A French court has found that fraud and defamation were employed to discredit a study linking GMOs to cancer in rats. Dr. Gilles-Éric Séralini, a French molecular biologist who studies the health effects of GMOs, recently won two court cases against those who had sought to ruin his reputation after he published a study that […]
We must stop this attempt to create a new and potentially even bigger monopoly. Action Alert! Monsanto recently reached a deal with Deere & Co. that could dramatically alter the US agricultural market, and not for the better. John Deere, the world’s largest producer of agricultural machinery, agreed to purchase Monsanto’s Precision Planting LLC equipment […]
This would be a behind-the-scenes move by Sen. Stabenow. We also discuss GMO corruption of journalists, “Frankenfish” approval, a new Chinese cloning facility, and EPA corruption. Action Alerts! Rider Will Thwart State GMO Laws The House of Representatives has approved the so-called “Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2015,” otherwise known as the “Deny […]
Proponents of genetically engineered (GE) crops maintain the dogmatic stance on two issues: that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are safe, and that the science is “settled.” Actual scientific research, however, tells a vastly different story. The use of GE crops has led to a drastic increase in the use of glyphosate and other pesticides. On […]
The FDA is currently taking comments on rules related to use of the word “natural” on food labels. One issue they are considering is whether to label GMOs as natural. Huh?
The FDA may think so. Action Alert! Last week, the FDA announced that it would be accepting public input on how—or whether—to define the term “natural” on food labels. This action came about as a result of a number of petitions filed by the Grocery Manufacturer’s Association (GMA) and Consumers Union. The GMA asked the […]
New research shows that lice in at least twenty-five states have become resistant to conventional, over-the-counter medications, just as kids go back to school this fall. When the first lice treatment doesn’t work, parents are shampooing their children again and again. This is particularly dangerous considering how toxic the conventional treatments for head lice can […]
Unfortunately, the information you get from either group may be paid for by Monsanto. Action Alert! Major news outlets reported this week that emails released through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests prove for certain what many of us already knew: Monsanto has enlisted “independent” scientists to deliver their messaging for them, in an effort […]
The biotech industry says, “Trust us, GMO are perfectly safe!” But let’s look at the evidence: Most studies on GMOs have been conducted by the same biotech companies selling them.
