People seem to think that Europeans don't have exposure to GMOs or glyphosate, therefore their health statistics could be used as a control for comparison to the U.S. Such is not the case.
It is true that some European countries have banned thegrowing of all GMO crops (Bulgaria, Italy & Switzerland).Some European countries have banned the growingof some GMO crops (Germany--ban on cultivation of maize MON 810, Austria--ban on cultivation of maize MON 810, MON 863 and T25, Hungary-- ban on cultivation of maize MON 810 & BASF potato, Luxembourg-- ban on cultivation of maize MON 810 & BASF potato, France--ban on cultivation of maize MON 810, Greece--ban on cultivation of maize MON 810). It is true that most European countries require labelling of food containing GMOs (not including animals and animal products where the animals were fed GMO feed).
This is not the same as being GMO-free, as is commonly assumed here in the U.S.
