What the ‘gluten free’ claim on that product label may be concealing

The poison lurking in the latest diet fad

Dear Reader,

It’s everywhere.

Gluten free is the new “low-fat.”

Whether it’s a medical decision for you or a lifestyle one, you need to know there’s something dangerous hiding in your gluten-free diet.

In fact, you may unknowingly be replacing gluten with a toxic ingredient. One that can damage your kidneys, wreck your liver and even cause cancer. Here’s what you need to know right now, before you take another bite of that gluten-free cereal, cracker or chip.

And there is a way to be safe — and still be gluten free. You just have to know what to look for.

Eating gluten free seems much easier these days. Almost every company is making products for this kind of diet. It’s such a big seller that even foods that never, ever had gluten in them say so on the package!

But while you think you’re doing something good for your health, it turns out you may be doing just the opposite.

Because while all those products may be free of gluten, they’ve got something else that may be harming you much more.

I’m talking about corn.

As soon as the gluten and wheat are stripped out of a food, 7 times out of 10, it’s replaced by corn.

And not surprisingly, the corn ingredients found in most of these foods are almost guaranteed to be genetically modified.

I know you’ve heard about GM corn, but do you know what it really is — and the health horrors it can cause?

Once upon a time, actually not all that long ago, corn was just corn. A simple grain that was easy to swap out for wheat and other grains that contain gluten.

But then Monsanto started taking control of our food supply. It made some “tiny” changes in the DNA of corn…so the plant wouldn’t die when sprayed with Roundup.

By now there’s a truckload of evidence that GM corn is hazardous to your health. Study after study has shown the risks.

For example:

• A toxin added to Monsanto’s GM corn has been found in the blood of pregnant women and newborns. Monsanto swore that this poison would be completely destroyed by digestion. And of course, the EPA and FDA believed that!

 

• When rats were fed GM corn, they had significant damage to their liver, kidneys and immune system.

 

• Unexpected large and aggressive tumors also developed in rats fed GM corn.

And then there’s the Roundup. You didn’t think all the Roundup that corn is drenched in just disappears now, did you?

It doesn’t, because that’s how it’s supposed to work. It’s called a “systemic” pesticide. And every bite of GM corn is giving you a tiny dose of Roundup. Something that also disrupts your hormones and can cause permanent damage.

So when you’re grabbing that loaf of gluten-free bread or about to bite into a gluten-free cookie, make sure to read the ingredients carefully — and skeptically.

One way is to buy foods with other gluten-free seeds and grains that haven’t been tainted by Monsanto (yet). Right now that includes buckwheat, amaranth, quinoa and rice — but only if the rice is organic. And you can still have corn on your menu and be safe — just make sure it’s organic and Non-GMO Project certified.

Now is the time to take matters into our own gluten-free hands. Because if we wait for the FDA to protect us, we’ll be waiting a very, very long time.
