GMOs are everywhere — they are found in 80 percent of packaged foods in America and in over 90 percent of our soy and cotton. But what are they? This handy infographic delivers a nice overview of what is means to be “genetically modified” and which countries require labeling and which do not.

Thanks for the article
This seriously makes me want to go home to Australia. Why would the US and Canada want to be the only places in the world that are so lenient with GMO's? It terrifies me to think of what the people here are putting in their bodies.
thank you
GMO's- hum! Wonder if they could be the cause of increase in various cancers? Anybody seen any info?
Grazie per le informazioni.
I have recently discovered organic chickens (food) and you can really taste the difference.

Thanks for the info.
HERES THE REST OF THE LIST:
10. Partially hydrogenated oil - most European countries completely ban it or severely restrict it.
11. Iodine for use in disinfecting drinking water.
12. Many chemicals / preservatives like Titanium Dioxide (used to make food white or bright and in other products like toothpaste). See: Jelly Bean Jubilee with a Little Titanium Dioxide Mixed In
13. BHA and BHT (found in many frozen dinners, breakfast cereal and meat). See: A Serial Cereal Eater – At Least for the Last Few Weeks
