Read more on USDA.gov why organic is cleaner and safer than non-GMO.
Here are the shocking differences between organic vs. GMOs that you need to be aware of.
According to the USDA regulations, products that have the "organic" label are not allowed to contain any GMO ingredients, not even in the smallest percentage.
All toxic pesticides and residues are banned from organic crop production while non-GMO crops don't undergo these strict regulations, and contain carcinogens and reproductive toxins, among others.
Glyphosate is the most common herbicide, and it's forbidden for organic, but is widely used for non-GMO crops. This chemical compound is linked to breast cancer and kidney disease when accumulated in the body.
Hexane is a dangerous neurotoxin that is completely prohibited in organic processed foods, while non-GMOs contain this toxin. Most oils like corn, soybean, and canola are extracted with hexane.
Biosolids is a term used for treated wastewater flushed down the toilets from homes, hospitals, and heavy industries. They are used to fertilize non-GMO crops and can contain pharmaceuticals, pesticides, heavy metals, and other toxic materials.
Obesogens are pesticides, chemicals, and growth-medicine that scientists call obesogens. These compounds make the body store more fat, leading to obesity.
Farmers who produce organic meat don't feed their animals with hormonal drugs. Growth-promoting antibiotics induce fattening of the animals, but they also kill the good gut bacteria.
