Spilling the Beans newsletter:State-of-the-Science on the Health Risks of GM Foo

[Guest guest]

Spilling the Beans, May 2008

 

This month’s newsletter is a downloadable report called

State-of-the-Science on the Health Risks of GM Foods.

The material describes the conflict of interest among regulators that

allowed GMO foods on the market; the wide range of adverse findings from animal

feeding studies such as higher death rates, organ damage, reproductive

failures,

and infant mortality; reports by farmers of thousands of sick, sterile, and

dead livestock; toxic and allergic properties of GM foods; numerous

scientific assumptions used as the basis for safety claims that have since

proven

false; inadequate regulatory oversight; biased industry safety studies;

manipulation of public opinion; and the mistreatment of scientists critical of

the

technology.

The 28 pages include 5 pages of endnotes. Download or view this
