GMO foods

I’m a huge fan of his work, because he always cites his references. He does a great job thoroughly researching his topics, and uses an unbiased view. Research on any topic, especially health related, can be so frustrating and difficult. You can pretty much find a “study” to support any hypothesis, but knowing how to interpret the studies, and detect flaw or bias, is another story. It takes a ton of time, statistical understanding, and digging for more information, to pull out a decent study.

When working with patients and clients, I often don’t get to this topic for awhile, because most people are focusing on switching over from a processed foods dependency, to a whole foods based diet. I like to take one priority at a time.

First real food, then better quality food. The good news is, much of the GMO foods like corn, soy and cottonseed, are still greatly reduced in consumption, simply because these ingredients are so prevalent in processed foods. Next time you pick up a processed food, take a look the ingredients label. Chances are, there is some type of soy, corn or cottonseed oil, or derivative (of which there are many).

Not gonna lie, I do indulge quite often in corn chips, but after reading so much about GMO’s, I am sure to look for organic corn chips only. I don’t want that scary mutant crap in my food!
