- A former research scientist who once touted the benefits of GM crops now acknowledges the steady flow of research showing that there is significant reason for concern – and he has now reversed his position
- Federal departments in charge of food safety in the US and Canada have not conducted tests to affirm the alleged safety of GM crops
- The whole paradigm of the genetic engineering technology is based on a misunderstanding, as it operates on the 70-year-old “one gene, one protein” hypothesis, which has since been proven false
- Scientific evidence shows that many of the industry claims that GM crops yield better and more nutritious food, save on the use of pesticides, have no environmental impact whatsoever and are perfectly safe to eat are simply not true
- At present, the only way to avoid GM foods is to ditch processed foods from your grocery list, and revert back to whole foods grown according to organic standards
