10 Genetically Modified Foods you must not eat

[Jade]

I use raw, local, organic honey as well. I've wondered about the stress on the bees, etc, but I also weigh it with the necessity to support bee-keeping in our era where bees have seriously diminished. I've never considered learning how to bee-keep but it actually does sound like a good time.

I also will never understand the AVOID ALL SOY hype either, I ONLY buy non-GMO soy but I consume it without worry. One of the best things on the planet to eat is natto (fermented soybeans) so to say avoid soy at all costs is a little extreme. Though if the ingredient line says "soy lecithin" and the product is not organic, definitely try to pass on that one. Soy lecithin is the dredged shells which are then processed into a thickener/filler. Almost always made with GMO soy, the shells are the most pesticide-burdened part of the crop.

(One thing to consider if you want to avoid GMO soy is something that may or may not be obvious - soy sauce. Though in my experience finding non-gmo soy sauce is actually quite difficult...)

Canola oil is something I used to use/not think about until a few months ago. Now it's on my list of do-not-purchase-if-listed-at-all ingredients.
