What are the health hazards, and how does it affect the land and environment?
GMOs are linked to toxic and allergic reactions in people, thousands of sick, sterile and dead livestock, and damage to virtually every organ studied in lab animals. The biotech industry claims that Bt toxin is harmless to humans and mammals because the natural bacteria version has been used as a spray by farmers for years. In reality, hundreds of people exposed to Bt spray had allergic-type symptoms, and mice fed Bt had powerful immune responses and damaged intestines. Moreover, Bt in GM crops is designed to be more toxic than the natural spray and is thousands of times more concentrated. Hundreds of labourers in India report allergic reactions from handling Bt cotton. Their symptoms are identical to those exposed to Bt spray. Unlike safety evaluations for drugs, there are no human clinical trials for GM foods. The only published human feeding experiment verified that genetic material inserted into GM soy transfers into the DNA of intestinal bacteria and continues to function. This me
