These look like the real deal
So there you have a few reasons to opt for non-GMO foods as part of a healthy diet. The exact safety of GMOs is hitherto unknown, but there are plenty of reasons to go natural nonetheless.

Antioxidants help your body’s cells to heal after hard exercise and therefore aid in your recovery. In this way, non-GMO foods play an important role in your fitness journey.
We have already mentioned the nutritional and immune system benefits of going non-GMO, so it should be clear that a non-GMO diet is better for overall fitness.
Avoiding GMOs has been shown to reduce the symptoms of a skin parasite and increase quality of life for those people who suffer with this chronic problem.
However, there is another reason this is true: organic non-GMO crops have been found to contain 60% more antioxidants than GMO crops.
GMOs contain more allergens than non-GMOs, and they have even been found to contain new allergens that do not occur in natural plant species.
Using heavy chemicals to grow GMOs also uses more energy than growing foods naturally, which puts a further strain on the world’s natural resources.
While we do not know exactly how GMOs impact our bodies, we do know that non-GMO foods are richer in certain nutrients.
There has been a surge in recent years of people suffering allergic reactions, in particular to GM soy and corn.
GMOs are often engineered using chemical preservatives that make them last longer and look fresher for longer.
The use of antibiotics can create antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, which reduces the overall immunity of the human body and makes us more susceptible to disease.
This means that GMO products are often not as fresh as we think, and therefore not so nutritionally beneficial.
GMOs are engineered in a chemical-rich environment, which over time causes soil erosion and infertility, as well as increases pollution.
GMOs are grown using harsh fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides, whose residue inevitably resides inside the product, even after careful washing on the outside.
Furthermore, there is no evidence that the GMOs currently on the market actually increase yield, enhance nutrition, or have any other consumer benefit.
Currently there are no long-term feeding studies that have looked at the impact of GMOs on our health, and their safety is therefore unknown.
In other countries, including the US, there is no such law, which makes going non-GMO more difficult. Nonetheless, here are some things to consider if you are thinking of cutting out GMOs.
As a result, more and more people are joining the non-GMO revolution and opting for goods that have not been genetically modified over those that have.
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are organisms whose genetic makeup has been artificially modified in a lab. Their genetic makeup does not occur in the natural world.
Generally, GMOs are created to be able to withstand the direct application of a herbicide and/or produce an insecticide.
Increasingly, however, there are other reasons GMOs are being created, such as to prevent browning in apples.
In recent years, a common recommendation for a person struggling with a skin parasite is to focus on eating healthier foods and cutting out GMOs.
Itchy skin and skin inflammation can be a real nuisance to deal with. It is a common problem and can be difficult to diagnose.
The chance of having an allergic reaction to a GMO is therefore higher; there are even stories of people who are allergic to GM soy, but not natural soy.
Many people who opt for non-GMO, naturally-grown foods find that their symptoms of ill health soon begin to disappear.
GMO animal products are often pumped full of antibiotics and growth hormones. This can cause damage to our immune system.
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are organisms whose genetic makeup has been genetically modified, generally for a commercial benefit. We speak about GMOs most often in the context of food; in recent years, there has been a rise in the number of GM foods lining supermarket shelves.
Although food products are often genetically modified to increase yield, there is no evidence that the process actually has this effect. Coupled with the fact that the safety of GMOs is still unknown, more and more people are opting out of the GMO trend.
