The new book from international best selling author Jeffrey Smith, Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods, is a food safety siren for legislators and consumers. Genetic Roulette traces the deadly shortcomings of FDA oversight in meticulous detail; and according to dozens of experts, Genetic Roulette is full of enough data, studies and evidence to finally push through a ban on genetically engineered (GE) food by Congress. Nearly 65 health risks from the foods that Americans eat every day are presented in easy to follow two-page spreads. Perhaps the most alarming fact presented is the evidence which shows lab-manipulated GE genes may exist for years in human gut bacteria DNA. Genetic Roulette was prepared in collaboration with a team of international scientists. Many of these scientists helped consumers fight back against genetic engineering in Europe. This book is for anyone wanting to understand GE technology, and learn how to shop to protect themselves. Children are the most at risk from genetic engineering, and support for immediate food safety action has come from all directions. "Unlabeled GMOs in our food works against what I have learned in my 30 years as a family farmer. Agriculture should be sustainable, food should be healthy and safe, and people deserve to know what they're eating." says United States Senator, Jon Tester. Claire Robinson from GM Watch states, "Smith has to be the best science communicator alive today, and this book (Genetic Roulette) stands as the final word on GM health risks. It's the definitive answer to those who don't know, those who don't want to know, and those who know but don't want anyone else to know.".
Author Jeffrey Smith is the founder of the Institute for Responsible Technology. His mission is to promote the responsible use
of technology and stop GE foods and crops through grassroots and national strategies. For more information on his work, go to: permanent link to this entry |
