About this product

Product Information

Without knowing it, Americans eat genetically modified (GM) food everyday. While the food and chemical industries claim that GMO food is safe, a considerable amount of evidence shows otherwise. In Seeds of Deception , Jeffrey Smith, a former executive with the leading independent laboratory testing for GM presence in foods, documents these serious health dangers and explains how corporate influence and government collusion have been used to cover them up. The stories Smith presents read like a mystery novel. Scientists are offered bribes or threatened; evidence is stolen; data withheld or distorted. Government scientists who complain are stripped of responsibilities or fired. The FDA even withheld information from congress after a GM food supplement killed nearly a hundred people and permanently disabled thousands. While Smith was employed by the laboratory he was not allowed to speak on the health dangers or the cover-up. No longer bound by this agreement, Smith now reveals what he knows in this groundbreaking expos . Today, food companies sell GM foods that have not undergone safety studies. FDA scientists opposed this, but White House and industry pressure prevailed and the agency's final policy--co-authored by a former Monsanto attorney--denied the risks. The scientists' concerns were made public only after a lawsuit forced the agency to turn over internal documents. Dan Glickman, former Secretary of Agriculture, describes the government's pro-biotech mindset: You felt like you were almost an alien, disloyal, by trying to present an open-minded view. . . . So I pretty much spouted the rhetoric. . . . It was written into my speeches. In Seeds of Deception Smith offers easy-to-understand descriptions of genetic engineering and explains why it can result in serious health problems. This well-documented, pivotal work will show you how to protect yourself and your family.

Publishers Weekly- Recent news headlines have focused on the disagreement between the U.S. and Europe over genetically modified foods: the U.S. exports them, but the European Union doesn't want to import them, believing their safety remains unproven. Are genetically modified foods safe? Longtime anti-GM foods campaigner Smith presents the "opposing" case. He offers cases where GM produced results that were at best unexpected (increased starch content in potatoes), at worst grotesque (pigs without genitals). He describes how one corporation reportedly tried to bribe Canadian government scientists into approving genetically engineered bovine growth hormones they deemed unsafe; how some scientists have reported their careers were threatened as a result of their refusal to approve certain GM products in the U.S.; and how "conflicts of interest, sloppy science, and industry influence" can distort the approval process. The cases Smith presents are scary and timely, but he explores only one side of the story. Readers looking for a balance consideration of genetically modified foods will want to look elsewhere.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title., "This book, which is the best written on the subject, is essential reading for food activists and concerned consumers."--Ronnie Cummins, National Director of the Organic Consumer's Association, "Jeffrey Smith masterfully combines the art of storytelling and investigative reporting. The result is riveting, enlightening, and disturbing."--Jennifer Read Hawthorne, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul, "The revelations in this powerful expos could spark the revolution that the topic [of genetically engineered foods] deserves."--Hunter Lovins, co-author of Natural Capitalism, "The revelations in this powerful exposé could spark the revolution that the topic [of genetically engineered foods deserves."--Hunter Lovins, co-author of Natural Capitalism, "The revelations in this powerful expos could spark the revolution that the topic [of genetically engineered foods deserves."--Hunter Lovins, co-author of Natural Capitalism

*TRUTH*
I have heard numerous stories about genetically modified food and it wasn't until I performed a little science project that made me research GMO, Monsanto and genetically altered food. People will try to tell you this is a "conspiracy" and it's not truth. I ask you to perform your own science projects at home and see what "truth" comes from it. It all started when I bought lettuce from a local grocery. I forgot about it and realized a month later, that it was still "good". This was when I chose to start a science project. Another month passed by and my lettuce was still good and crisp with no signs of decay at all. It wasn't until 2.5 months LATER, that I threw the lettuce away and with LITTLE signs of decay and no smell of decay. That's pretty FRIGHTENING! If you don't agree with that, think about where lettuce comes from and how long it usually would last. A week maybe? Now, think about this lettuce and what it might do within your body. Scary. This book gives facts which will scare you and anger you. Jeffrey Smith shows you what Monsanto Corporation WON'T TELL YOU! He proves that our government is involved and doing nothing to help the American people. If you care about your future life and the lives of the ones you love, buy this book, read it and spread the seed of truth. "The first reaction to truth is hatred" "The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is” Winston Churchill "Only the suppressed word is dangerous" Ludwig BörneRead full review
