GMOs Are Not Just In Food Products

GMOs have known to mainly be in our food and beverages in the grocery store. Many well known victims to genetic modification are squash, corn, soy and many other similar fruits and vegetables. Well the last thing you would think about it GMOs in your home products, you don't ingest them, just use them. According to Natural Cures Not Medicine, this may be the case after all.

Beauty Care Products

Many beauty care products like deodorant sprays, lotions, and facial cleansers, contain GMO derivatives. Look out for denatured alcohol which is simply ethanol made from BT corn. Also be weary of creams made with soy protein isolates, or dehydrogenated soy ingredients as these are also likely GMO.

Cotton

Is that shirt that you have on right now Organic? GM cotton covers more than 15 million hectares on the planet is accounts for more than 70 percent of all cotton grown. Chances are that your cotton swabs and balls are also GM Cotton.

Ink

While soy ink is marketed as an alternative to petroleum based products it is made from GM soy beans. Soy ink is printed on a variety of items from newspapers to magazines. It is also readily absorbed through the skin.

Hand Sanitizer

Not only do hand sanitizers fuel the creation of antibiotic resistant super bugs but they also contain ethanol made from GM corn.

Gasoline

When you go to the pump and see those little stickers that are appearing everywhere that say “May Contain up to 10% ethanol” you can rest assured that it is not ethanol derived from organically grown corn. The idiotic government subsidies shoved into the horribly inefficient process of ethanol production are ending up as fumes in traffic that you and I are breathing in.

So now you know whether you are consuming or using, GM products should never be trusted and can come into your life without even knowing it at all.  Exposure to these products can leave a after effect. Remember to go organic, the safest route of all, as it doesn't contain harmful chemicals or GM product.
