By now, many have at least heard the term GMO or Non-GMO.  You may wonder what this means.  GMO is an accronym for Genetically Modified Organism therefore Non-GMO would be a Non-Genetically Modified Organism.
 
So, what's the difference?  See what leading health professionals from all over are reporting:
1. From the American Academy of Environmental Medicine: Genetically Modified Foods
'According to the World Health Organization, Genetically Modified Organisms(GMOs) are "organisms in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in such a way that does not occur naturally." This technology is also referred to as "genetic engineering", "biotechnology" or "recombinant DNA technology" and consists of randomly inserting genetic fragments of DNA from one organism to another, usually from a different species.

For example, an artificial combination of genes that includes a gene to produce the pesticide Cry1Ab protein (commonly known as Bt toxin), originally found in Bacillus thuringiensis, is inserted in to the DNA of corn randomly. Both the location of the transferred gene sequence in the corn DNA and the consequences of the insertion differ with each insertion. The plant cells that have taken up the inserted gene are then grown in a lab using tissue culture and/or nutrient medium that allows them to develop into plants that are used to grow GM food crops...." (Click here to read the full report).
