Genetically Engineered Foods
May be Far More Harmful than
We Thought
By Jeffrey M. Smith
illions of people are looking for foods without
genetically modified organisms (GMOs); thou-
Msands of doctors are prescribing non-GMO diets;
and even celebrities like Danny DeVito, Bill Maher and Dick
van Dyke have chimed in with their demands that these prod-
ucts be labeled.
As the movement swells, proponents of GMOs have become more ag-
gressive at suppressing adverse data and promoting their myths, desperate
to stem the anti-GMO tide. They continue to proclaim that the technology
is precise, environmentally friendly, and needed to feed the world, in spite
of evidence that shows just the opposite. But what is working against them
more than anything else is the new data confirming that GMOs are dangerous
to our health. In fact the evidence is so compelling, genetically engineered
foods may soon be blamed for promoting a wide range of serious diseases
on the rise in the U.S. and elsewhere.
