- Description: An advocacy piece arguing GMOs are dangerous, citing animal studies of immune, insulin and organ damage and the American Academy of Environmental Medicine's advice that patients avoid GM foods. It asks readers to buy non-GMO and press stores, as consumer pressure did with rbGH milk.

If you have never heard about genetically modified organisms(GMOs), you may not know that they may be one of the most dangerous health and environmental problems we face. Animal studies show GMOs cause immune and insulin problems,organ damage, gastrointestinal dysfunction, accelerated aging, and higher death rates. Those risks have lead The American Academy of Environmental Medicine to ask physicians to advise all patients to avoid GM foods.

**The Campaign’s goal is push GMOs out of the entire food supply, protecting our health and the health of future generations.** 

The key is creating a tipping point where a sufficient number of shoppers in the US avoid GM ingredients, and force major food companies to stop using them. We’ve already seen a tipping point in the use of genetically engineered bovine growth hormone (rbGH or rbST) in the U.S. Consumer concerns forced Wal-Mart, Starbucks, Kroger, Dannon, Yoplait and most of the 100 top US dairies to remove products from cows treated with rbGH or rbST. ***It’s time to turn GMOs into a marketing liability and reach the tipping point against all GM ingredients.***
