Genetically Modified Food: A Short Guide for the Confused

Andy Rees

Published 9th October 2006

'Rees unmasks the biotech industry's horrific tactics in their race to

take over our food supply and the devastation that their GM crops will

inflict if we don't act quickly.' Jeffrey M. Smith, best-selling author

Seeds of Deception

 

'Gives a great boost to all public-spirited citizens who want to get

their facts straight. ...Highly recommended!' Dr Arpad Pusztai, the

world's leading expert on plant lectins

 

Is the food on our shelves free of genetically engineered ingredients?

 

- In the US, although they may not know it, most people already eat

genetically modified food.

 

- Since the introduction of GM foods seven years ago, food-derived

illnesses in the US have doubled.

 

- In the UK foods are contaminated with GM material through the 1

million tonnes of GM maize and soy used to feed livestock.

 

So far the major corporations have met resistance in Europe but their

worldwide influence is huge - and grows all the time. GM foods are

increasingly prevalent despite NEVER having been tested on humans.

 

Are genetically modified crops dangerous to the environment and to our

bodies? In this brilliantly readable guide Andy Rees provides the

answers.

 

Andy Rees is the author of The Pocket Green Book: The Environmental

Crisis in a Nutshell (1991) and former editor of GM Watch's Weekly Watch.
