Conscious Cuisine Begins With Ingredients FREE of Genetically Modified Organisms!!

November 11, 2011 - [Southern California] Dietitian and Producer/Host of Healthy People Radio, Helene Berk, M.Ed., R.D., recently spent the day getting trained as a NON-GMO Activist by Jeffrey M. Smith in Los Angeles, California. Mr. Smith is founder of The Institute for Responsible Technology and author of "Seeds of Deception" and "Genetic Roulette". He was recently on Dr. Oz's television show and has presented in 32 different countries around the globeBerk's mission is to bring GMOs to the table on her weekly radio show, Healthy People Radio ~ on Friday Evenings, 7pm E.S.T. on Z Talk Radio

The dietitian admits to wearing blinders around this issue since her college days. Ms. Berk feels as if she was brainwashed into believing these companies knew what they were doing. In the mid-'80's, GMOs were presented to health professionals and considered safe by professors. It promised to promised to feed the world, but does nothing but harm everyone but Monsanto. Berk recently decided to join the NON-GMO movement because, "Personally, I hate being lied to", says Berk. "I hate that Monsanto falsified scientific studies in order to sneak this poison into our food supply. I hate that they smeared the reputation of any scientist who tried to warn the American public of the dangers of genetically modified organisms... and what they do to farmers, as seen in FOOD, INC." 

"Genetically Modified Organisms" or "GMOs" were introduced into our food supply by Monsanto. "The technology splices genes. DNA or genetic material of one species (e.g., bacteria, viruses, insects) is randomly injected into an entirely different species of plant or animal ...creating new kingdoms that did not exist before Monsanto started playing GOD... with our food supply", says Berk. Franken-foods were NEVER ACTUALLY PROVEN SAFE by the Food and Drug Administration. Instead, they are self-regulated by Monsanto, itself. In the mid-1990's, WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND WITH ZERO SAFETY STUDIES CONDUCTED BY THE FDA, Monsanto began adding GMOs to our food supply: corn, canola, soy, cottonseed ...and now sugar beets and alfalfa. The veteran health pro promises to learn more about how GMOs are destroying our World and share this information with anyone who will listen. 

The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) urges ALL PHYSICIANS TO ADVISE PATIENTS TO AVOID GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS. This group of physicians also alerted the public to other Monsanto products which proved deadly and were removed from the USA marketplace, including AGENT ORANGE & DDT ~ "There is more than a causal association between GM foods and adverse heatlh effects. GM foods pose a serious health risk in the areas of toxicology, allergy and immune function, reproductive health and metabolic, physiologic and genetic health" ~ The American Academy of Environmental Medicine ~ http://aaemonline.org/gmop ost.html 

Genetically Modified Organisms have been linked to the following: 

  • infertility
  • immune problems
  • diabetes / faulty insulin regulation
  • accelerated aging processes
  • changes in major organs
  • changes in the gastrointestinal system (GI)
  • allergies

LET'S OCCUPY OUR FOOD SUPPLY!!!! 

Helene Berk, M.Ed., R.D. states, "I feel it is my responsibility as a registered dietitian to raise the awareness of consumers to this 'white elephant' everyone seems to want to ignore". Let's take the reins back.... let's KNOW WHAT INGREDIENTS WE PUT INTO OUR MOUTHS!!!! It does not cost food manufacturers even one penny more, to request NON-GMO INGREDIENTS from their suppliers.  BUT, it is up to us... THE CONSUMERS...TO CREATE THIS TIPPING POINT. WE MUST DEMAND TO KNOW THE TRUTH!!!!!

For the past two years, Berk has focused on: 

  • "Conscious Cuisine" 

  • "Therapeutic Cuisine"

  • "Killers in the Kitchen"

...on her weekly radio show

She has focused, mostly on other important attributes of "Conscious Cuisine", which includes AVOIDING THESE INGREDIENTS: 

  • synthetic ingredients: 
    • including artificial colors [derived from the petrochemical industry]
    • synthetic preservatives
    • synthetic sweeteners
  • corn syrup / high-fructose corn syrup [YES, IT REALLY IS THAT BAD FOR YOU]
  • bleached over-processed sugars, including "brown sugar"
  • bleached, enriched refined flours
  • trans fats [i.e., look for "hydrogenated" & "partially hydrogenated" oils] 
  • hormones
  • antibiotics
  • MSG 

"We teach what we need most to learn. And, what I need most, right now, is to learn as much as I can about genetic engineering. We consumers can create a TIPPING POINT OF DEMAND so genetically modified organisms are recalled from our food supply!!!", says Berk. Healthy People Radio will keep it's focus on unveiling the kernels of truth behind this insidious industry. Tune into Healthy People Radio Friday evenings, 7:00 pm EST, 6:00pm Central, 5:00pm Mountain, 4:00pm Pacific.
