GMOs

Corporate Malfeasance v. Public Health, Part 1
November 20, 2018
Spotlight on glyphosate and GMOs with Carey Gillam, author of "Whitewash: The Story of a Weed Killer, Cancer, and the Corruption of Science." Gillam is an investigative journalist whose passion for the truth led her to disturbing conclusions about the herbicide glyphosate, widely used on “Round-Up Ready” crops. It’s maker Monsanto—now Bayer—is facing multiple lawsuits by plaintiffs claiming Roundup caused their cancers. Particularly disturbing are cases of rare aggressive variants of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma among agricultural workers. Gillam found herself vilified and delegitimized after calling out the dangers of glyphosate; the agribusiness industry has powerful allies in government, the media, in regulatory agencies and has infiltrated academic circles. How pervasive is glyphosate in our environment, in our food supply, in our bloodstreams, even in breast milk? What potential effects does glyphosate have on the nervous system, on fertility, and on the microbiome? Why might children be more vulnerable? How does it affect soil quality? Is the threatened demise of the Monarch butterfly attributable to glyphosate? How has glyphosate use brought about the unintended consequence of more use of other dangerous herbicides? What can be done to minimize exposure? Click HERE for part 2.

GMO Hazards, Part 1
August 20, 2015
In light of a this week’s startling opinion piece in the New England Journal of Medicine calling for labeling of GMOs and further research on their potentially toxic effects, we invite outspoken GMO critic, Dr. Stephanie Seneff, to weigh in on GMO hazards: What is glyphosate, and could its use be related to a dramatic uptick in autism cases? Is glyphosate an endocrine-disruptor? Could it be a carcinogen? Does glyphosate undermine the microbiome, leading to nutritional deficiencies, neurotransmitter imbalances, and metabolic derangements favoring obesity? Does Bt from GMO crops damage the intestine? Could GMO crops be linked to the increase in celiac disease and gluten intolerance? How do GMOs act synergistically with statins to undermine health? Click HERE for part 2.
