Listen Later

Show Notes: 
Are you paying extra for foods labeled "non-GMO" without knowing what it actually means? In this episode of Wake Up and Read the Labels, Jen Smiley exposes the seven real GMO crops and how food companies use misleading marketing to make their products seem healthier than they are. From non-GMO salt (which doesn’t even exist!) to deceptive claims on bread, juice, and cereal, Jen reveals the food industry’s tricks and how to truly avoid GMOs for better health.

Plus, learn why autoimmune diseases and inflammation are skyrocketing, and how GMOs may be playing a role. If you’re tired of being misled at the grocery store, this episode is a must-listen!

 

 

Key Takeaways:
  • There are only seven GMO crops: Corn, soybean, canola, sugar beets, alfalfa, cotton, and potatoes—plus some papaya, pink pineapple, and summer squash.
  • Non-GMO labels are often misleading: There’s no such thing as non-GMO salt, wheat, oats, dairy, or oranges, but companies use this label to charge more.
  • GMOs contribute to inflammation and autoimmune diseases: Many processed foods made from GMO corn, soy, and sugar beets can damage gut health and trigger immune responses.
  • The government subsidizes unhealthy ingredients: Grains, seed oils, sugar, and dairy products are mass-produced because they’re cheap, not because they’re healthy.
  • How to actually avoid GMOs: Buy organic, shop the perimeter of the store, and check ingredient lists—not just marketing claims.
  • Use the Read the Labels app: Scan foods at the grocery store to instantly see if they contain sneaky inflammatory ingredients.
  • 🎧 Tune in now and learn how to truly read the labels!
