Sea, What is GMO? :wave:
What are GMOs?
GMOs, or “genetically modified organisms,” are plants or animals that have been genetically engineered with DNA from bacteria, viruses or other plants and animals. These experimental combinations of genes from different species cannot occur in nature or in traditional crossbreeding.
Virtually all commercial GMOs are engineered to withstand direct application of herbicide and/or to produce an insecticide. Despite biotech industry promises, none of the GMO traits currently on the market offer increased yield, drought tolerance, enhanced nutrition, or any other consumer benefit.
Meanwhile, a growing body of evidence connects GMOs with health problems, environmental damage and violation of farmers’ and consumers’ rights.
Are GMOs safe?
Most developed nations do not consider GMOs to be safe. In more than 60 countries around the world, including Australia, Japan, and all of the countries in the European Union, there are significant restrictions or outright bans on the production and sale of GMOs.
In the U.S., the government has approved GMOs based on studies conducted by the same corporations that created them and profit from their sale. Increasingly, Americans are taking matters into their own hands and choosing to opt out of the GMO experiment. http://www.nongmoproject.org/learn-more/
Lois, Email Campbell's and ask. I email lots of companies, they will tell you if it's still a product, and many times I can either order straight from them, or they tell where it can be found.nthego:
hollydolly, your Broccoli and cheese soup sounds good! For the "home-made-soup-challenged" among us: there is also a lot of soup in those cans.I never eat canned soup...wayyy to acidic, and or salty ..yukk!!
I make soups a lot my favourite is Broccoli and stilton (cheese) soup...yuuuummmmmyyyyy..but I also love my mothers' classic Bacon, leek, carrot and lentil soup.I make it often in the winter .
For straight out of the can eating... my favorite soup is Progresso chickarina soup. As a child I really enjoyed Campbell's Scotch broth, but I haven't seen that available on any supermarket shelves in decades. I don't even know if they still make it.
I like Campbell's cream of celery soup as an ingredient when cooking. I use it when I make pork chops & noodles and also when I make a stew with sliced knockwurst, cabbage & carrots.

If you want to significantly lower your risk of developing cancer, consider
eating cabbage at least a few times a week. Cabbage belongs to the Cruciferous
family of vegetables - other vegetables that belong in this family include
broccoli, cauliflower, kale, collards, Brussels sprouts, Bok Choy, watercress,
and arugula.
Phytonutrients found in cabbage and other Cruciferous vegetables stimulate your
genes to increase production of enzymes that detoxify your cells, resulting in
elimination of free radicals, toxins, and potential carcinogens from your body.
If you do a search through the archives of peer-reviewed and indexed journals at
the National Library of Medicine, you'll find numerous studies that indicate
that people who eat large amounts of cruciferous vegetables have a
lower-than-average risk of developing lung, colon, breast, ovarian, prostate,
and bladder cancer.
Perhaps the most powerful, anti-cancer phytonutrient found in cabbage and other
cruciferous vegetables is indole-3-carbinole, a compound that stimulates
cellular detoxification, including estrogen detoxification. Indole-3-carbinole's
ability to prevent estrogen dominance is what makes cruciferous vegetables like
cabbage an excellent food choice for cancer prevention, particularly breast
cancer prevention.
If you want to enjoy the many health benefits of cabbage but don't know where to
start, give the following Cabbage-Miso soup a try. It's super easy to make, and
is one of the tastiest soups that we enjoy in our home.
Cabbage Miso Soup Recipe
6-8 servings
Ingredients:
4 cups (around 10 ounces) chopped green cabbage
6 cups water or vegetable broth (vegetable broth adds lots of flavor)
2 celery ribs, diagonally sliced
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 carrot, thinly sliced
8 garlic cloves, 4 finely chopped and 4 sliced
1/3 cup miso (or Korean den jang)
Few drops sesame oil per bowl(optional)
Directions:
1. Bring 6 cups of water or vegetable broth to a boil in a big soup pot. Add
cabbage, celery, onion, carrot, and sliced garlic. Cover, reduce to low-medium
heat, and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
2. Stir in chopped garlic, then turn off heat. Dissolve miso with some of hot
soup liquid in a cup or bowl, then pour it into the pot.
For an extra zing of
flavor, add a few drops of sesame oil to each bowl just before serving. If you
enjoy sweet and sour soups, add fresh lime juice (about 1 lime for the whole
pot) right before adding the miso.
Enjoy this nourishing cabbage and miso soup - it goes wonderfully with a bowl of
rice and kim chi, a fermented Korean cabbage dish.
