Top 10 Most Dangerous GMO Foods To Avoid Eating At All Costs

Genetically modified foods are foods that have been genetically altered into a new food. GMO foods, otherwise known as GE (Genetically engineered) foods have been found to be harmful to human health for various reasons.

There is ongoing debate about the potential impacts of genetically modified (GMO) foods on gut health. Some research suggests that GMO foods may be harmful to the gut microbiome, while other studies have found no significant differences in the gut microbiome of animals fed genetically modified foods compared to those fed non-GMO diets. But what is truthful? Well, you have to dig deeper to get the truth! As always.

One concern is that GMO crops may contain high levels of pesticides, which do in fact harm the gut microbiome. Some studies have found that animals fed diets containing genetically modified crops treated with pesticides had changes in their gut microbiome, although it is not clear if these changes were caused by the GMO crops or the pesticides. But what else would it be caused by? Beyond that, other research has become valuable in displaying other risks of GMO foods. It has been found that genetically modified crops may contain antibiotic resistance genes, which could potentially lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the gut microbiome.

In other words, pesticides do a number on the gut microbiome (in a bad way) then the antibiotic resistant bacteria does a number on it also, wreaking havoc on the gut microbiome. The bacterial balance of the gut microbiome is very important which is why we take it so seriously with our health coaching services.

Without further ado, here are the Top 10 GMO Foods to avoid at all costs!
