The American Academy of Environmental Medicine states, "ically Modified foods have not been properly tested and pose a serious health risk. There is more than a casual association between GM foods and adverse health effects. There is causation."
 
Last May the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) called on "Physicians to educate their patients, the munity, and the public to avoid GM (ically modified) foods when possible and provide educational materials concerning GM foods and health risks." They called for a moratorium on GM foods, long-term independent studies, and labeling.
 
AAEM's position paper stated, "Several animal studies indicate serious health risks associated with GM food," including infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, insulin regulation, and changes in ans and the gastrointestinal system. They conclude, "There is more than a casual association between GM foods and adverse health effects. There is causation,"
as defined by recognized scientific criteria. "The strength of association and consistency between GM foods and disease is confirmed in several animal studies."
 
More and more doctors are already prescribing GM-free diets. Dr. Amy Dean, a Michigan internal medicine specialist, and board member of AAEM says, "I strongly mend patients eat strictly non-ically modified foods." Ohio allergist Dr. John Boyles says "I used to test for soy allergies all the time, but now that soy is ically engineered, it is so dangerous that I tell people never to eat it."
 
Dr. Jennifer Armstrong, President of AAEM, says, "Physicians are probably seeing the effects in their patients, but need to know how to ask the right questions." World renowned biologist Pushpa M. Bhargava goes one step further. After reviewing more than 600 scientific journals, he concludes that ically anisms (GMOs) are a major contributor to the sharply deteriorating health of Americ
