Bayer-Monsanto, Syngenta, and BASF are among the chemical giants known to be developing the microbes which, according to the report, are fundamentally different from the already controversial genetically modified organisms (GMOs) that have existed for decades. GE (genetically engineered) microbes are living organisms that share their genetic material easily with other species and travel vast distances in the wind. And because they are microscopic, their numbers are vast. Introducing GE microbes into agriculture represents an “unprecedented open-air genetic experiment,” the Friends of the Earth report says. Scientists understand the role and function of less than 1% of the billions of existing species of microbes or “biologicals.” Yet the race is on by biotech and agrochemical companies to develop, modify, and patent new microbes to capture a share of the biological market, which is set to triple in value to $29.31 billion by 2029. At least two GE microbes are already being used by U.S. farmers on millions of acres of farmland.

(Make sure to regularly stretch your hips if you spend a lot of time sitting.)

Selenium can help prevent cell damage in our bodies, vitamin D helps with cell growth, and vitamin B6 helps our bodies form red blood cells.
