Is
Your Food Safe?
What the biotech industry doesn't want you to know...
This
explosive exposé 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 harrassed, stripped of responsibilities,
or fired.
- Laboratory
rats fed a GM crop developed stomach lesions and seven of the forty
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
the actual internal memos by FDA scientists warning of toxins, allergies,
and new diseases—all ignored by their superiors, including a former
attorney for Monsanto. Discover how industry studies are designed to
avoid finding problems. Learn why the FDA withheld information from
Congress after a genetically modified supplement killed nearly a hundred
people and disabled thousands.
Eating
such experimental food is gambling with your health. Find out how you
can protect yourself and your family.
"Outrageous!
That's what you'll say over and over again when you read how the biotechnology
companies have manipulated the government, our food, and the media,
and put an entire generation at risk. Notions of independence and integrity
in the nation's food regulatory agencies are shattered in this well-documented,
captivating book."

"Genetically
engineered foods are born of shortsighted thinking and disrespect for
natural systems. Seeds of Deception shows how distortions, omissions,
and cover-ups are used to prop up this bad idea. The revelations in
this powerful exposé could spark the revolution that this topic
deserves."
