Over 300 independent researchers, physicians, and scholars—none of whom has financial interests in GM—signed a statement published in Environmental Sciences Europe that there is no consensus that GMOs are safe. Studies done by independent researchers show that GM food is not safe when fed to animals day in and day out. The animals get cancer, […]
Genetic modification is being done on hybrid plants that already lack genetic diversity. Living things need genetic diversity to adapt to a changing environment. Widespread planting of relatively few GM crops in place of different types of crops decreases diversity, and increases the chance of crop failure. The Irish potato famine is a lesson in […]
The US government may have determined that GMOs are safe, but government scientists haven’t. Reports indicate that government bureaucrats are silencing government scientists if their data conflicts with the government’s position that GMOs are safe (reports: 1, 2, 3, and 4). At least one lawsuit has been filed on behalf of USDA employees who have […]
The FDA has no process for testing the safety and nutritional content of GE food. It relies on data from the companies themselves. GE crops have abnormalities in amino acids, vitamins and fatty acids (more: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5). But the FDA is signing off on them anyway. The FDA doesn’t approve or […]
Monsanto, Syngenta, and other multinational biotech corporations own all GE seeds. In order to have a crop, farmers must buy these “inventions” from companies at prices they set, in amounts they make available. They must sign agreements to run their farming operations according to the rules of multinational corporations. GM seeds effectively turn over ownership […]
One of the most popular arguments for GE crops is that they reduce the amount of pesticides farmers have to use. The graph below shows the use of weed killer by conventional farmers (top line) and GE farmers (bottom line). “HT” stands for “herbicide tolerant,” e.g., corn that withstands weed killer). The use of weed […]
The number one reason farmers buy GE seeds is to get higher yields. But according to the USDA, Over the first 15 years of commercial use, GE seeds have not been shown to increase yield potentials of the varieties. In fact, the yields of herbicide-tolerant or insect-resistant seeds may be occasionally lower than the yields of […]
Oxytocin is often used when needed to improve intimacy. Research shows oxytocin can help control obesity, type 2 diabetes, prevent and reverse osteoporosis, rebuild and maintain muscle mass, reduce chronic pain, and regenerate neurons. Should oxytocin be used daily as part of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)? Oxytocin is often described as the “hug hormone,” […]

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), hugely funded by vaccine makers, calls for a police-state approach to vaccination. Action Alerts! Last month, the Academy, in a report titled “Countering Vaccine Hesitancy,” called for the elimination of all non-medical exemptions to vaccinations, including religious exemptions, on the model of California. Released alongside this report was another report, also from the […]
