties. According to GEO-PIE, your chances of encountering a GM papaya “are highest in Hawaii or the continental west coast.” Some zucchini and yellow crookneck squash are also GM but they are not popular with farmers.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black"><b>Honey<o:p></o:p></b></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black">Honey can be produced from GM crops.

Dairies generally collect their milk from many sources. In the U.S., if a dairy product is not labeled organic, non-GMO, or made without hormones, it is likely that a portion of the product came from cows that were injected with rbGH. You can always call or email the dairy to find out. Also, non-organic dairy farms typically use GM feed. No studies have been done on whether that affects the milk.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black"><b>Meat and Eggs<o:p></o:p></b></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black">Organic meat and eggs come from animals that have been raised without hormones and with feed that is non-GMO. So-called “natural” meat is usually free of hormones and antibiotics, but the animal may have been raised on GM feed. If you want to avoid this, you'll need to ask the producer.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black"><b>GM Additives, Cooking Aids, Vitamins, and Enzymes<o:p></o:p></b></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black">Genetic engineering is used in the production of many food additives, flavorings, vitamins, and processing aids, such as enzymes. According to the Non-GMO Source, “Such ingredients are used to improve the color, flavor, texture, and aroma of foods and to preserve, stabilize, and add nutrients to processed foods.”<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black">Among vitamins, vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is often made from corn, vitamin E is usually made from soy. Vitamins A, B2, B6, and B12 may be derived from GMOs as well. (In the first print run of Seeds of Deception, the book mistakenly indicated that folic acid was created from other GM vitamins. This is untrue, and we are not aware of any GM sources of folic acid.) In addition, vitamin D and vitamin K may have “carriers” derived from GM corn sources, such as starch, glucose, and maltodextrin. In addition to finding these vitamins in supplements, they are sometimes used to fortify foods. Organic foods, even if fortified with vitamins, are not allowed to use ingredients derived from GMOs.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black">Flavorings can also come from corn or other GM sources. For example, “hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP), a commonly used flavor enhancer derived from corn and soy could be GMO,” says the Non-GMO Source. Vanillin can also be GM.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black">“Genetically engineered bacteria and fungi are routinely used as sources of enzymes for the manufacture of a wide variety of processed foods,” says GEO-PIE. The live organisms are not added to the foods themselves. Rather, they are grown in vats and produce large quantities of enzymes. The enzymes are removed, purified, and used in food production. Oftentimes, the enzymes get destroyed during the cooking process and are not present in the final product. As such, they are rarely listed on the label.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black">One common enzyme is called chymosin, which is used in the production of hard cheeses. In the past, it was taken from the stomach linings of calves (called rennet). Since the GM variety was introduced in 1990, more than 70 percent of U.S. cheeses now use this variety. It is not allowed in organic cheese. Xanthan gum is another product that may be derived from a GM process.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black">According to the Non-GMO Source, “Europe, which is known for sensitivity about GMOs, is more advanced in genetic engineering of enzymes and microorganisms. The newest GM food labeling laws proposed by the European Parliament call for labeling of food additives and colorings, but not processing aids such as enzymes.”<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Times;color:black">Avoiding GM additives is difficult, since the label will rarely list them.

We don't want to encourage eating local and organic foods just for your own health but also for the health of the planet. Omnivite Nutrition Inc supported "Earth Hour" in turning out all lights. Thank you to all those who participated. It is estimated that such a very small contribution resulted in saving thousands of dollars in electricity just for turning off lights for one hour. What is more is the symbolic nature and gesture where people are coming together as a planet to acknowledge that we must all participate in saving our species. Here is the text message that Omnivite Nutrition sent out to encourage people all over the world to participate in this healing gesture.<div><br /></div><div>"Omnivite Nutrition Inc urges all people and businesses to participate in "Earth Hour" turning off all lights from between 8:30pm and 9:30pm Saturday night in support of saving our species."</div><div><!--StartFragment--> <div class="Section1"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><b>“The dirty dozen foods”:</b><span style="font-weight:normal"> what foods should be avoided unless grown organically.

Iron deficiency anemia is </span><span style="font-size:100%;">a condition whereby your ability to make hemoglobin becomes diminished and red blood cells (RBC’s) lose their ability to hold oxygen. This inability to hold oxygen and distribute it to all your tissues in your body is what doctors call “being anemic”. Anemia is the decreased ability to carry oxygen to your tissues with the resultant wide array of symptoms including fatigue, dizziness, headaches, cold intolerance, restless legs, poor memory, lack of ability to concentrate, depression just to name a few. </span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;">Numerous biochemical reactions in the body require iron and a deficiency in the tissues of the body is possible without actually being anemic. In fact, many symptoms described above to anemia may be more linked to low tissue iron levels. </span></p> <p> <span style="font-size:100%;"><b>IRON OVERLOAD</b></span></p> <p align="justify"> <span style="font-size:130%;"><b><u>Iron Overload</u></b>- also known as “<b>hemochromatosis</b>” is a disease where the body stores excessive amounts of iron in the tissues (“iron overload”). It is the most common inherited genetic defect to afflict humans. The abnormal gene that causes hemochromatosis is present in about 10% of the human population! There are little or no symptoms of iron overload in the early stages, but if left untreated people may eventually experience chronic infections, local inflammatory conditions such as bursitis, arthritis, tendonitis, fatigue and dizziness. As symptoms progress, early heart disease, diabetes, sterility, impotence, abnormal menstrual cycles, hepatitis and cancers may also develop. </span><br /></p> <p align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"><b><u>Measuring</u></b> <b><u> iron levels in your tissues?</u></b></span></p> <p align="justify"> <span style="font-size:130%;">Years ago iron levels in the tissues could only be checked by doing a bone biopsy, a rather painful and unpleasant experience to say the least. Scientists have discovered a much simpler and easier way to determine tissue levels of iron by measuring <b><i>ferritin</i>, TIBC and <i>% transferrin saturation</i></b> in the blood. These can be measured, very simply and inexpensively, in the blood, with results coming back in as little as 24-48 hours. <b><i>For as little as $20.00 to $50.00 your complete tissue levels of iron can be checked.</i></b> </span><br /></p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;">More information concerning iron:</span></p> <p align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"><b><u>Hemochromatosis (iron storage disease) & silent killer: easily diagnosed & treated</u></b> </span></p> <p align="justify"> <span style="font-size:130%;">It has been known for many years that many people tend to store iron in their tissues in excessive amounts in a condition known as <b><i>hemochromatosis</i></b>. It is believed that this hereditary disease was actually very helpful for survival. In Paleolithic times, because iron was in short supply in our diet, people who could store their iron more efficiently had a better chance of survival. They were less likely to become anemic (fatigued and exhausted), thus succumbing to other hostile humans or wild animals. </span><br /></p> <p align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"><b><u>Why don’t more people get tested for this condition?</u></b></span></p> <p align="justify"> <span style="font-size:130%;">Most physicians are not aware that some of these conditions may be related to iron overload and do not practice the art of preventive medicine. Here at the Tabor Hill Clinic we are very aware of screening for common conditions that may affect your health. We routinely screen all of our patients for hemochromatosis by checking ferritin and % transferrin saturation. We also look much closer at what is “an ideal level” of iron and as a result we have a much tighter range that we consider as “normal”. </span><br /></p> <p align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"><b><u>What to do if high levels of iron are found?</u></b> There are a number of therapeutic options to consider depending upon the progression of the condition and how high your iron levels are. Mildly elevated levels can be conservatively treated by just avoiding sources of iron such as supplements, cooking in cast iron pans, foods high in iron, and high levels of vitamin C with meals, which can greatly increase absorption of iron.</span></p> <p align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">Higher levels of iron may require periodic blood donation, oral or intravenous chelation, depending upon the individual case, always remembering that most reference ranges are set way too high. For more information go to </span><a href="http://www.americanhs.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);font-size:130%;" ><u>www.americanhs.org</u></span></a><span style="font-size:130%;">. </span></p> <p align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;"><b><u>What to do if low tissue levels of iron are found?</u></b> </span></p> <p align="justify"> <span style="font-size:130%;">Increasing foods high in iron, especially those that have better absorbed iron, is the first line of treatment. Supplements (there are many different ones), oral, IM or IV may be used in more advanced conditions. Please make sure that at some point you get your <b>ferritin and % transferrin</b> levels checked when getting your blood analyzed.
