The gene of genetically modified foods can be transferred into human blood/DNA researchers say
A recent study published by Public Library of Science (PLOS), researchers have discovered compelling evidence that the DNA of genetically modified foods could enter human’s blood circulation and result in many health problems. According to researchers, the blood samples of more than 1000 participants were collected and “the results indicated that meal-derived DNA fragments (which were large enough to carry complete genes) can avoid degradation and through an unknown mechanism enter the human circulation system” ...
Eating organic foods can reduce the level of pesticides by 89% researchers say
According to a study published in the Journal of Environmental Research, participants who ate 80% organic diet had 89% less pesticide residue in their urine compared to those who ate conventionally grown food.

In this study, the pesticide level in the urine of those who ate conventionally grown food is a representative of pesticide levels in the urine of millions of people who eat foods laced with high levels of pesticides and GMOs ...
