    Dangers of gmo based burger patty

    Creating “beef” patties out of a variety of plant-based ingredients, many of these companies have
    managed to create textures to real beef burgers. The Impossible Burger company is perhaps the most
    famous in this department, but the ingredient it uses to achieve its signature texture and appearance is
    heme, also known as soy leghemoglobin, or SLH. This particular ingredient just so happens to be made
    from genetically modified (GMO) soy, according to a new report from the Moms Across America
    website. The burger is also being exposed for its surprisingly high levels of one of the most controversial
    cancer-linked substances found on our food today: glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto/Bayer’s
    best-selling Roundup weedkiller.
