Coincidence? Or something more sinister at work (GMOs)?
In 2010, the United States, by far the country with the biggest healthcare expenditure number in the world, was ranked 178th in the world for infant mortality rates, with 6.14 deaths per 1,000 births.
In 2011, a Canadian study found that Toxins implanted into GM food crops to kill pests are reaching the bloodstreams of women and unborn babies; Toxins were found in 93% of pregnant women's blood samples and 80% of umbilical cords.
Low birth weight has also been on the rise in America and is a precursor to early deaths, mimicking results of tests done on lab animals fed GMOs (see graph: http://mchb.hrsa.gov/chusa11/hstat/hsi/downloads/images/201lbwLmre.gif). African American children are particularly at risk with a staggering 13.6% born at low birth weights in 2009.
All happenings, great and small, are parables whereby God speaks. The art of life is to get the message.
