We've heard about genetically modified foods, but what and how much do we really know about them. Take salmon as an example.
In order to reach the weight suitable for being exposed to the fish market faster, the scientists changed the genes of the salmon by adding those of the eel.
These genes enhance growth hormone throughout the year and the result is there, and after a negative time the fish become huge. In this way, the people who raise them, in addition to saving time, also save money on food and maintenance, while receiving twice as much income because they sell salmon much more often than they have in the past. They can afford to reduce its price, and it is an indisputable fact that the low price deceives more people.
However, when you buy something cheap in the first place you have to think about your health and then about the environment. This new method completely changes the natural selection on the farm. Do you think it is normal for corporate interests to take precedence over nature and human health? If you haven't thought about it, it's high time you did.
Naturally, those who benefit from the new species of fish are determined to convince us that there is nothing dangerous to our health and that it is not much different from ordinary salmon.
However, do you think that if GMO salmon becomes cheaper and you start consuming it more often, these artificial genes attached to it will not affect your body? Research is yet to be done on this issue, but if we ourselves prefer natural food, we can more or less insure ourselves.
The big companies claim that the new species of salmon they create will not affect the development of the remaining free-living salmon, but a recent study refutes this claim and shows that if only 60 genetically modified salmon are released at 60,000 the number of wild ones, after less than 40 generations of fish, the natural one will disappear completely.
Our advice is to buy more expensive and better quality products, although you consume them less often and in smaller quantities. Remember - the quality is important, not the quantity or in this case the real GMO.

European Scientists: Aspartame Is Safe
According to the European Food Regulatory Authority, the artificial sweetener aspartame is safe. Experts from the European Food Safety Authority came out with the opinion that the use of aspartame does not pose a danger to human health. Aspartame, known as E951, contains aspartic acid, phenylalanine and negligible amounts of methanol.

A new study of meat products offered on the Bulgarian market showed that one of the until recently considered traditional domestic products has nothing to do with its original recipe. This is beef sausage, in the production of which the producers not only do not use cow meat, but do not even use meat at all.
Genetically Modified Lecithin Is A Hidden Poison
Soy lyceum is one of the most common substances in chocolate products. More specifically, it is about genetically modified soy lecithin. Lecithin is extracted from soybeans and is labeled E322 when used in foods as an emulsifier. It is a complex organic compound belonging to the group of phospholipids.
