The top 10 breakfast cereals most
likely to contain Monsanto's GMO corn

(NaturalNews) By now, nearly everyone
interested in healthy living is aware of the recent research linking
Monsanto's GMO corn to cancer tumors and an increase risk of premature
death in both men and women. News of the research is spreading like wildfire
across the 'net, and support for Proposition
37 -- which seeks to label GMOs in foods -- is growing by the day.
But the media has not yet reported on the
everyday foods being sold in grocery stores right now and made with Monsanto's
genetically modified corn (GM corn). Which foods are most likely to contain
Monsanto GM corn? To answer this question, I visited a local grocery store in
Austin, Texas and purchased 10 breakfast cereals made with high levels
of non-organic corn.
According to the Center
for Food Safety, up to 85% of the corn grown in the United States is
genetically modified. This means corn-based cereals that use non-organic corn
have a very high likelihood of containing GM corn.
The following list presents the top 10
popular breakfast cereals most likely to contain Monsanto's genetically
modified corn. For the record, none of these cereals claim to be GMO-free, nor
made with organic corn. The exact GMO content of these cereals remains a
mystery precisely because manufacturers of these cereals refuse to label them
with their GMO content. This lack of full disclosure by the food industry
underscores the urgent need for a labeling law so that consumers can make an
informed decision.
Legal note: In no way are we claiming
these cereals will cause cancer tumors to grow in your body or that they pose
an immediate risk to your health. Those studies have not yet been done on
humans. GM corn is an experimental
crop with unknown long-term effects of humans. Breakfast cereals made with GM
corn may turn out to pose a significant long-term risk to human health, but
that has not yet been determined. This article is presented in the public
interest, reflecting reasonable caution over a common food ingredient which
French scientists have now convincingly linked to cancer and premature death in
studies conducted on rats.

Which cereals contain no GMOs? Nature's Path
There is only one brand of breakfast cereal I know of that's 100%
non-GMO and 100% organic across their entire product line. That company is Nature's
Path:
If you buy breakfast cereal, and you don't want to eat Monsanto's GM corn, always choose cereals
from Nature's Path. This is my No. 1 most highly trusted cereal company.
Many "natural" brands that appear to be healthful and natural
are actually not organic or GMO-free. For example, "Barbara's
Bakery" cereals are not organic. Although they are positioned in store
shelves alongside other organic cereals, they are actually made with
conventional crops grown with pesticides which may include Monsanto's Roundup.
You may also notice that most of the cereals most likely to contain GM corn are children's cereals. It is the children in America who are being fed the most GMOs. This represents a highly unethical food experiment being conducted on an entire generation, and the long-term effects of human consumption of GMOs are simply not known.

What we do know is that rats fed this very same Monsanto GM corn developed
shockingly large cancer tumors.
The photo released by the French research team, showing large cancer
tumors growing at a strongly heightened risk in rats fed a "lifetime"
of Monsanto's GM corn, is shown below. According to that study, 70% of
females died premature and showed significant damage to their liver,
kidneys and other organs.
