Tidal wave of food manufacturers switching to sunflower oil to avoid toxic GMO corn, soy and canola oils

by J.D. Heyes, Natural News:

In an effort to avoid the health-harming problems caused by GMO soy, corn and canola oils, food manufacturers are turning to the cleaner, non-GMO benefits of sunflower oil. Furthermore, sunflower oil is void of trans fats, another plus when it comes to maintaining good health.

Of course, by now we’re all aware of the fact that GMOs wreak havoc on health. They’ve been proven to damage blood, destroy reproductive organs and create cellular damage in the body. At the same time, Monsanto, the company that incites frustration among many people for their involvement in GMOs, and worse, their refusal to admit that they’re unhealthy, is a key player in the GMO field.

The greedy company maintains that GMOs are proven to be safe, are thoroughly tested, and are helpful in reducing agricultural chemical use. As just one example, Monsanto maintains that the protein in their high-lysine corn is safe because it’s found in soil, suggesting that it’s good to ingest, since consumption of soil on vegetables and fruits has been occurring in the human diet throughout history. Clearly, that kind of logic is only a warped attempt to try to pull the wool over our eyes. Health conscious people know better.

In addition to GMOs, trans fats also destroy health

As for trans fats, it’s no secret that they should be avoided. They’re used to boost food flavoring, maintain a product’s appearance and increase shelf life, but they also contribute to weight gain and memory loss. For example, one study found that men aged 45 and younger who ate a junk food diet high in trans fats performed less effectively on word recall tests for every additional gram of trans fats they ate every day. “As I tell patients,” says Beatrice A. Golomb, MD, PhD, and lead author of that study which was published in PLOS ONE, “while trans fats increase the shelf life of foods, they reduce the shelf life of people.”
