Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies About the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You're Eating


This is a book everyone should read as far as I'm concerned. I'll read you the back cover...

"Is your food safe? What the biotech industry doesn't want you to know... This explosive expose reveals how industry manipulation and political collusion - not sound science - allow dangerous genetically engineered food into your daily diet. Company research is rigged, alarming evidence of health dangers is covered up, and intense political pressure applied.

Chapters read like adventure stories:

-Scientists were offered bribes or threatened. Evidence was stolen. Data was omitted or distorted.
-Government employees who complained were stripped of responsibilities, or fired.
-Laboratory rats fed GM crop developed stomach lesions and seven of the fourty died within two weeks. The crop was approved without further tests.
-When a top scientist tried to alert the public about his alarming discoveries, he lost his job and was silenced with threats of a lawsuit."

Read it for yourself. A book by Jefferey M. Smith.
