None!: There are no known health benefits of GMO foods. The foods currently approved have been engineered to produce their own pesticides or withstand massive doses of the herbicide Roundup but these traits are likely to make them more toxic rather than benefit health.

Question 10

what are the health benefits of brahmacharya?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: I'm not aware of any research on this subject & don't expect any to be done. The purported benefits of brahmacharya are more for spiritual than physical health, though better spiritual health might improve physical health. On the other hand, frequent ejaculation is associated with reduced risk of prostate cancer so celibacy might increase this risk!see http://www.Centeredyoga.Com/brahmacharya.Html.
