Two Oregon farmers are defending a local ordinance in federal court in a campaign to protect their harvests and create a zone free of genetically engineered crops.

More than 130 research projects, covering a period of more than 25 years of research,and involving more than 500 independent research groups, is that biotechnology, and in particular GMOs, are not more risky than conventional plant breeding technologies.

Monsanto’s RoundUp-Ready GMO Grass About to Be Approved and Fed to Cattle

By Christina Sarich

Global Research, September 19, 2014

The Scotts ‘Miracle-Gro’ Company which created genetically modified RoundUp-Ready Kentucky Bluegrass has announced that it will conduct field trials at the homes of Scotts’ employees. What’s more, they can do so without any government oversight because there are no laws that prohibit or limit the planting of GMO grass.

Poison Spring: The Secret History of Pollution and The EPA

August 20, 2014 by Carol Grieve

“When you allow chemical companies to do its own testing you are in trouble. But it is well thought out by the industry. They said, how can we take chemicals that are related to chemical warfare and allow them in our agriculture? We have to create an agency that allows the appearance of safety.”

Scientists find multiple problems with GMOs

By Ramon J. Seidler Posted Apr. 13, 2014

As a lifelong scientist, I am deeply troubled to report that promises of patent enforcement by American agrichemical seed companies have prevented U.S. scientists from researching what some exclaim are "problems" associated with GMO crops. We will not know the facts as long as the seeds and plants that we, our children, pets and livestock consume are not made available for conducting long-term, controlled experiments.

Norwegian scientists recently detected Roundup in 10 of 10 farms using genetically engineered soybeans. We had to also learn from these Norwegian (not American) scientists that the nutritional composition of soybeans grown on 31 Ohio farms differed depending upon the type of farm management system employed. Soybeans harvested from organic farms had higher concentrations of protein and essential amino acids, and higher concentrations of two minerals, and no Roundup residues (Food Chem. 2014).

Now we know from the scientific literature that the same concentrations of Roundup residues in soybeans is sufficient in laboratory assays to: induce hormone disruptions during frog development (mixed-sex frogs); kill young trout and tadpoles; stop the growth of earthworms in soil; inhibit activities of beneficial soil and human gut bacteria; and stimulate the growth of human breast-cancer cells assayed under laboratory conditions.

Widespread Glyphosate Contamination in USA

08/10/14

The most comprehensive research to date on environmental glyphosate levels exposes the widespread contamination of soil and water in the US, as well as its water treatment system. Looking at a wide range of geographical locations, researchers from the US Geological Survey (USGS) analysed 3 732 water and sediment samples and 1 081 quality assurance samples collected between 2001 and 2010 from 38 states in the US and the district of Colombia. They found glyphosate in 39.4 % of samples (1 470 out of 3 732) and its metabolite AMPA (aminomethylphosphonic acid) in 55 % of samples [1]. Water samples included streams, groundwater, ditches and drains, large rivers, soil water, lakes, ponds and wetlands, precipitation, soil and sediment, and waste water treatment plants.

Genetically Modified (GM) Ingredients in Pet Foods: Dogs & Cats at Risk

By Dr. Michael W. Fox*

Dogs and cats, like the proverbial canaries down the mine shafts, have become our sentinels. They alert us to health hazards in the home-environments we share and in the products and by-products of the same agribusiness food industry that feeds most of us and them. In the mid 1990s I began to suspect diet may play a role in a “cluster” of health problems not seen nearly as often as when dogs and cats were being fed conventional corn and soy. Since that time I have formed the professional opinion that there is sufficient proof from evidence based medicine that dietary ingredients derived from GM crops are not safe for companion animals, and by extension, for human consumers either.

Letter to Monsanto’s Hugh Grant from former US Marine

I’ve read too many to count peer reviewed and published papers by Drs. Seralini, Huber, Kruger, Samsel, Seneff, Mason, Shiva, Ho, Carmen, Antoniou, and others. I also know what your new man at Elsevier did to Dr. Seralini’s 2 year study of NK-603 maize. I know all about your FDA rubber stamped studies and why they’re are only 3 months long. I’ve yet to see any Independent, long term, peer reviewed papers proving GMOs are safe, despite the fact there are close to 2000 peer reviewed and published papers saying they’re not.

Hello all.

I want to thank those of you who sent me a thank you message. I really appreciate it. It gives me the will to keep educating myself and you. I haven't posted in awhile because I haven't felt well. Read on. I have lots to share with you. I hope you will take the time to scan/read what is important/of interest to you.

On January 18th, I went to get some groceries at Cdga. Wegmans and I was hungry. I found an organic sandwich and organic chili on the snack bar, so I purchased it and ate it. By 8 p.m. I knew I had eaten something gmo or pesticide/herbicide sprayed.

Keep in mind that I have been off gmo food since January, 2013, with the exception of two restaurant meals (Applebees) in 2013 and two gmo baby formula tastes in 2013, two Trader Joe's products in 2014 (American flour (I've posted about this being contaminated) and pumpkin bread mix) in which I had pin and needle pains in my stomach and didn't feel good for almost a week.

The bloating and needle and pin pains started in my stomach and I immediately got out my natural medicines, lemon juice, Bragg's apple cider vinegar, cayenne pepper, green tea, coconut oil and started drinking.

By the middle of the night I was having pain in my intestines that at first felt like someone was stabbing me, then later on cutting me. The next day the headache started. The stomach and intestinal pain was on and off but the headache was constant and I spent most of the time in bed.

I won't bore you with the rest of the details, except to say that my natural meds (real food) worked.

The reason I wanted to tell you about this is because I want you to think for a minute. What happens when a new born baby starts life out with this stuff in their baby formula or from the mother's breast milk?

The Next Phase of Genetic Engineering: A Flood of New Crops Evading Environmental Regulation

You may have heard of the new genetically engineered Simplot potato. It was made with a new GE technology called RNAi (RNA interference), a technology for which many important gaps remain in our understanding.
