Of course, this tip works not only for plums but for just about any fruit or vegetable in the fresh produce section.

Nearly all of these foods are GM so it is wise to avoid them:

• Soy
• Corn
• Cottonseed
• Canola

It would also be wise to limit products made from these ingredients, such as vegetable oils, maltodextrin and high-fructose corn syrup. In fact, because corn and soy are so widely used in processed foods, at least 70 percent of the processed foods at your supermarket contain GM ingredients.

That’s seven out of every 10 products.

Other GMO products include:

• Some varieties of zucchini, crookneck squash, and papayas from Hawaii
• Milk containing rbGH
• Rennet (containing genetically modified enzymes) used to make hard cheeses
• Aspartame (NutraSweet)

• The environmental risks -- Scientists are concerned that GMOs will reduce biodiversity

It has already bee reduced drastically in rice. Other things I don't know yet.

Canola oil is not healthy in the first place. It is made from rape seed. When they tried to give rape seed to the hogs the hogs died.

Also aspartame is very dangerous to ingest.

I would never touch Rapeseed oil after a big scare we had in Spain years ago, where Rapeseed oil was sold as olive oil and a lot of people had their health affected. The trouble with GM products is that we all have to eat SOMETHING, so what can we eat if we don't want GM products?
