If you’re still eating genetically modified (GM) soybeans and you plan on having kids, a Brazilian study may make you think again about what you put in your mouth. Female rats fed GM soy for 15 months showed significant changes in their uterus and reproductive...
You may have heard that genetically modified (GM) foods are safe, properly tested, and necessary to feed a hungry world. UNTRUE! Genetically modified organisms (GMOs), introduced into our food supply in the mid-1990s, are one of history’s most dangerous...
In response to growing public concern about the safety of the food supply and GMOs, natural food retailers nationwide will launch the first-ever non-GMO month in October. The intent of the campaign is to promote consumers’ right to choose food and products...
Excerpted from Jeffrey M. Smith’s Genetic Roulette : The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods “Swapping genes between organisms can produce unknown toxic effects and allergies that are most likely to affect children.” -- Vyvyan Howard...
by Jeffrey Smith Arpad Pusztai Biologist Arpad Pusztai had more than 300 articles and 12 books to his credit and was the world’s top expert in his field. But when he accidentally discovered that genetically modified (GM) foods are dangerous, he became...

Canada has declared that organic food and cloned animals are mutually exclusive; any products derived from cloned animals won't carry the country's new organic logo. The restriction will be introduced under a sweeping set of revised national guidelines...
A long-term study of genetically modified organisms recently found that a widely used strain of GM corn decreases both the birthrates and the size of offspring in mice, and that the problems seem to grow with each generation. Less than two weeks after...
Some European researchers are arguing that the location of small open-air trials of GM crops should be kept secret. They claim that vandalism of GM crop trials is holding back research. Current legislation in Europe requires the exact location of GM crop...
