can you guess america’s favorite

vegetable corn now it’s debatable

whether corn is an actual vegetable or

grain or actually a fruit if you look at

the different definitions of it but I

don’t think it’s a vegetable because

vegetables are like the Leafs and stems

of plants but regardless of that corn

has a couple issues with it number one

it’s pretty low in nutrients like if you

take a hundred grams of fresh corn it’s

four percent vitamin a six percent

vitamin C two percent iron and zero

percent calcium there’s just not a lot

of nutrients in corn and of course when

people are eating corn they’re not

usually eating fresh corn they’re doing

either corn chips or popcorn or

something made with corn starch but corn

is just in so many foods at the grocery

store now here’s the problem of corn

ninety-three percent of the corn grown

at least in the u.s. is GM oh and

there’s two different types that make up

GMO you have HT and BT HT would be

herbicide tolerant so if you grow corn

and you spray roundup ready which is

glyphosate on the corn it kills the

weeds but it doesn’t kill the corn

because the corn is resistant to the

herbicide now BT is slightly different

the actual corn kernel is insecticide so

when the insects eat it they die that’s

what’s making up this 90 percent of the

corn grown in the US and the majority of

this is fed to animals of course we then

eat the animals so we get it indirectly

now the other problem that I see is that

farmers that grow the corn actually get

paid to grow the corn so it’s very

profitable you can make high fructose

corn syrup corn oil and what really

shocked me is an average person in the

u.s. consumes a hundred and sixty pounds

of corn every single year I’m not

consuming any corn in my diet so some

people are obviously consuming a lot

more than 160 pounds and corn is the

most GMO food probably ranking close

with a soy both of those are very very

high in the list all right

talk about the difference between fact

and opinion a fact is something that is

based on evidence truthful information

an opinion may or may not be based on

evidence and it may not be truthful and

just because a lot of people tell you a

lie doesn’t make it a truth so if a

hundred people told you the same lie

would it be a truth what about a

thousand because when you do searches on

the Internet

you will see everywhere that GMOs are

considered safe in fact the FDA even

said that they’re confident that the

genetically engineered food is as safe

as it’s conventional counterpart well

this is an opinion and this is

definitely an opinion let’s go right to

the facts the World Health Organization

based on evidence stated that the

chemicals and GMO foods are a probable

carcinogen and there’s a couple of there

facts that you may not be aware of the

FDA does not do safety tests on GMO food

they said it’s the manufacturing

company’s responsibility to ensure

safety and here’s another fact that

length of time that these GMO foods were

tested on animals rats were only three

months this is not enough time to really

see the consequences of what these GMO

foods do to our bodies and the other

fascinating thing about the FDA is they

don’t require independent safety studies

and on top of that when you do the

safety study you don’t even have to send

them the entire complete study you can

send them a summary of the study amazing

but true alright so now that you know
