Hi Drs.
Yes I have Acromegaly and am curious if consuming GMO foods can increase HGH levels and exasperate this Disease?

And Am curious if GMO food can give rise to more cases of Gigantisms and Acromegaly?

Respectfully,
Randi Levin

  I don't think there is any evidence that GMO foods can increase HGH levels or cause acromegaly. We don't actually know what causes a GH secreting adenoma to form in the pituitary, although it is now known that in a very tiny number of cases, the condition seems to be hereditary.
