The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) has called on all physicians to prescribe diets without genetically modified (GM) foods to all patients.1 They called for a moratorium on genetically modified organisms (GMOs), long-term independent studies, and labeling.

…There is more than a casual association between GM foods and adverse health effects. There is causation…"

The Article Continues...

In the nine years after GM crops were introduced in 1996, Americans with three or more chronic diseases jumped from 7 percent to 13 percent.24 But without any human clinical trials or post marketing surveillance, we may never know if GMOs are a contributor.

Citizens need not wait for more research to take the doctors’ advice: avoid GMOs.

Consult the Non-GMO Shopping Guide (www.NonGMOShoppingGuide.com). Even a small percentage of people choosing non-GMO brands could force the food industry to remove all GM ingredients.

Thus, the AAEM’s non-GMO prescription may be a watershed for the US food supply.

Tell the USDA that you DO care about GE contamination of organic crops and the food you eat! Let the USDA know that you WILL reject GE Contaminated Alfalfa and Alfalfa-Derived Foods and that GE Alfalfa will significantly increase the use of pesticides, resulting in harm to human health and the overall environment.

Also, send the FDA your feedback now!

Has anyone actually looked at the claims of the "American Academy of Environmental Medicine"? They are total woo-masters! They subscribe to almost every form of pseudo-scientific quasi-medicine like chelation-therapy for non-heavy-metal poisoning, hyperbaric treatments, bioidenticals, oxidatives and so on.

How can anyone avoid GM foods when the foods that reach most tables is preprocessed and people really have no way of knowing it's sources.

Agreed PNB.

Here is a shopping guide for non-gmo food. I have no idea how valid it may be.

I am relieved this has come to light and is being acted upon. It amazes me how anyone can introduce something like GMOs without doing long-term studies.

Well, the article states any effect GMO's may have on the human body will most likely be undetectable. Glad Dr. M included a link to more information on what brands use GMO's and those that don't.

The thing is other doctors are contradicting this opinion. I have been around long enough to have lived through mistakes of professionals of science and medicine. More is not always better. Let's hope this doctor is right in his opinions.
