The Health Dangers of Genetically Modified Foods
This is a lecture by Jeffrey Smith, in which he summarizes the contents of this book. It’s not only informative, but amusing, because he casts a joke here and there. Part 2 at www.youtube.com

Why are people so eager to not only kill themselves but force everyone around them to do the same…in the name of “good science”?
What has happened?
They are now admitting that if GMO’s don’t stop immediately, their proliferation will be irreversible..if not already. There are limits to what you can do….and a HUGE line should be drawn on messing around with our food.
They now admit they cannot control their own technology and we have NO idea what that will do in the long run
“scientists-doctors that are dedicated to ending poverty and malnutrition”
and they dont seem to think GMOs are necessary. in fact, the only real argument for GMOs is increased profits
i want to know why some people are so adimant to argue for monsanto’s bank account
i also want to know why those same people claim there is no science to show problems with GMOs
in my opinion, GM is genetic pollution. until we fully understand it it is suicidal to put it out into the world
do you have access to pubmed? there are papers describing studies of GMOs that have already uncovered problems
Eur J Histochem. 2008 Oct-Dec;52(4):263-7
“pre-mRNA maturation seems to be less efficient in both 2-cell and 4-8-cell embryos from GM-fed mice than in controls”
Histochem Cell Biol. 2008 Nov;130(5):967-77. Epub 2008? Jul 22
“hepatocytes of GM-fed mice showed mitochondrial and nuclear modifications”
GMOs are relatively new it will be some time before good long term studies are done
Not if the only car available is a traveling bomb ready to explode into a firey death at any moment.
Yeah, what we put into our bodies has nothing to do with our weight whatsoever.
It is not natural to die falling apart at the seams.
Science is not perfect. And when you need to wish for my death to defend something which is proving to be disastrous and you refuse to look at any evidence to the contrary, it makes sense. Science currently places little value on human life. This is changing.
Trying to belittle me just shows the lack of substance in your explanations
You can’t expect me to believe the entire survival of mankind rests on the fate of a few gigantic agricultural corporations and how they manipulate the genes of plants just because your “science” (where is it?) says so.
There are some scientists-doctors that are dedicated to ending poverty and malnutrition. The sea is a bounty of food, as long as we steward it properly. We could create entire cities with garden rooftops. The things we could do are limited only by the imagination and limited by how much we listen to individuals such as yourself that claim putting ROUNDUP INTO CORN IS A GOOD IDEA! Show me the science for that being healthy…oh yeah there is none
In the past, 40% of the population used to live on farms and grow food. Today, it is around 4%. We have not even BEGUN to start investing in understanding of how to flow with nature and turn deserts into gardens.
Did you know we can grow vegetables in the ocean?
Did you know algea can re-bond the broken protein chains created during digestion and can literally turn fecal matter into food over time?
Did you know, we don’t even have a clue of the kinds of things we can create?
Yeah…mainly corn. Except it has less nutrition. But really…everything we eat is a derivative of corn, wheat, or soybeans. And not a hige variety of each kind…monocrops are not healthy and until you can prove that, your claims are unsubstantiated, cause I don’t need science to tell me variety allows for the survival of all species.
Can’t fight it.? What would our world look like if we had spent a trillion on growing a variety of organic food instead of wasting it blowing things up?
Alright sweet. I’m tired of having a conversation with a mentally handicapped individual on youtube. You can argue as much as you want without any hard factual evidence proving GMOs unsafe compared to any other science, and spout on and on non-logical bullshit. But I leave you with the simple fact that from 1997 to 2005 GMO acreage incease by a factor of 50. Good luck growing veggies to sustain yourself. You’re fucked, because you can’t fight it douche… it’s science
So what you’re saying, Einstein, is that because something works we shouldn’t bother with new technology to solve our problems. WELL FUCK! holy crap, walking has worked for millenia! guess I should stop using my car now since obviously that ain’t broke! fucking brilliant.
Your death would be a great excision from the human gene pool.
Half of all the moronic shit you say can be answered in 2 statements: People aren’t as active as they used to be; and We live longer now so we are more susceptible to die from genetic errors accumulated in our genome.
shit all that took was a little science to answer. well i guess im plumb fuckered out.
So what you gonna do, fix something that isn’t broken and potentially break it? Something we all depend on to survive?
Is that really intelligent?
Thinking you are smarter than nature?
Food has been grown successfully without pesticides, herbicides, genetic-modying since the beginning of time.
Why would we need to change that?
If it ai’nt broke don’t fix it, right?
Also, because they are alive, gene-altered crops are inherently more unpredictable than chemical pollutants — they can reproduce, migrate, and mutate. Once released, it is virtually impossible to recall genetically engineered organisms back to the laboratory or the field.
Does 100% of the population have to be so overweight that they can’t even walk down the street before you realize the health of our nation is headed in the wrong direction?
Have you ever considered that all your intellectual-public-fool-system-programming has blinded you by facts to something that a child could point out?
THE EMPORER IS NAKED…I don’t need a degree in clothing to see that.
Trust me…I have done far more research on the topic of nutrition than most people.
Do you need me to die for you to get the clue?
no, cause even if it killed me you’d still be clueless.
Why are our children obese?
Why do one out of 2 people get cancer in their lifetime?
Why is 40-60% of our population overweight?
Why is terrible acne commonplace?
Doesn’t everything we put into our bodies, into our hair, and on our skin get absorbed into the body and affect us?
You really can’t see that we have become the un-healthiest nation in the history of mankind?
And what exactly does this mean to you, buddy? Listen, pal, we ingest the foreign DNA of bacteria and viruses every day because it is always present in our food. Just because you ingest this DNA doesnt mean your genome incorporates it. Basic genomics. So anti-glycophosphate genes are added to plants, SO WHAT? what evidence can you present that shows this is harmful in any way? huh? HUH? please enlighten me with your layman diatribe.
Because at the moment I spend my time studying mainly commercial law.
Biology and quantum physics are EXACTLY the same thing?
What is that supposed to mean?
And yes, big corps (monsanto) pretty much bribe and run government all around, so why should I jump on board with the biggest fraudsters on the planet.
Are you telling me we have been putting ROUNDUP into the GENES of CORN for CENTURIES?
We have been activating the suicide gene in plants for ages?
Yeah because I told you to watch TV and listen to your government obediently. right.
Why don’t you open up a text book and start learning. Better yet, take a course on Biotechnology. And yeah because Biology and quantum physics are EXACTLY the same thing. get real
What are you retarded? Seriously you’re just sidestepping now for a lack of a better argument. They don’t have access to a diet with meat so we give them a replacement nutrient. What is so hard to understand about that? Populations are growing so we need alternative solutions to meet new problems. You got one? if not then that other guy is right, gtfo
Are you suggesting that the only reason there is no vitamin A in rice is because we have not genetically enhanced rice?
Would that not mean the entire asian population should be blind?
Maybe you should ask why they now have to modify the food to contain the same nutrient content that previously was gleaned from rich soil.
Wow…what great info, thanks for clearing it up for me
And it doesn’t take rocket science degree to know what toxic food feels like and all the effects that come with it..low energy, more acne, less sleep, etc.
There are many things in life I can do without, but healthy food is not one of them. And I cannot process the current GMO products. Let’s not even mention the fact that we no longer have variety in our food. There used to be 100,000 different varieties of potatoes grown for example, now there are only 8 kinds mass produced
You have no idea who I am. Yeah, i should just believe what my government and tv tells me eh?
I use intuition in conjunction with knowledge, that is the only reason I’m alive. Intuition is very important in an age of too muck information. Paying attention to quantum physics much…there is much more going on than we can possibly know and more than we currently understand, but no, we already know everything I guess.
BTW good luck with the whole belittling-closed-mindedness-thing.
You think intuition is a path to knowledge? get the fuck out. We do know the long term effects because we have been modifying food for centuries. You throwing out an einstein quote doesn’t make up for your incompetence.
