How to tell if your food is GMO

Ever wondered how to tell if you're eating genetically modified food?  According to the "Natural Society," website,

    Reading the labels:

  • Conventional Fruit Labels: Begin with the number 4, and never begin with the number 9.
  • Genetically Modified Fruit Labels: Begin with the number 8. Note that it begins with 8, not just contains the number 8. This is often a 5 digit number.
  • Organic Fruit Labels: These fruit labels always contain 5 digits, and begin with the number 9. Always check and make sure, as some “organic” products have been known to be deceptively labeled.

There are so many things we need to be concerned about as consumers and eating GMO foods will definitely hinder our health.  GMO's have been linked to numerous health issues, including reproductive health.  So, next time you think cheaper is better, think again...your health will depend upon it.
