I would like to share an amazing summary of Documented Health Risks of GMOs.
The talking points are organized around the 65 main point summaries presented on the left side of the two-page spreads in Part 1 of Genetic Roulette. Each section linked below offers the opportunity for people to submit updates, corrections, challenges and responses. Before making a submittal, please review the full content in that section of the book. Contents at a Glance: Part 1: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods Section 1: Evidence of reactions in animals and humans. Section 2: Gene insertion disrupts the DNA and can create unpredictable health problems. Section 3: The protein produced by the inserted gene may create problems. Section 4: The foreign protein may be different than what is intended. Section 5: Transfer of genes to gut bacteria, internal organs, or viruses. Section 6: GM crops may increase environmental toxins and bioaccumulate toxins in the food chain. Section 7: Other types of GM foods carry risks. Section 8: Risks are greater for children and newborns.

Thanks so much for posting this. I'm finally getting around to planting a garden... which is funny given the name of my site.
I read this a few days ago prior to going to the garden shop yesterday. Thanks goodness I did, I made sure I bought heirloom seeds, this post scared the crap out of me. Worked all day today to till the soil with some top soil, compost and peat moss. Cheers.
Best regards,
Zach
