Spilling the Beans, May 2008
Institute For Responsible Technology

This month's newsletter is a downloadable report called
State-of-the-Science on the Health Risks of GM Foods.

The material describes the conflict of interest among regulators that allowed GMO foods on the market; the wide range of adverse findings from animal feeding studies such as higher death rates, organ damage, reproductive failures, and infant mortality; reports by farmers of thousands of sick, sterile, and dead livestock; toxic and allergic properties of GM foods; numerous scientific assumptions used as the basis for safety claims that have since proven false; inadequate regulatory oversight; biased industry safety studies; manipulation of public opinion; and the mistreatment of scientists critical of the technology.

The 28 pages include 5 pages of endnotes. Download or view this comprehensive report at http://www.seedsofdeception.com/DocumentFiles/145.pdf.
