In recent years, growing evidence has suggested that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) may present significant health risks rather than the agricultural solutions they were marketed to provide. From increased rates of hypertension to links with cancer, the implications of consuming genetically engineered foods deserve greater scrutiny.
The Hidden Agenda Behind GMOs
For decades, certain influential individuals have promoted the idea that Earth’s population needs drastic reduction. Under the guise of addressing resource distribution, climate change, and food security, genetically modified foods have been introduced into global agricultural systems with concerning consequences.

Proponents of population control, including some prominent figures, have openly discussed the need to limit human numbers. Meanwhile, corporations and regulatory agencies have pushed genetically engineered crops into food systems worldwide, particularly in developing nations.
As Prince Philip once controversially stated: “In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation.”
What Are GMOs and Where Are They Found?
Genetically modified organisms are plants, animals, or microbes whose DNA has been artificially altered through genetic engineering. This process allows for the transfer of genes between unrelated species, creating organisms that would never naturally exist.
The most common GMO crops include:

- Corn (maize)
- Soy
- Cotton
- Canola
According to the Center for Food Safety, approximately 92% of corn grown in the United States is genetically engineered. These modified ingredients have infiltrated nearly every aspect of our food supply:
Corn-based products are found in an astonishing array of items:
- Processed foods (cookies, cereals, soups)
- Beverages (soda, beer, wine)
- Condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise)
- Meat (from corn-fed animals)
- Non-food items (plastics, cleaners, makeup, pharmaceuticals)
Today, an estimated 75% of products in grocery stores contain genetically modified ingredients, making them nearly impossible to avoid without careful attention.

Health Concerns: The Silent Crisis
Hypertension and Heart Disease
One of the most alarming connections researchers have discovered is between GMO consumption and hypertension (high blood pressure), particularly in African American communities.
Studies published in the Journal of the American Heart Association reveal:
- 75% of African American men and women are likely to develop high blood pressure by age 55
- Compared to 55% of white men and 40% of white women
Research from the National Institute of Health found higher consumption of corn was associated with an increased risk of hypertension. With African Americans consuming significant amounts of corn-based products, and most American corn being genetically modified, this correlation raises serious questions.
Cancer and Toxicity Concerns
Perhaps the most troubling aspect of GMO crops is the built-in pesticides they contain. Monsanto’s genetically engineered corn produces Bt toxin inside each kernel, designed to kill insects that attempt to eat the crop. When humans consume this corn, they ingest this pesticide as well.

Glyphosate, a herbicide commonly used with GMO crops, has faced increasing scrutiny for potential links to cancer. In 2015, a representative from a major agricultural company famously refused to drink glyphosate when challenged during an interview, despite claiming it was safe enough to “drink a whole quart.”
Long-term studies on GMO consumption have shown disturbing results, with one landmark 2012 study revealing serious health impacts in test subjects.
Other Health Impacts
Beyond hypertension and cancer concerns, GMO consumption has been linked to:
- Digestive issues: BT corn has been shown to poke holes in human cells, potentially contributing to leaky gut syndrome
- Hormonal disruption: GMO soy contains phytoestrogens that can mimic estrogen in the body
- Early puberty: Some reports indicate girls as young as seven experiencing menstrual cycles
- Neurological problems: Rising rates of autism, dementia, and other cognitive issues
- Allergies: Especially in children exposed to GMO ingredients from infancy
The Double Standard: Global South Exploitation
While regulatory bodies in Western nations have imposed certain restrictions on GMO products, developing countries often face different standards. This troubling pattern appears across both food and pharmaceutical industries.
For example, Nestlé, the world’s largest consumer goods company, has been found to add significant sugar to baby foods sold in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, while the same products in Western markets contain no added sugar.
A Swiss investigation found:
- Ceralac wheat-based cereal for six-month-olds contained 6 grams of added sugar in Thailand
- 5.2 grams in Ethiopia
- 4 grams in South Africa
- Zero added sugar in Germany and UK versions of the identical product
Similarly, pharmaceutical products distributed in developing nations have been found to be substandard, with dangerous levels of toxicity discovered in children’s medicine.
How to Protect Yourself and Your Family
With the prevalence of GMO ingredients in the food supply, protecting yourself requires vigilance:
- Choose organic whenever possible: Organic certification prohibits GMO ingredients
- Read labels carefully: Look for “Non-GMO Project Verified” labels
- Avoid processed foods: Most contain corn, soy, or other common GMO ingredients
- Grow your own food: When possible, use organic, heirloom seeds
- Support local farmers: Small-scale farmers often use traditional, non-GMO methods
- Stay informed: Research continues to emerge about GMO health impacts
The Path Forward: Demanding Transparency
As awareness grows about the potential dangers of GMO foods, consumers are demanding greater transparency and accountability from both corporations and regulatory agencies. Many countries now require GMO labeling, though the United States has lagged behind in this area.
The evidence suggests that genetically modified foods may represent one of the most concerning public health experiments in human history, conducted without proper testing or informed consent from the populations consuming these products.
By staying informed and making conscious choices about the food we consume, we can protect our health and advocate for safer, more sustainable food systems globally.
The words of a South African farmer who witnessed dramatic health improvements in both his livestock and workers after switching to non-GMO corn should serve as a powerful reminder: our food choices matter, and the consequences of consuming genetically modified organisms may be far more serious than we’ve been led to believe.
