THIRD WORLD NETWORK BIOSAFETY INFORMATION SERVICE 

Dear Friends and Colleagues 

Re: Sources and Mechanisms of Health Risks from Genetically Modified Crops and Foods 

We are pleased to highlight the attached TWN Biosafety Briefing which identifies the sources of health risks that can potentially arise from GM foods as well as presents the increasing body of evidence that shows the disruptive effect of the GM transformation process and clear signs of toxicity in well-controlled animal feeding studies even of a short-term nature. 

This paper was presented at the Scientific Conference 2012 jointly organized by the European Network of Scientists for Social and Environmental Responsibility (ENSSER), Third World Network and Tara Foundation, ‘Advancing the Understanding of Biosafety: GMO Risk Assessment, Independent Biosafety Research and Holistic Analysis’, held on 28-29 September 2012 in Hyderabad, India, and was first published in the Conference Proceedings. 

With best wishes,
