Information on GMO’s is easy to find using any search engine you
prefer. Just scan through the results for reputable-looking sites. There
is a video called
The Lies of GMO on
YouTube that you might find interesting. Although, I can’t say for sure if it’s reputable! I saw the link on a site arguing against
GMOs so no doubt it is biased, as most things are.
Personally, I have not conducted enough research to form a definitive
opinion on the matter. I have heard enough nay-saying on GMO’s and
GE’s, however, that I am leaning against it. This matter was brought to
my attention this morning when I saw an ad for
Cheerios,
wanting readers to sponsor books for children. Sounds great. I read
some of the comments, and to my surprise, they were all about Cheerios
containing GMO’s, and how terrible it is. What a shock for me! I grew up
eating these, and I have been feeding them to my son. Apparently they
are not what they used to be.

There is an article called
Cheerios: The Lies That General Mills Feeds Us that, again, may or may not be from a reliable source. Feel free to read it and let me know what you think.
I realize I am posting a lot of links, and the reason is because I am
not qualified to give you any kind of opinion, much less suggestion, on
this. Rather, I am seeking out your ideas, suggestions, advice. But I
want it backed up by facts. I have had enough heresay. I am interested
in cold, hard facts. Links to reputable resources and scientific
evidence, either way.
Speaking of reputable, I think this resource, may be one(!):
Why Grains and Glutens aren’t bad for you. And how about this
one, assuming there is such a thing as a ‘healthy’ cereal (please say there is because I am a cereal nut!).
The problem is always, of course, that with online information,
anyone, anywhere, can put up anything so there is no verifying
credentials. If someone knows web development, they can make a website
look legitimate.
I look forward to your input! Healthy eating and Happy
Memorial Day!

Lately I’ve been pretty busy trying to keep everything together;
fundraisers, clinical, studying, tests, presentations, process papers,
patient care plans, trying to find time to sleep, eat, and take care of
everything that comes after that. I try to pour so much energy into the
blogs that I posts, making sure that the information is accurate and
interesting. It usually takes me quite some of them together, which is
why I haven’t had as many as I would like too.
