Eating genetically modified food is gambling with every bite.The biotech industrys claim that genetically modified (GM) foods are safe is shattered in this groundbreaking book. Sixty-five health risks of the foods that Americans eat every day are presented in easy-to-read two-page spreads. The left page is designed for the quick scanning reader; it includes bullets, illustrations, and quotes. The right side offers fully referenced text, describing both research studies and theoretical risks. The second half of "Genetic Roulette" shows how safety assessments on GM crops are not competent to identify the health problems presented in the first half. It also exposes how industry research is rigged to avoid finding problems.This book, prepared in with input by more than 30 scientists, is for anyone wanting to understand GM technology, to learn how to protect themselves, or to share their concerns with others. It is presented in the clear, accessible style that made Jeffrey Smiths "Seeds of Deception" the worlds best-selling book on genetically engineered foods. As the worlds most complete reference on the health risks of GM foods, "Genetic Roulette" is also ideal for schools and libraries.Smith, Jeffrey M. is the author of 'Genetic Roulette The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods', published 2007 under ISBN 9780972966528 and ISBN 0972966528.
