  • 37 persons were killed and 1500 permanently disabled by a highly poisonous substance in a food supplement produced by genetically engineered bacteria. Our analysis based on new evidence concludes that generic engineering was the cause of the emergence of the toxin and not external impurities as formerly maintained. It is alarming that this poison would not have been detected if it had been submitted to present methods for GE-food ssfety analysis.

  • New! Defintely proven - Gene technology is inherently unsafe. Genes are not carriers of isolated properties. Therefore the transfer of single genes cannot yield intended results and is inherently unpredictable and hazardous. See recent NIH report:

  • New! Organic farming could feed the world. A large recent study at the University of Michigan confirms several other studies indicating that organic farming is at least as productive as conventional agriculture, and even better in the third world.

  • New! GE food agriculture for feeding the world increases the risk for mass starvation. Extreme weather due to Global Warming brings about a risk for failure of GE-crops because they tend to be more delicate than natural crops. Global oil shortage, predicted to occur within less than 10 years will hamper GE food production, which is heavily oil-dependent.

  • Cows ate genetically engineered (GE) maize and died.   The same kind of poison-producing gene is found in GE maize intended for human food.

  • Mass death of Sheep from grazing GE cotton field. The same deadly gene is found in GE Maize and GE potatoes intended for human food.

  • Over 50% of newborn rats died within 3 weeks from GE soya eaten by their mothers. The same kind of GE Soya is sold in food stores

  • Virus genes from GE food can enter your cells. Genes can survive digestion and can enter your cells. GE food contains hazardous genetic elements from disease viruses.

  • Genetically Engineered food damaged the liver. Genetically engineered soybeans of the same kind as soy in human food, caused damage to liver cells in mice.

  • GE soy may increase the allergy risk The inserted gene in the soy may cause long time allergy problems. In the UK a 50% increase occured in soy allergy when GE soy was introducied.

  • GE Maize approved as human food caused negative effects in mice
  • Non-Target effects underscore the hazardous unpredictability of genetic engineering

    Non-target effects are effects of genetic engineering that occur along with the specifially "desired effect", for example the production of Bt-toxin. They are totally unpredictable, are little understood and may occur anywhere in the organism and may have completely unforeseeable consequences to the organism and the environment. http://www.psrast.org/news.htm#nontarget">More

  • Animals Avoid GE Food.   It is wellknown that animals have a remarkable ability to sense what is harmful or inedible food.

  • FDA suppressed its own scientists' warnings about GE food.   The american Food and Drug Agency (FDA) publicly declared that GE foods are safe, suppressing experimental evidence indicating that GE food is harmful

  • Leading Scientist sacked after presidential intervention because of critisizing GE foods. A very revealing story about the political and scientist corruption behind biotechnology. Scientists who don't lie or suppress the truth, run the risk of loosing their jobs.

  • GE crops are causing agricultural crisis in Argentina. Over twenty thousand farmers lost their farms and were thrown into poverty and unemployment when GE crops were introduced.
