How Do GMOs Affect The Human Body?

Blood Toxicity & Fetal Development

Research conducted in Canada, the first of its kind, had successfully identified the presence of pesticides associated with genetically modified foods in maternal, fetal, and non-pregnant women’s blood. Scientists also found Monsanto’s Bt toxin present in the blood samples as well, with these findings published in the journal Reproductive Toxicology. The study also noted the developing fetus was highly susceptible to the adverse effects of xenobiotics, a foreign chemical substance, hence why it is essential for us to learn more about the effects of GMOs, as environmental agents could disrupt the natural biological events necessary for healthy fetus growth and development.

GMO producers have stated the proteins found in GMOs are effectively broken down and eliminated during digestion. However, this claim is being questioned due to researchers finding out babies in utero tested positive for GMO toxins in their blood. Essentially, these GMO proteins survive human digestion and enter the bloodstream, then into the placenta and into the fetus, which could lead to possible birth defects.
