“Industry scientists and government officials may claim that GMOs and Roundup and other pesticides are safe for us to consume,” says filmmaker Amy Hart, “but the people in our film have found that they are a recipe for disaster. When they went organic, which eliminates GMOs and pesticides, the results were dramatic.”
Filmmaker Jeffrey Smith points out that “Roundup is not only sprayed on most GMOs, it is now used to dry grains, beans, and other food crops that are not genetically engineered.” Smith, who has spoken on the health dangers of GMOs in 45 countries over two decades, warns, “Eating non-GMO food is no longer good enough; we must switch to organic to also avoid this dangerous chemical.”
In August, Monsanto lost a landmark case which proved that their Roundup caused the cancer of a school groundskeeper and that the company hid the health dangers from the public. This film alerts viewers to the reality that the entire population is exposed to this toxic pesticide through our food.
Experts in the film, such as NY Times bestselling author David Perlmutter, MD, point out that because Roundup’s active ingredient glyphosate is an antibiotic, it can wreak havoc on our microbiome - the bacteria in our bellies that controls many aspects of our health. The importance of the microbiome is on the cutting edge of medicine. If Roundup in our food is compromising our bacterial balance, it may be driving the rise of dozens of associated diseases. Dr. Perlmutter says in the film, “The science is sound. The science is there. You just have to look at it.”
Thousands of physicians are now prescribing non-GMO organic diets, and reporting dramatic improvements in numerous diseases. Several practitioners are featured in this film, verifying the results of numerous individuals and families who report improvements in everything from skin disorders to autism; cancer to infertility. The film makes it clear that switching to an organic diet may provide the key to resolving ongoing chronic health issues - and even losing a few pounds.
