Tips for Avoiding Beverages That are packed With GMO's

The good news is, since papaya is the only whole fruit that is genetically engineered, most juices are made from GE-free fruit. On the other hand, the prevalence of corn-based sweeteners in fruit juices is cause for concern. Similary many sodas are primarily comprised of water and corn syrup – there is a high probability that these drinks contain genetically engineered ingredients.

QUICK HINTS-CONVENTIONAL

• Look for 100-percent juice blends )except thos containing papaya juice).
• Buy beverages sweetened with sugar rather than corn syrup or aspartame.
• Keep an eye out for corn syrup and high-fructose corn syrup in children's drink mixes, juice boxes, and drink pouches.
• Unsweetened drinks and products sweetened with fruit, cane juice, cane sugar, honey, or other non-corn ingredients are safe.
• Tart juices like cranberry or grapefruit most likely contain a sweetener, while juices made from naturally sweet fruits such as apples or oranges are easier to find unsweetened.
• Beverages labeled "natural" are not guaranteed to be GE free.
