Video Transcript: The Hidden Reasons for a non-GMO Diet
Jeffrey M. Smith: The good news is this. Actually its terrific news. People, when they stop eating GMOs, they get better from all sorts of diseases and disorders. And we interview them and we hear about it all the time. When I speak to a room full of say, 500 people, dozens and dozens of people will say, “Yes, I feel better and got better, symptoms went away when I switched to non-GMO foods.” And it’s completely predictable which categories of diseases and disorders get better.
The one that is far greater than anything else is gastrointestinal. And you have things like immune system problems like allergies and asthma and autoimmune disease, skin conditions, headaches, including migraine headaches. People lose weight when they stop eating GMOs. People who couldn’t lose weight before, many of them. We have mental problems like brain fog, depression, aggression, and we understand why that may be the case.
We understand why, for example, consuming Roundup might cause mental problems because the gut bacteria normally produces tryptophan and tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin, which is important for mood. And the tryptophan-producing metabolic pathways dismantle with Roundup. So if you’re cut short on serotonin you might have problems with depression.
You also might not feel full when you eat. When you get to a certain point it’s this tryptophan that kicks in and says “I’ve eaten enough.” Without that you can just continue to eat. It’s also a precursor to melatonin and so you may have problems with sleep as well.
So the gastrointestinal problems, immune system problems, reproductive disorders, organ damage, all these things that people are talking about getting better from when they get rid of GMOs, those are the same categories of diseases and disorders that afflict the lab animals fed GMOs. And it’s described in the review study by the American Academy of Environmental Medicine who said these animals are causally creating these disorders from eating GMOs and every doctor should prescribe non-GMO diets to their patients.
Thousands of doctors are telling their patients “don’t eat GMOs” and many are telling us that the patients are getting better from these same disorders and diseases.

This article was direct, short and to the point. What more can I say? Now that I know what GMO foods do to my system, from video, I’ve felt the difference when I stopped eating sertain foods inwhich I was not informed they were GMO’s. Now we shop from locally grown farmers certified organic, during the growing season. During the winter months we trust our employee grocery outlet for organic vegetables. This paticular outlet claims they don’t purchase anything outside the US. So far so good. More people need to be educated about GMO’s and what GMO foods do to thier health.
I agree we should not eat GMO products but unfortunately here in the Netherlands I don’t see any signs on products to let us know if they are GMO products or not. I try to avoid soybeans and maize products as I know they are suspect. I would appreciate a short explanation and list of products to watch out for.
Thank you for your amazing effort in this struggle for better health advice for the world.
Sincerely, Sheila de Koekkoek.
Love this video. Thank you and all those having the courage to expose the truth!
I have currently eliminated processed foods and sugars from my diet and have seen an amazing change in my health.
Thank you for this valued information Jeffrey and also to Jeff for the link! It could not be more true. I’ve experienced it first hand. Can’t believe I’m not hungry when I eat properly but it makes sense. If your body is processing Real food without having to deal with toxins, the body is more efficient and is being fed the nutrients it needs to function (boost its immune system, feed the organs, and heal itself). It’s still hard for me to fathom how we got to this place—fighting for food labeling, growing GMO food and trees, destroying our natural resources and essentially damaging our planet….Seems like a Lot of people have replaced their common sense with greed and lost their sense of respect for people other than themselves. They mustn’t have a conscience anymore.
Thanks, Ty. Here in Hawaii we are inundated with Monsanto and others who’ve taken over the land which are slowly disappearing.
People must work 2 or 3 jobs due to the high cost of living and lack of housing. The battle continues. Now the salmon. You are right about the “seaweed” or limu as we call it, Good stuff.
We continue to get the word out and eat healthy as much as possible. People are speaking out. More needs to be done.
Gov’t needs an overhaul. Much corruption, not surprising but disappointing.

I have been unstinting in my criticism of both GMO’s and the companies like Monsanto who spend a fortune squashing adverse news about them. To my mind the directors of these Big Ag companies and Big Pharma who are responsible for killing and maiming so many people should stand trial for crimes against humanity.
I have a proposal for a reality show about people eating GMO foods for 60 days straight but it has been under moderation ever since this webage appeared.
What difficult to understand as a consumer is what’s better if you only have the option of one or the other: Non-GMO or Organic? Today I was grocery shopping at Whole Foods and there were a couple of items, like some spices I was buying for example, that I had to choose between either NON-GMO or Certified Organic. I prefer to purchase when both are on the label, but in the instances when they are not…how do you decide??
Tarryn Kaye, certified organic food must be non-GMO. When you have a certified organic option and a non-GMO option for the same food, buy the less expensive one because they are both non-GMO.
I often wonder about the passivity of people, they should stand up for their rights Some ‘land of he free’ the US is The US is run by Big Pharma and Monsanto, I doubt it will ever change. Where does the government stand in all this, that corruption is allowed to rule. Also I pray that Ty never meets the fate natural doctors have, in the land of the free
moderation? the truth is he truth
All the work you do is great!!
Terry;
Thanks for your efforts to push back against companies like Monsanto. I agree 100% with your idea of punishment for Monsanto Corp.
I see that the moderator has apparently removed my original comment on this matter.
Lest someone should get the impression that I am being too critical of Christians, and ruffling feathers, I want to let you know that I myself am a Christian Minister of a small congregation.
If a Minister’s words do not at times strike at the conscience of the people, that Minister is NOT being as effective as he ought to be IMHO .
So that being said, here is my original comment……Again !
Ty,
This was a very informative short video on health and GMO’s. I will share it widely, and encourage others to do the same, get the word out there everyone !
As for Mon-Satan-O, it is , in my opinion, one of the MOST EVIL corporations on the planet.
I have been doing what I can for years now to expose and share this corporation’s evil deeds to any who will listen.
I even go to the extent of harassing our land lord about the fact that he owns Monsanto stock, calls himself Christian,
and is therefore part owner of that corporation , and as such a partaker in the evil done by that corporation.
If any who call themselves Christian, and own Monsanto stock for the purpose of profit, you are guilty of and responsible for any evil done by the company that you co-own through your stock ownership……..think about that folks !!
It is beyond hypocrisy to complain about GMO food or a corporation such as Mon-Satan-O and their destruction, when you are a co-owner of the purveyor of that evil.
Think long and hard about whether you really want to be held accountable for profiteering from the death and destruction of others, including your own children! …….IMHO……..Rick
