The controversy over genetically modified organisms

Gluten Free Dairy Free

The controversy over genetically modified organisms (GMO) or GM (genetically modified) foods, is becoming a mainstream debate and it should concern people following a gluten free diet.

The debate centers around whether there are negative health consequences from consuming GMO foods including those foods marketed as gluten free. There is currently a lot of information about allergic reactions and other kinds of symptoms that people are reporting and that studies are showing as a result of consuming GMO foods.

Studies show evidence that GM foods can cause infertility, immune system issues, aging at a faster pace, insulin regulation, changes affecting major organs and problems in the gastrointestinal system.

A very important reason to avoid genetically modified foods specifically is the potential for allergic reactions and other symptoms. GM ingredients may cause reactions and symptoms very similar to gluten intolerance related symptoms, so you may be mislead as to how eliminating gluten is actually working in your body.
