World-class Exotic and Organic Ingredients That Restore Your Body
We have all heard from one source or another that Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) and pesticides aren’t necessarily good for our bodies - but just how bad can they be? Today, modern people are consuming more genetically modified foods than ever before - and it is taking a serious toll on their health.
Just look at the statistics
According to data gathered by the Institute for Responsible Technology, rates of obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel disorder, liver cancer and deaths due to intestinal infections have skyrocketed ever since the introduction of GMOs into our diets in the 1990’s.
Studies show that rats fed genetically modified foods, such as tomatoes, developed abnormal cell growths in their small intestines, sounding major alarm bells for cancer & other digestive health problems.

Even more concerning is that the evidence shows consuming genetically modified foods can literally alter your DNA. Yes. Your DNA. Scientists studied the liver cells of mice who were fed genetically modified soybeans and saw altered gene expression and physical structural changes to their livers.
These scary changes were immediately reversed once the mice were switched to organic soybeans, which clearly demonstrates that it was indeed the GMO soybeans that originally caused the problem.
You might be thinking, “Sure, there are some studies that show GMO foods are bad for my health, but there are also plenty of studies that show they are fine, right?”
The truth is many scientists are hesitant to say for sure if GMOs are 100% safe for the human body.
Since most studies are only conducted over short 3-month trial periods on a very small group of animal test subjects, the general consensus amongst scientists is something along the lines of “Hey, we don’t actually know for sure if GMOs are bad, because we haven’t had enough time to thoroughly observe the long term effects of GMOs on lab animals.” (1) (2) (3)
“In conclusion, our data presented here strongly recommend that additional long-term (up to 2 years) animal feeding studies be performed in at least three species, preferably also multi-generational, to provide true scientifically valid data on the acute and chronic toxic effects of GM crops, feed and foods. Our analysis highlights that the kidneys and liver as particularly important on which to focus such research as there was a clear negative impact on the function of these organs in rats consuming GM maize varieties for just 90 days.”

With that being said, choosing ethically-sourced, organic ingredients to put in your body is the best way to prevent any potential negative side effects brought on by GMO foods. However, just because an “organic” sticker is on the packaging, does not mean that food is automatically up to standard.
