Stop eating Genetically Modified Foods immediately doctors say
The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) today released its position paper on Genetically Modified foods stating that “GM foods pose a serious health risk” and calling for a moratorium on GM foods. Citing several animal studies, the AAEM concludes “there is more than a casual association between GM foods and adverse health effects” and that “GM foods pose a serious health risk in the areas of toxicology, allergy and immune function, reproductive health, and metabolic, physiologic and genetic health.”
The AAEM calls for:
• A moratorium on GM food, implementation of immediate long term safety testing and labeling of GM food.
• Physicians to educate their patients, the medical community and the public to avoid GM foods.
• Physicians to consider the role of GM foods in their patients’ disease processes.
• More independent long term scientific studies to begin gathering data to investigate the role of GM foods on human health.

I think at the least, we should have our foods labelled as GMO if they are substantially that. Then the consumer can make a decision as to whether they will consume that product. It would also enable scientists to track any effects that seem to be associated with GMOs. Right now the big seed companies like Monsanto can say there are no bad effects cause no one is tracking the consumption of GMOs.
