This popular oil could protect you from DNA damage caused by GMOs, researchers say

By Nick Meyer 

(Alt Health Works) Genetically modified foods are easier to avoid in some countries that others, but the genetic contamination in the United States is so high right now that the odds say you’ll be consuming at least a small percentage of GMO material even if you always buy organic.

Soybeans and soy products are particularly high risk items since the vast majority of soy in the U.S. is genetically modified to withstand heavy doses of health-damaging agrochemicals, but there may be a way to protect damage from GMO soybeans according to a new study from a team of researchers in the UK, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

According to the study, the always-popular extra virgin olive oil may reduce DNA damage caused by consuming genetically modified soybean products.
