Experts around the world agree that we should
eat plenty of raw fruits and vegetables. However, the market is flooded with
GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) fruits and vegetables, despite the fact
that many different studies have shown that GMO products can seriously affect
our overall health!
Do you really know what you eat?
Unfortunately, most people can not identify the GMO tomatoes or other GMO
products, so in this article we are going to show you how to distinguish
between them.

How Safe Are GMOs?
There are two very different views when it
comes to the health and safety of genetically modified food — industry leaders
and scientists who support GMOs, and those who believe that GMOs are harmful.
Genetically modified foods have been linked to toxic and allergic reactions,
sick, sterile and dead livestock, and damage to virtually every organ studied
in lab animals.
Note: Most developed nations do not consider
GMOs to be safe. In fact, in more than 60 countries around the world, including
Australia, Mexico, Peru, Japan and all of the countries in the European Union,
there are significant restrictions or outright bans on the production and sale
of GMOs.
How To Identify GMO Products — GMO Labeling
By reading the PLU code, or price lookup
number printed on the sticker, you can tell if a product was conventionally
grown, organically grown, or genetically modified.
.Conventionally grown fruits and vegetables
(grown with fertilizers, pesticides, fungicidess, antibiotics, hormones), are
labeled with a four digits code. For instance, a banana is labeled with the
code: 4011.
.Organic fruits and vegetables (produced
without synthetic chemicals), are labeled with a five digits code, starting
with the number 9. An organic banana would be: 94011.
.Genetically modified (GMO) fruits and
vegetables are labeled with a five digits code, starting with the number 8. A
genetically modified banana would be: 84011.
Note: These tips are very important, as
currently more than 80 percent of processed foods in the United States have
been genetically modified. In many European countries, including Austria,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Luxembourg and Italy, the production and sale
of GMO products is banned.
