Author Backs Into Exploration Of GMO Corn

Wikimedia Commons

Caitlin Shetterly certainly knew that GMO crops existed.  But she had not intended to write about them. 

Until her health, and her son's, began to suffer.  She says the health issues trace back to the consumption of GMO corn, which is nearly ubiquitous in the American food supply and extends to non-food products, too. 

Shetterly writes of her experience and her broader findings in her just-released book Modified.  The author gives us a glimpse into what she's been through, medically and journalistically.
