The Truth About GMOs

I've stumble across this useful resource and I would like to share it with you all. This book is a real eye-opener!

"SHEDDING LIGHT ON GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOOD"
"WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE FOOD YOU ARE EATING
AND WHAT YOU CAN DO TO PROTECT YOURSELF"
By Beth H. Harrison, PhD

GMO Quick Facts:
  • No crops on the market today are genetically engineered to increase crop yield, resist drought, or reduce chemical fertiliser use. They haven't helped third world countries, they aren't feeding the world, and they haven't lowered food prices at all.
  • GE food has never been proven safe for human consumption; scientists have no idea what it will do to people who eat it. There is a significant body of scientific evidence that has proven serious human health risks associated with it.
  • As far as U.S. regulatory agencies are concerned, if a biotech company says its products are safe, that is enough for approval.
  • Genetically engineered food is not labeled in the United States. At the same time, more than 40 countries have either banned GE food outright or have laws requiring the labeling of it—giving citizens in those countries the freedom to choose not to eat it.
