Is there a non-gmo sugar beet ?
Yes. The old fashioned ones are still around. For the most part. It’s just that they’re not commercially grown anymore. And there’s no segregation of the sugar from them at the processing facility. So even if there are farmers still growing them, the sugar from them is mixed with the sugar from the gmo kind anyways. UNLESS it’s labeled non-GMO sugar.
For right now, ‘Cane Sugar’, is the only sugar commercially grown that IS reliably non-gmo.
For now. I’m sure they’re feverishly working on a gmo version right this very second. Slowly but surely all food groups are being converted into GMO. And WE are the long term studies on their safety. Seen a difference in the relative health of people since the early 90’s? Seen any more fat people? Depressed people? 20 somethings with fertility issues? Correlation? Who knows. No long term studies were done prior to the introduction of massive amounts of glyphosphate into the human food chain.
