The Health Risks ofGenetically Modified Foods

FDA declares GMOs no different“The agency is not aware of any
information showing that foods derived by these new methods differ
from other foods in any meaningful or uniform way.”
Food and Drug Administration
“Statement of Policy”May 29, 1992

GMOs are Inherently Unsafe
The GM process creates massive collateral damage in the plant, which can cause side-effects

Possible causes for increase allergies
More herbicide residues Increased soy allergen New potential allergen?
Digestion enzymes reduced Roundup Ready protein may be allergenic

“Animal studies indicate serious health risks … including infertility, immune dysregulation, accelerated aging, dysregulation of genes associated with cholesterol synthesis, insulin regulation, cell signaling, and protein formation, and changes in the liver, kidney, spleen and gastrointestinal system.”

Tipping point against rBGH September 2006, Boston Globe“Dairies are rushing to rid their bottled milk of artificial growth hormones. . . it could be a tipping point.”
October 2006, New York Times“It seems to be an explosion in the industry.”
Wal-Mart, Kroger, Starbucks, andabout 40 of the top 100 dairieshave rejected rBGH so far.
