One of many reasons why it’s so important to eat organic.
Got Corn Allergies? The USDA has just deregulated yet another toxic GMO corn - Bayer-Monsanto's MON 95275 - that produces two insecticidal proteins and a double-stranded RNA transcript from an inverted repeat sequence designed to match the western corn rootworm. The corn is registered with the EPA as a pesticide because that's exactly what it is: a pesticide. The insecticides are in the corn and can't be washed off. To make matters worse, it's genetically engineered to tolerate spraying with multiple toxic herbicides, potentially up to five. These endocrine-disrupting, carcinogenic herbicides are absorbed into the corn and also can't be washed off.
This corn will be used for ethanol, conventional animal feed, and put into conventional processed foods that use corn, like Coca-Cola and Kellogg's Corn Flakes.
Products made with toxic GMO corn belong in the pesticide aisle, not on grocery stores' food shelves. If you have allergies to conventional corn products, now you know why.
