This paper was submitted to the Secretariat of the Commission for Environmental Cooperation of North America as part of the Article 13 initative on Maize and Biodiversity: the Effects of Transgenic Maize in Mexico. […] Arpad Pusztai stressed the need for a science-based protocol that assesses the safety or otherwise of GM foods. In particular, he described science that should have been done before GM crops and foods were commercialised. […] Extending from Arpad Pusztai’s talk, Stanley Ewen discusses the effect of GM potatoes on rat guts. While he believes that GM potatoes are fully carcinogenic, he cautioned that what we eat might have indirect effects. […] New studies show that Roundup, a common herbicide, can have harmful health effects. This has major consequences as the bulk of commercially planted GM crops are designed to tolerate Roundup with its active ingredient, glyphosate. […] New studies show that Roundup, a common herbicide, can have harmful health effects. This has major consequences as the bulk of commercially planted GM crops are designed to tolerate Roundup with its active ingredient, glyphosate, and independent field dat […] There are scientific and safety reasons to be very careful about genetic engineering. This article highlights some of the limitations and gaps of current safety assessment of the new biotechnologies and products. […] Drawing on nine years of US Dept of Agriculture data, Benbrook demonstrates unequivocally that in the first three years of commercial use, the claim of GM proponents was justified. But since 1999 it has not been. […] Arpad Pustzai warns against allowing the MON 863 GM maize to be licensed. […] Prof. Gilles-Eric Séralini of the University of Caen, analyses Monsanto’s study on MON863 GM maize. […] An analysis which debunks the benefits of Bt corn and concludes that there are more safer and viable alternatives for poor farmers in the Philippines. […] |
