Headlines
These headlines are excerpts from our News Page, that you will find by passing the introductory steps. (These steps are for rapidly giving you a good idea of our conclusions and for helping you to navigate effectively among the over 3 hundred pages of the website)
The details found under "More" are likewise excerpts of the articles in the New Page.
- 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.
More
- 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.
More
- 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:
More
- 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.
For more, see our News Page (see first paragraph above).
- Cows ate genetically engineered (GE) maize and died.   The same kind of poison-producing gene is found in GE maize intended for human food.
More
- 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.  
More
- 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  
More
- 37 persons were killed and 1500 permanently disabled by a highly poisonous substance in a food supplement produced by genetically engineered bacteria.
More
- 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.
More
- 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.  
More
- 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.
More.
- GE Maize approved as human food caused negative effects in mice
- Animals Avoid GE Food.   It is wellknown that animals have a remarkable ability to sense what is harmful or inedible food.
More
- 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
More
- 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.
More
- 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.
