Dear Readers:

Have you gotten to listen in yet?
Today Dr. Vandana Shiva told us that when it comes to changing the gene pool with genetic engineering, the very future of life is on the line.

Andrew Kimbrell told us how the biotech industry is losing an arms race against super weeds. Genetically engineered herbicide resistant crops are sprayed with massive amounts of weed killers. But super weeds are developing their own resistance. Trying to fight back, new crops that are pending approval are resistant to 2-4D, an active ingredient in Agent Orange, which is known to cause cancer and birth defects. We are literally spraying our fields with ever-more toxic chemical weapons. And we’re losing the battle.

AllergyKids founder Robyn O’brien gave some chilling data on the surging rates of food allergies and chronic illness amongst our kids, and explained that this rapid and terrifying change has taken place in direct synchronicity with the spread of genetically engineered crops into our food supply.  Correlation is not causation, Robyn told us. But a correlation of this strength and magnitude warrants a very serious investigation. And without labeling of GMOs, there’s no liability, there’s no traceability, and there’s no accountability.

Much of what we heard today was disturbing, but also deeply inspiring. All three of our speakers gave us critical information, and they galvanized a call to informed positive action.

Coming up tomorrow, Saturday October 26th, we’ll start off hearing from Claire Robinson, who is one of the world’s foremost scientific experts on GMOs.

Then Dr. Michael Hansen, a leading scientific advisor for Consumers Union (publisher of Consumer Reports), will shatter the biotech industry’s oft-repeated myth that there is some sort of “scientific consensus” on the safety of GMOs. Dr. Hansen will tell you what many independent scientists really think about this controversial topic.

And finally, you’ll get to hear from Dr. Thierry Vrain, the former pro-biotech scientist whose own research led him to change his mind. After a career of being paid to tell the public that GMOs were safe, Dr. Vrain is blowing the cover on government collusion with the biotech industry and telling you what he really thinks now that he’s able to speak freely.
