Could GM foods be responsible for record low birth rate in the U.S.?

cornA new study revealed that the birth rate in the United States has hit a record low since 1920, most drastically among immigrant women, particularly Mexican immigrant women among whom, the reduction was up to 25%.

The possible cause for this birth rate decline has not been ascertained, but researchers and media outlets have all sorts of explanations or excuses including recession and use of contraceptives for the sharply reduced birth rate.

One possibility that no one wanted to make it public is that the low birth rate may have something to do with the genetically modified foods, in this case, corn. (Remember that this is a speculation, not based on solid scientific evidence, at least not yet.)

Here is why.

Mexican immigrants are a major part of the immigrant population ( President Obama knows this better than any other person in the U.S.) and Mexicans eat more corn products like corn-based tortilla chips than men and women in any other ethical group. T he corn in the U.S. is largely genetically modified. That is, it is likely that Mexican men and women eat more genetically modified corn than men and women in other
ethical groups.

Could genetically modified foods lower the birth rate? According to Jeffrey Smith, genetically modified foods have been linked to reduced infertility and he said the lower birth rate was due likely at least partially to consumption of the GM foods. T he evidence is that the birth rate started to decline sharply when GM foods were introduced into the market.

Smith is one of the most knowledgeable in the world about the safety of genetically modified foods. In one of his newsletters, he cited Michael McNeill, an agronomist who owns Ag Advisory Ltd in Algona, Iowa as saying that higher incidence of infertility and early-term abortion in cattle and hogs fed on GM crops.

McNeill was also cited as saying that poultry fed on the suspect crops are showing reduced fertility rates as well.

Months ago, Russian and French studies, circulated over the Internet, have claimed that GM soy reduced fertility and rats on a GM soybean diet nearly died out after three generations.

Could men and women eat GM foods like corn, soybean, canola and some Hawaii papaya and many others reduce infertility or birth rate? Could anything better explain the record low birth rate in the U.S., particularly among Mexican immigrant women who eat lots of corn?

Another interesting observation is that Asian people use a lot of soybeans, so soybean as a crop has been genetically modified. Mexican people use a lot of corn, so corn has been genetically modified. White people use a lot of wheat, could it be genetically modified in the future? Could there be a political conspiracy going on - eradicating the Asians and Mexicans and others?
