one protein found in natural

There is at least one protein found in natural soybeans that is cross-reactive with peanut allergies. This means that consuming soybeans may trigger a reaction for some of those people who are allergic to peanuts. Although it is possible that side effects from genetic engineered soybeans may increase the occurrence of cross-reactivity, it is unlikely that any research has been done to investigate this. Genetically engineered soy was introduced into the United States food supply in late 1996. This leaves us only to wonder whether this had an influence on the doubling of peanut allergies that has occurred from the years 1997 to 2002.
The introduction of genetically engineered foods into our diet was done quietly and without the mandatory labeling that is required in most of the other industrialized countries. Without knowing that GM foods might increase the risk of allergies and without knowing which foods contain GM ingredients, the biotech industry is gambling with our health for their own profit. However, this risk is not lost on everyone as millions of shoppers are now seeking foods that are free from any GM ingredients.
Organic foods are not allowed to contain GM ingredients. By buying products that are certified organic or that say non-GMO are two ways to limit the risk of consuming GM foods. Another way to avoid those products containing ingredients from the seven food crops that have been genetically engineered: soy, corn, cottonseed, canola, Hawaiian papaya, and a little bit of zucchini and squash. This also means avoiding soy lecithin in chocolate, corn syrup in candies, and cottonseed or canola oil in snack foods.
Thanks to the Campaign for Healthier Eating in America, your shopping will soon be made easier. This Consumer Non-GMO Education Campaign is making an effort to clean out GM ingredients from foods and the natural products industry. This campaign hopes to circulate helpful non-GMO shopping guides to organic and natural food stores nationwide, providing consumers with regular GM food safety updates that explain the discoveries about GMOs.
