Nutrition News Releases CSI_Health Crimes: GMOs
What You Don’t Know About Eating Genetically Modified Foods Can Hurt You!
Nationally recognized, award winning publication Nutrition News introduces their new series CSI_Health Crimes, with a FREE special report: GMOs: What You Don’t Know About Eating Genetically Modified Foods Can Hurt You.
Riverside, CA – October 29, 2010 – Consumers risk more tricks than treats this Halloween. Genetically modified foods have infected the human species and are proliferating without scientific scrutiny says publisher Gurumantra Khalsa.
We’re Being Experimented On Against Our Will. If any other food or drug yielded similar scientific results, it would be banned. Yet 60% – 70% of all processed foods Americans eat contain GM foods, and there’s no way for consumers to know if the food they eat is GM Free or not because the foods are not labeled.
Our CSI_Health Crimes series is designed to start a conversation about reclaiming your optimal health and well being. If you’re playing the “Is It Healthy?” Game, then you need to know and agree about the rules of the game. Without disclosure, you put yourself in peril. Get your copy here.
We’re calling for everybody to download, read, and share this report. We urge all of you to begin asking at your restaurants and markets about GM foods. Do they know what GM foods are? Do they use them in their restaurants? Do they sell them in their markets? Asking is one way to raise awareness. Get your copy here.

The US is mobilizing against GMOs!
Have you caught the non-GMO buzz lately? GMOs are being blogged about, tweeted about, reported on, and talked about more than ever before. There were rallies all over the US in March, more rallies scheduled, and the topic is catching fire. A food executive at the recent natural products expo said, “This feels like the time we’ve been waiting for.” An activist at a recent festival said, “I am so amazed at how much people want to know about GMOs—our table was bombarded! I feel like we’re at a turning point. I hope you do too.” Read the Blog
In Praise of the Non-GMO Project
There’s been some high voltage opinions darting about the blogosphere about the Non-GMO Project, which is the new third-party verifying organization for companies making Non-GMO claims. I have been watching and working with this organization for many years and I want to weigh in. I have unqualified support of the mission, tactics, and integrity of the organization. In fact, last year we made the requirement that for any product to be listed as non-GMO in our Non-GMO Shopping Guide or iPhone app ShopNoGMO, it had to be enrolled in the Non-GMO Project.

New study confirms organ damage in GMO-fed animals.
A review of 19 mice and rat studies using GM soy and corn show significant disruptions in the liver and kidneys, with other organs also affected. The study was conducted by a team of French scientists, led by Professor Gilles-Eric Séralini. He had earlier this year won a liable lawsuit against another scientist who tried to publicly condemn Séralini over his earlier studies of GMO health dangers. As part of the lawsuit, Jeffrey Smith submitted a document to the French court that showed how attacks on scientists by biotech advocates have become commonplace, and how they have successfully limited the amount of safety research that takes place. Congratulations to Professor Séralini for fighting back and winning. His latest study is summarized here. The court document submitted by Jeffrey Smith is found here. |

Californians can save the day (or at least the salmon)!
Please act now to prompt California legislators to pass Assembly bill AB88, which requires all genetically engineered salmon sold in California to be clearly labeled. Sign the Petition and send to your California contacts.
Alfalfa: Plan B
MILLIONS of us are angry and outraged at the approval of GM alfalfa. And on top of that, the USDA also did an end-run around the courts to keep GM sugar beets growing, AND approved a GM corn used for ethanol. Before I propose a way forward, I want to share a victory you may have missed in the first paragraph. I said MILLIONS! Read more and send a letter to the top food companies urging them to reject GM alfalfa (and other GMOs), and join the nearly 10,000 people who have already raised their voices! |
