Genetically modified life forms harm human health. FDA approval opened the floodgates. Doing so "set the stage for the rapid deployment of the new technology," said Smith.
Agribusiness took full advantage. Millions of acres were planted. Hundreds of millions eat toxic foods and ingredients.
Consumer objections are ignored. Responsible legislation and regulations are avoided. Agribusiness giants do what they please.
Industry studies are substandard. They're bad science. Researchers cook the books. They publish false findings.
US regulatory agencies don't "investigate the impacts of GM food on gut function, liver function, kidney function, the immune system, endocrine system, blood composition, allergic response, effects on the unborn, the potential to cause cancer, or impacts on gut bacteria," says Smith.Independent studies are different. They show GMOs produce disturbing DNA changes. Their natural functioning is impaired.
"Native genes can be mutated, deleted, permanently turned off or on," says Smith.
Inserted genes "can become truncated, fragmented, mixed with other genes, inverted or multiplied, and the GM protein it produces may have unintended (harmful) characteristics."
When transgenes function in cells, they produce unnatural proteins. Independent scientific testing proves it.
