Changing the World, One Kitchen at a Time

By: Healthy Wealthy nWise

Jeffrey Smith is the author of the best-selling book Seeds of Deception which is about the dangers of genetically modified foods, and he's also the author of the recently released Genetic Roulette. Jeffrey Smith never intended to be a leader in the health and food industries, but when he learned about the dangers of genetically modified foods, his passion became to change the world.

Jeffrey Smith was so passionate to change the world's view of GM foods, that he ran for congress and worked at a Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) detection laboratory as Vice-President of Marketing. He travels the world with his book Seeds of Deception, speaking to political leaders. The problem with Seeds of Deception is that is reads more like a novel than a reference book.

Jeffrey Smith knew there must be some way to get his message out. He met with over 30 scientists during the course of a two year period to gather materials for Genetic Roulette. Genetic Roulette is a unique book that has facts for political leaders on one side of the page and references for scientists on the other side of the page. The book documents 65 of the health risks associated with GM foods. So what ARE GM foods, exactly?

Genetic material taken from one organism and inserted into another organism creates a third organism that is unlike the two parent organisms. Scientists take something natural and create something not natural, not found in nature. For example, DNA from jellyfish has been used to make the snout of pigs glow. DNA from bacteria has been inserted into crops to produce pesticides and resist herbicides.

The problem with eating a chip made from modified corn or a slice of bread made with modified wheat is that the modified genes pass into your system. Your digestive tract can become the breeding ground for pesticides. GM foods have the potential to save the world from hunger, but today's understanding of the subject is inadequate and downright dangerous.

GM food companies seem to be more concerned about profits than about the long-term health and well being of populations eating their products. Jeffrey Smith spends as much time as possible trying to get that point across to world leaders. Getting a product to market quickly generates profits, but at the same time, it reduces the amount of time spent in health research.

Who's going to protect unknowing consumers? The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is supposed to regorously check the foods we eat, so why aren't they stopping unsafe foods from making it to market? In 1992, FDA policy claimed that the agency was "Not aware of any information showing that the foods created from these methods differ in any meaningful or uniform way." In layman's terms, the FDA isn't going to require any special testing of GM foods. They're taking a hands-off approach because they feel that GM products are the same as natural ones.

Many scientists, including those who have worked for the FDA in the past, all agree that GM foods cause allergies, toxins, new diseases, and nutritional problems. Some scientists have tried to warn superiors, but they have been ignored.
