I just read an article at Dr Mercola’s site, and he is NOT a fan of GE, or genetic engineering. The article is very long, but here are some of the main points:

  • GE foods are resistant to antibiotics
  • Growth of GE foods cause damage to beneficial insects
  • GE foods adversely affect soil fertility
  • It may cause the creation of GE “superweeds” and “superpests”
  • GE foods may cause new viruses and bacteria

I definitely plan on reading more about GE foods and how they can affect health. Right now, I am trying to figure out the dividing point between scare mongers and corporations that are only interested in the bottom line.
