Eating genetically modified food is gambling with every bite.
The biotech industry’s claim that genetically modified (GM) foods are safe is shattered in
this groundbreaking book. Nearly forty health risks of the foods that Americans eat every
day are presented in easy-to-read two-page spreads. The left page is designed for the
quick scanning reader; it includes bullets, illustrations, and quotes. The right side offers
fully referenced text, describing both research studies and theoretical risks. It is
presented in the clear, accessible style that made Jeffrey Smith’s Seeds of Deception the
world’s best-selling book on genetically engineered foods.
The second half of Genetic Roulette explores why children are most at risk, how to avoid
GM foods, false claims by biotech advocates, how industry research is rigged to avoid
finding problems, why GM crops are not needed to feed the world, the economic losses
associated with these crops, and more.
This book, prepared in collaboration with a team of international scientists, is for anyone
wanting to understand GM technology, to learn how to protect themselves, or to share
their concerns with others. As the world’s most complete reference on the health risks of
GM foods, Genetic Roulette is also ideal for schools and libraries. Consider some findings:
- Animals fed genetically modified (GM) foods developed bleeding stomachs, potentially
precancerous cell growth, damaged organs and immune systems, kidney inflammation,
problems with blood and liver cells, and unexplained deaths.
- Soy allergies skyrocketed in the United Kingdom after GM soy was introduced.
- Genes from GM crops transfer to human gut bacteria. This might transform our
intestinal flora into living pesticide factories.
