World’s largest ever study on GMO and pesticide safety: London public launch
Factor GMO, 23 October 2014
You are officially invited to attend the "Factor GMO" press conference at The Farmers Club in London on November 11th 2014 at 2:30 PM
Media Advisory
The $ 25 million "Factor GMO" study will investigate the health effects of a genetically modified (GMO) crop that has been in our food and animal feed supplies for many years. It will answer the question: Is this GMO food, and associated pesticide, safe for human health?
Farmers, retailers, governments, scientists, and consumers have been involved in a heated international debate since GM foods were introduced in 1994. However, there has never been a scientific study that is comprehensive enough to give them a clear answer regarding the safety for human health of any one GM food – until now.
The international "Factor GMO" study will be the largest and most comprehensive long-term experiment ever conducted on a GM food and its associated pesticide.
The scientists involved in "Factor GMO" come from a "neutral" background. They have no connection to the biotech industry or the anti-GMO movement, a factor that will add credibility to the results.
The scientists on the study review board are internationally respected experts in their fields from the U.S., Italy, and Russia.
"Factor GMO" will also add valuable data of unprecedented power to enable regulators, governments and the general public of every country to answer the question: Is the GM food, and associated pesticide, tested safe at real-world levels of consumption and exposure?
"Factor GMO" is the first long-term combined GMO/pesticide safety study that has involved full multi-generational, toxicology, and carcinogenicity arms.
