Dangerous Toxins From Genetically Modified Plants Found in Women and Fetuses
Jeffrey Smith reports that doctors at Sherbrooke University Hospital in Quebec detected Bt toxin from genetically modified corn in the blood of 93 percent of 30 pregnant women, 80 percent of their babies' umbilical blood and 67 percent of 39 non-pregnant women, prompting calls for a GM crop ban.

GMO Foods Pose Higher Risks for Children
The piece argues children face the greatest risk from GM foods, citing feeding studies in which young rats showed damaged immune and digestive function, smaller organs and potentially pre-cancerous intestinal cell growth after 10 days, and noting children are three to four times more allergy-prone.

GMO - What can you do about it?
An advocacy piece arguing GMOs are dangerous, citing animal studies of immune, insulin and organ damage and the American Academy of Environmental Medicine's advice that patients avoid GM foods. It asks readers to buy non-GMO and press stores, as consumer pressure did with rbGH milk.
GMO
Genetically modified foods…….. Are they safe?
The article collects the American Academy of Environmental Medicine's case against GM food along with animal reports of livestock deaths, smaller litters, organ lesions and reproductive failure, and notes that no human clinical trials of GM foods have been conducted.

19 Studies Link GMO Foods to Organ Disruption
A review of 19 feeding studies found blood and urine biochemistry and organ weights significantly disrupted in rats and mice fed GM food, with male kidneys accounting for 43.5 percent of changes and female livers over 30 percent. The varieties tested make up 83 percent of commercialized GMOs.

Cap the Gene Spill
Jeffrey Smith introduces a two-minute video directed by advertising veteran Alex Bogusky arguing that genes from genetically modified crops self-propagate and permanently alter the gene pool, and asks readers to donate to the Institute for Responsible Technology.

GMOs Linked to Organ Disruption in 19 Studies
Reviewing 19 animal feeding studies, Gilles-Eric Séralini and colleagues report that 9 percent of measured parameters differed significantly in rats and mice fed GM corn or soy, with male kidneys and female livers most affected. The paper ran in Environmental Sciences Europe.

Alfalfa Plan B
An organizer answers USDA's approval of genetically modified alfalfa, along with its moves on GM sugar beets and ethanol corn, arguing that the millions now voicing anger mark real progress and an opening to press harder.

Please Stop Dangerous Attacks on ALL Independent GMO Researchers
Jeffrey Smith's submission to the French courts supporting Professor Seralini argues that denial, distortion and harassment of independent GMO researchers have been institutionalized, citing Nature on partisan attacks and Ignacio Chapela's account of being denigrated by Monsanto's PR firm.

Scientists Vigorously Objected to This Food - Are You Eating It?
Mercola interviews Philip Bereano, a University of Washington professor emeritus and anti-GMO activist, who argues that in academic usage safe means only an acceptable level of risk, and that no valid risk assessments or real health research have been done on engineered foods.

Alfalfa Plan B
Angry at the USDA's approval of GM alfalfa, sugar beets and ethanol corn, the writer argues the scale of the backlash is itself a win and proposes Plan B: use collective buying power to press food companies directly rather than fight more court battles.

This Could Threaten the Future of Food – Destroying the Entire Food Chain…
Dr. Mercola cites the Institute for Responsible Technology and plant pathologist Don Huber, who says glyphosate does not kill plants directly but weakens their defenses and activates soil pathogens; Huber reports more than 40 crop diseases increasing with its use.

Genetically modified chickens could stop bird flu epidemic
Cambridge and Edinburgh researchers report in Science that chickens engineered to make a decoy molecule mimicking part of the flu genome still became sick when infected with avian flu but did not pass the virus to other birds. The chickens are meant for research, not for eating.
