Guest guest Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Genetically modified strains have contaminated two-thirds of all crops in US By Geoffrey Lean, Environment Editor More than two-thirds of conventional crops in the United States are now contaminated with genetically modified material - dooming organic agriculture and posing a severe future risk to health - a new report concludes. Because of the contamination, the report says, farmers unwittingly plant billions of GM seeds a year, spreading genetic modification throughout US agriculture. This would be likely to lead to danger to health with the next generation of GM crops, bred to produce pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals - delivering "drug-laced cornflakes" to the breakfast table. The test found that at "the most conservative expression", half the maize and soyabeans and 83 per cent of the oilseed rape were contaminated with GM genes - just eight years after the modified varieties were first cultivated on a large scale in the US. http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/environment/story.jsp?story=498693 Peace - Anna "People do not like to think.
