Alarming facts about
genetically engineered foods

We suggest you read the list before looking into "More".


  • Animals have become seriously ill or died from Genetically Engineered (GE) foods,

    More1, More2

  • Hazardous genes from GE foods that you eat can become inserted into your own genes

    More,

  • Scientists are being harassed if they tell the truth about GMO hazards. Research on GMO hazards is being suppressed and negative research reports have been destroyed. Scientits who say GMO-foods are safe are lying out of fear of becoming unemployed and unable to get any new research job. Read the alarming stories.

    • More

  • Top researchers confirm that genetic engineering is inherently unsafe and unpredictable. It may therefore generate unexpected harmful substances in GE food

    • More,

  • An unexpected poison killed 37 persons eating a food supplement produced by GE bacteria. The poison was not discovered because careful search for unexpected harmful substances was not made.

    • More,

  • The present procedure for assesing the safety of GE foods is not designed to detect unexpected harmful substances. Therefore, such substances may be present in GE foods, soy and corn being the most common. Still, these foods are sold in most food stores in the US and in many other countries. In the US and Canada, they are not even labeled. It is a matter of time only before another poisining accident happens, in the worst case it could affect millions.

All the essential facts on a video

This is a revealing video interview about the GMOs issue. International best-selling author Jeffrey M Smith (Seeds of Deception, GMO Trilogy, and Genetic Roulette) speaks about the corruption of FDA and dishonest science that made it possible to launch GMOs in spite of warnings of FDAs own scientists. Also he covers all essential aspects about major risks including concrete examples of severe damage from GMOs.

What is genetic engineering?

Warning for disinformation at the internet. Corporations systematically misuse the internet for confusing people about issues and organizations that threaten their interests.

Synonyms

Genetically Engineered (GE) = Genetically Modified (GM) = Genetically Altered.

What foods are genetically engineered?

Many common foods are, including: Corn, Soy, Wheat, Canola, Tomato , Potato , Rice , Cantaloupe , Sugar beet - (all kinds of sugar) , Radicchio , Flax (linseed) , Papaya , Squash , Oilseed rape, Alfalfa.

All of these, and products made of them, including common infant feeds, may contain unexpected harmful substances.

And remember, in the US, the GE foods are not labeled.

Introduction to our website

In order to make it easy for you to rapidly get a good idea about the issue, we have created an introduction in steps with increasing amounts of detail at each step.

Step one

Our main conclusions at a glance

Commercial application of genetical engineering for production of foods cannot be scientifically justified and carries with it unpredictable and potentially serious consequences.

The reasons are as follows:

  • The knowledge about the genes and how they work is too incomplete to make it possible to predict and understand all consequences of genetic engineering.
  • The knowledge about the health safety of GE foods is seriously incomplete.
  • The knowledge about the environmental safety of GE organisms is seriously incomplete.
  • It has been scientifically established that unexpected effects can occur from genetic engineering that are hazardous to health and the surroundings.
  • Science has established that there is no need for GE organisms for feeding the world or solving nutritional deficiency problems.
  • Food biotechnology perpetuates environmentally unsustainable industrial agriculture. It is based on chemicals of various kinds that are demonstratedly harmful to health and to the environment.

    • Why GE foods should be banned immediately

    Considering that GE organisms are unsafe to eat and that they expose the environment to unpredictable and irreversible risks, they should be banned. It is not justified to take any risk at all in using them as there is no need for them to feed the world and because they perpetuate unsustainable agriculture that is harmful to health and to the environment.
