10. Sugar
GMO sugar beets were introduced in America in 2009. Most products that state that they are sweetened with “sugar” come from sugar beets unless they say ‘pure cane sugar.’
Too much sugar in your diet is bad for your health anyway, but when you add to that GMO sugar, it’s double trouble! GMO sugar beets are infused at the genetic level with glyphosate (RoundUp). Yes, that same herbicide that you see for sale in garden centers. With every bite, you are eating RoundUp. Although no one would serve a bottle of this herbicide along with dinner or dessert, that is essentially what you are doing when you serve GMO sugar beets or any GMO product. RoundUp has been known to cause cancer and is killing off the bee population in America.

Read your labels with great care. If it doesn’t say cane sugar, it’s GMO. This goes for table sugar, brown sugar, or powdered sugar. This is why you might see several packages on your supermarket shelf proudly stating in large type “Made with Pure Cane Sugar.” They want you to know what you are buying. In today’s GMO world, that is priceless.
