GMOs
Genetically Modified Organisms
Corn specifically contains Bt toxin - causing leaky gut (thins lining of intestines allowing undigested food/proteins to pass through to blood stream triggering immune system)
The glyphosate used on GM crops is not only an herbicide, but also a potent antibiotic potentially killing beneficial bacteria within the intestinal tract. Even with minimal exposure, glyphosate can significantly reduce the population of beneficial gut bacteria and promote the overgrowth of harmful strains.
Bt-toxin may also activate the immune system. Mice were exposed to Bt-toxin experienced an immune reaction and subsequently reacted to foods that had not formerly triggered a response.[14] The Bt-toxin primed the immune system to become reactive to other, once benign, foods.
All soybeans contain trypsin inhibitor, which blocks an important enzyme needed to digest protein, but Roundup Ready® soybeans contain as much as seven times more than non-GMO soy.[17,18] The results of these studies suggest that genetically engineered foods may lead to serious digestive compromise.
