We believe in supporting our organic farmers and farmers who strongly support Non Genetically Modified crops. We use good, old-fashioned, Non-GMO, earth grown soybeans for our soy candles and soy products.
Our soy wax has been tested and is free of any
genetically modified material, petroleum, paraffin, and pesticids.
Why Choose
"Non-Genetically Modified"
Waxes
More and more doctors are already prescribing GM-free diets. Dr. Amy Dean, a Michigan internal medicine specialist, and board member of AAEM says, “I strongly recommend patients eat strictly non-genetically modified foods.” Ohio allergist Dr. John Boyles says “I used to test for soy allergies all the time, but now that soy is genetically engineered, it is so dangerous that I tell people never to eat it.”
So, if you should not eat genetically modified foods, including Soy,
should you breath it in or wear it on your skin?
A huge animal lover, I do not condone animal testing in any shape or form. Therefore, none of my final products are ever tested on animals. The tests below, performed by others, were conducted on Genetically Modified foods and show why I do not and will not use GMO soybeans for my soy candles or body products. My soy has been guaranteed to be NON GMO by the manufacturer.
Among the population, biologist David Schubert of the Salk Institute warns that “children are the most likely to be adversely effected by toxins and other dietary problems” related to GM foods. He says without adequate studies, the children become “the experimental animals.”
The experience of actual GM-fed experimental animals is scary. When GM soy was fed to female rats, most of their babies died within three weeks—compared to a 10% death rate among the control group fed natural soy.
The Genetically Modified - fed babies were smaller, and later had problems getting pregnant.
When male rats were fed GM soy, their testicles actually changed color—from the normal pink to dark blue.
Mice fed GM soy had altered young sperm.
Even the embryos of GM fed parent mice had significant changes in their DNA.
Mice fed GM corn in an Austrian government study had fewer babies, which were also smaller than normal.
