According to latest news, the Frito-Lay Corporation sells deadly processed foods made with GMO corn and the active ingredient from Monsanto’s weed killer which has been scientifically associated with different health issues like kidney failure and hormone disruption.
Frito Lay’s SunChips Tested
These tests showed that the company’s popular product known as SunChips is made with GMO Bt-corn which produces its own insecticide inside the plant’s cells and it cannot be washed off. This corn is everything but food; however, it is regulated by the FDA.
Moreover, studies done with animals have shown that this corn leads to major shifts in the blood cells and has been linked to kidney and liver problems too. The proteins in this corn (supposedly they break down in the digestive tract) have been discovered in the blood of pregnant and non-pregnant women!
In addition to this harmful corn, the product also contains high amounts of glyphosate, an active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup weed killer. They found 0.14 mg per kg! This substance has been associated with endocrine system damage and it can harm the kidneys and the other organs as well. It is also detrimental for the gut microbiota and reduces its ability to assimilate nutrients and to keep the immunity strong.
False Claims, Poisoned Youth
Unfortunately, this product is marketed as a healthy, whole-grain snack which is low on saturated fat and cholesterol; and, the company is among the main advocates of GMO foods, many of which are aimed at children! Nonetheless, these foods are full of chemicals in form of pesticide and herbicide residues.
