Allergies, Nuts and GMOs - Allergies Increasing and Nutrition Decreasing
Allergies, Nuts and GMOs - Allergies Increasing and Nutrition Decreasing
Perhaps allergies are on the rise also because of processed food using GMOs – up to 70% of processed food contains a GM ingredient.
When I studied biotechnology law at Michigan State College of Law in a Global Food Law program, my professor mentioned GMOs potentially can disrupt the human body's cellular machinery.
Thankfully I only had one allergic reaction to tree nuts in my lifetime and that was Brazilian nuts (a nut I am quite fond of and have eaten many times before). The grocer I bought the Brazilian nuts from however had them (a less popular and less frequently purchased nut) in a container already shelled and thus exposed to the air ....whereby small white spots were appearing - mold and aflatoxins.
I had an allergic reaction that felt like I was going to stop breathing, scratch my eyes out and vomit all at the same time (while my eyes and ears tingled, throat burned and felt dry, I couldn't breathe, and simultaneously felt like I was going to throw up) ....all after eating 8 or more Brazilian nuts on the way home from a Queens, NY "organic" grocer who neglected to ensure proper food safety for stale nuts.
After recovering from the brutal experience, I did some research and found Cornell did a study on aflatoxins in nuts (also heavily found in corn), which in Brazilian nuts fed turkeys in the 1960s resulted in the death of 100,000 turkeys.

It seems today's food manufacturers and processing facilities often employ water to wet and weaken the shell of many nuts (Brazilian nuts more likely so since it is such a hard shell - likely the way God intended it to prevent mold in the humid rainforest of Brazil).
When food processors soak nuts in water to easily break, package, and sell they expose consumers to aflatoxins (via the ease of convenient consumption after exposure to the elements for a prolonged period of time).
Since many food plants processing nuts also process other staples, it is not surprising combined with the ubiquitous use of GMOs in the "food" supply and "king corn" (collecting in silos with aflatoxins) that allergies are on the rise.
So many drinks and "food" products have corn (and corn syrup) in them....and if corn is prone to mold again it is not surprising allergies are increasing in response to an increase of corn usage and aflatoxins therein.
Combine this with Bt pesticides, herbicides and God only knows what else is in GMOs and a recipe for disaster explains why the body's only defense is to mount an allergic reaction in an attempt to reject the foul and unwanted substances therein.
