Protect Your Health: How to Avoid GMOs and Bioengineered Foods
In this episode of the Reimagine You Lab podcast, host MG welcomes Dr. Joyce Moore to discuss the crucial topic of avoiding GMO and bioengineered foods. Dr. Moore clarifies the distinction between these terms, explaining how "bioengineered" became the new label for genetically modified organisms. She highlights the concept of "Franken foods," emphasizing that these altered foods often lack nutritional value and can have serious adverse health effects, including immune suppression, reproductive issues, and increased risk of chronic diseases.
Dr. Moore delves into the specifics of how genetic modification occurs, explaining gene editing processes and the introduction of foreign genetic material. She provides a comprehensive list of common GMO and bioengineered foods, ranging from fruits and vegetables to processed products and even animal feed. She emphasizes the importance of reading food labels meticulously, looking for certifications like "non-GMO project verified" and "USDA organic," and understanding PLU codes on produce. The discussion also touches on the global reach of GMOs, identifying key producing countries and the pervasive presence of these foods in the modern diet.
Beyond human consumption, Dr. Moore stresses the importance of considering pet food and the impact of steroids and hormones in livestock. She expresses a deep concern for public health, advocating for informed consumer choices and ethical food production. Ultimately, the episode serves as a powerful call to action, urging listeners to take control of their dietary choices and prioritize natural, unadulterated foods to protect their health and well-being.
