Genetic Roulette by Jeffrey M Smith

Genetic Roulette by Jeffrey M Smith

Eating genetically modified food is gambling with every bite.

The biotech industry's claim that genetically modified (GM) foods are safe is shattered in this groundbreaking book. Sixty-five health risks of the foods that Americans eat every day are presented in easy-to-read two-page spreads. The left page is designed for the quick scanning reader; it includes bullets, illustrations, and quotes. The right side offers fully referenced text, describing both research studies and theoretical risks. The second half of Genetic Roulette shows how safety assessments on GM crops are not competent to identify the health problems presented in the first half. It also exposes how industry research is rigged to avoid finding problems.

This book, prepared in with input by more than 30 scientists, is for anyone wanting to understand GM technology, to learn how to protect themselves, or to share their concerns with others. It is presented in the clear, accessible style that made Jeffrey Smith's Seeds of Deception the world's best-selling book on genetically engineered foods. As the world's most complete reference on the health risks of GM foods, Genetic Roulette is also ideal for schools and libraries.

Jeffrey M. Smith, author of Seeds of Deception and Genetic Roulette, is a New York Times bestselling author. Smith is a well-known advocate for the recognized health concerns of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), as well as how biotech businesses manipulate science, silence critics, hijack regulators, and make amazing unfulfilled promises. His Institute for Responsible Technology's Campaign for Healthy Eating in America aims to get GMOs out of the food chain by reaching a tipping point of consumer rejection. The campaign promotes public and private screenings of the Monsanto video, as well as providing resources at www.ResponsibleTechnology.org. He currently resides in Fairfield, Iowa.
