Bt Toxin

     The number of suicides among Indian cotton farmers now tops more than 300,000. A large percentage of these suicides are associated with bankruptcy as a result of planting GMO cotton. The crops fail when there is a lack of rainfall.
     GMO cotton can also kill livestock. Crops are genetically modified for two purposes. Firstly, so they can survive applications of Roundup or glyphosate which is discussed above. Secondly, crops are genetically engineered with pesticides like Bt toxin in every cell of the plant. As shown in the video below, ingestion of large quantities of Bt toxin is harmful to animals and probably to humans as well. Those with health problems should avoid GMO crops.
