Beth H. Harrison, The Truth About GMO's.
"Genetically Engineered Food Quick Facts: No crops on the market today are genetically engineered to increase crop yield, resist drought, or reduce chemical fertilizer use. They haven't helped third world countries, they aren't feeding the world, and they haven't lowered food prices at all. GE food has never been proven safe for human consumption; scientists have no idea what it will do to people who eat it. There is a significant body of scientific evidence that has proven serious human health risks associated with it. As far as U.S. regulatory agencies are concerned, if a biotech company says its products are safe, that is enough for approval. Genetically engineered food is not labeled in the United States. At the same time, more than 40 countries have either banned GE food outright or have laws requiring the labeling of it giving citizens in those countries the freedom to choose not to eat it."
"The GOOD News?
You don’t have to eat GE food again. This book explores why and how you have been kept in the dark about GE foods and the risks, why these foods continue to go unlabeled, and outlines what foods to avoid and how to take action.
As a consumer, your dollars wield the most influence. Eating GE food contributes to multinational corporations that are interested in profits over your health."
