The Massive Fraud Behind GMOs Exposed
by COLIN TODHUNTER
This is not what the GMO industry wanted to see: banner headlines today in major newspapers and across the internet exposing the fraud behind GMOs. But this constitutes much more than a PR nightmare. The story behind the headlines shakes the very foundations upon which the industry is built.
Altered Genes, Twisted Truth is a new book by the US public interest lawyer Steve Druker. The book is the result of more than 15 years of intensive research and investigation by Druker, who initiated a lawsuit against the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that forced it to divulge its files on GM foods. Those files revealed that GM foods first achieved commercialisation in 1992 but only because the FDA covered up the extensive warnings of its own scientists about their dangers, lied about the facts and then violated federal food safety law by permitting these foods to be marketed without having been proven safe through standard testing.alteredgenes
If the FDA had heeded its own experts advice and publicly acknowledged their warnings that GM foods entailed higher risks than their conventional counterparts, Druker says that the GM food venture would have imploded and never gained traction anywhere.
He also argues that that many well-placed scientists have repeatedly issued misleading statements about GM foods, and so have leading scientific institutions such as the US National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the UKs Royal Society.

Somehow, you don't care about that at all, but you'll defend scam science to the end.
Ethics matter, even if you don't believe they do.
Thanks, Judi Lynn. This is definitely one to pick up.

Because he got his "credentials" the same way Jeffrey Smith did, by going to the Maharishi Yogi "university" unaccredited diploma mill.
