Guest guest Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 Genetically Engineered Foods and Rosacea According to Jeffrey M. Smith in his new book " Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies about the Safety of Genetically Engineered Foods You're Eating, " scientific studies have now shown genetically engineered foods to be irritating and harmful to the digestive tracts of laboratory animals. And this is just one of numerous dangers regarding GM genetically modified foods. Since eastern medicine attributes rosacea to internal toxic heat due to inappropriate diet and lifestyle, GM foods can now be seen as a potential factor in the manifestation of rosacea. Most people are eating GM foods and they are not even aware of it since there is currently no law governing its labeling in America unlike Europe and Japan. People are unknowingly participating in the largest unethical experiment in history! See below for current list of GM foods. How can you avoid GM foods?
