Australia: Report Shows no Financial Advantage in GM Canola |
|
|
A cross-industry information paper on GM canola has been released which shows that, despite non-GM yields being affected by inadequate weed control, if technology access fees were included, there is no financial advantage in using Roundup Ready canola. In addition, the report shows there may be health risks to livestock that eat GM canola - and to the humans who eat their produce.

US Association of Physicians calls for Moratorium on GMO Foods |
|
|
The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) has just issued a call for an immediate moratorium on Genetically Manipulated (GMO) Foods.
In a just-released position paper on GMO foods, the AAEM states that ‘GM foods pose a serious health risk’ and calls for a moratorium on GMO foods. Citing several animal studies, the AAEM concludes ‘there is more than a casual association between GMO foods and adverse health effects’ and that ‘GM foods pose a serious health risk in the areas of toxicology, allergy and immune function, reproductive health, and metabolic, physiologic and genetic health.’ The report is a devastating blow to the multibillion dollar international agribusiness industry, most especially to Monsanto Corporation, the world’s leading purveyor of GMO seeds and related herbicides.

GM Revealed: Government's secret multimillion pound support for GM crops |
|
|
GM Secret Files. See today's article in The Independent. The government has always said they are neutral in the matter of GM however it provides "at least £50m a year for research into agricultural biotechnology, largely GM crops and food. This generosity contrasts with the £1.6m given last year for research into organic agriculture, in spite of repeated promises to promote environmentally friendly 'sustainable' agriculture."

The action received support from a parade of an extra 60 people.

Canadian Government bureaucrat closes GM Watch website temporarily |
|
|
|
The GM Watch website is back after being shut down for nearly a week after being attacked by a Canadian Government bureaucrat. In an outrageous attack on free speech a Canadian Government bureaucrat succeeded in censoring a UK public interest website which serves a global audience on the GM issue. But his goal went still further than that. The concern was over our expose of research which, according to a spokesman for Greenpeace Canada at the time, was "deliberately skewed to favour Bt corn, out of fear that consumers would reject the controversial technology."
