The top 10 breakfast cereals most likely to contain Monsanto's GMO corn
(NaturalNews) By now, nearly everyone interested in healthy living is aware of the recent research
linking Monsanto's GMO corn to cancer tumors and an increase risk of premature death in both men and women. News of
the research is spreading like wildfire across the 'net, and support for
Proposition 37 -- which seeks to label GMOs in foods -- is growing by the day.
But
the media has not yet reported on the everyday foods being sold in
grocery stores right now and made with Monsanto's genetically modified
corn (GM corn). Which foods are most likely to contain Monsanto GM corn?
To answer this question, I visited a local grocery store in Austin,
Texas and purchased
10 breakfast cereals made with high levels of non-organic corn.
According to the
Center for Food Safety,
up to 85% of the corn grown in the United States is genetically
modified. This means corn-based cereals that use non-organic corn have a
very high likelihood of containing GM corn.
The following list
presents the top 10 popular breakfast cereals most likely to contain
Monsanto's genetically modified corn. For the record, none of these
cereals claim to be GMO-free, nor made with organic corn. The exact GMO
content of these cereals remains a mystery precisely because
manufacturers of these cereals refuse to label them with their GMO
content. This lack of full disclosure by the food industry underscores
the urgent need for a labeling law so that consumers can make an
informed decision.
Legal note: In no way are we claiming these
cereals will cause cancer tumors to grow in your body or that they pose
an immediate risk to your health. Those studies have not yet been done
on humans. GM corn is an
experimental crop with unknown long-term
effects of humans. Breakfast cereals made with GM corn may turn out to
pose a significant long-term risk to human health, but that has not yet
been determined. This article is presented in the public interest,
reflecting reasonable caution over a common food ingredient which French
scientists have now convincingly linked to cancer and premature death
in studies conducted on rats.

Which cereals contain no GMOs? Nature's PathThere
is only one brand of breakfast cereal I know of that's 100% non-GMO and
100% organic across their entire product line. That company is
Nature's Path:
If
you buy breakfast cereal, and you don't want to eat Monsanto's GM corn,
always choose cereals from Nature's Path. This is my No. 1 most highly
trusted cereal company.
Many "natural" brands that appear to be healthful and natural are actually
not organic or GMO-free. For example, "Barbara's Bakery" cereals are not
organic. Although they are positioned in store shelves alongside other
organic cereals, they are actually made with conventional crops grown
with pesticides which may include Monsanto's Roundup.
You may also notice that most of the cereals most likely to contain GM corn are
children's cereals.
It is the children in America who are being fed the most GMOs. This
represents a highly unethical food experiment being conducted on an
entire generation, and the long-term effects of human consumption of
GMOs are simply not known.
What we do know is that rats fed this very same Monsanto GM corn developed shockingly large cancer tumors.
The
photo released by the French research team, showing large cancer tumors
growing at a strongly heightened risk in rats fed a "lifetime" of
Monsanto's GM corn, is shown below. According to that study,
70% of females died premature and showed significant damage to their liver, kidneys and other organs.
