It also follows the highly-debated ruling by the World Health Organization that Monsanto\u2019s glyphosate-based Roundup is a \u2018probable carcinogen.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>But I also want to put it into perspective for you. If this announcement were to be made in the United States, for example, it would mean a total transformation of the food manufacturing industry. But in Russia, the integration of GMOs is not close to the same level as in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>We know that, in the United States, 90 plus percent of staple crops like corn are genetically modified, along with 94 percent of soybeans and 94 percent of cotton. A ban on GMOs in food production would radically change the entire food supply. In Russia, however, the country is much more poised for a GMO food revolution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cAccording to official statistics the share of GMO in the Russian food industry has declined from 12 percent to just 0.01 percent over the past 10 years, and currently there are just 57 registered food products containing GMO in the country. The law ordering obligatory state registration of GMO products that might contact with the environment will come into force in mid-2017.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"http:\/\/themindunleashed.org\/2016\/05\/russia-has-decided-to-ban-the-use-of-genetically-modified-ingredients-in-all-food-production.html\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Anthony Gucciardi is a natural health and human empowerment writer, speaker, and entrepreneur whose writings have appeared #1 in USA Today and Wall Street Journal Best-Selling books and top 100 websites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anthony Gucciardi of The Mind Unleashed writes: Russia has announced a game-changing move in the fight against Monsanto\u2019s GMOs, completely banning the use of genetically modified ingredients in any and all food production.
