Reading Scientific Studies: With a Perspective on a Mock GE Study
There has never been a more important time than the present to understand not only genetically engineered organisms, but the research behind their propagation and promotion. The science of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or genetic engineering (GE) is rapidly...
Pesticides and the Crisis in Children’s Health
The role of pesticides as a major factor and prime cause in the downward trajectory of our children’s health has been known for decades. There are innumerable studies that have documented how pesticides work and why they are so dangerous for our children. Yet,...
Glyphosate and Roundup Disrupt the Gut Microbiome by Inhibiting the Shikimate Pathway
Doses of glyphosate and Roundup that regulators have assumed to be safe also cause fatty liver disease and death of liver tissue. Report by Claire Robinson and Michelle Perro, MD At-a-glance Nearly all genetically modified (GM) crops worldwide are engineered to be...
Early Exposure to Pesticides Linked to Increased Risk of Autism
Researchers say pregnant women and babies must be protected against exposures to pesticides, including glyphosate herbicides.
Rat Feeding Study Suggests the Impossible Burger May Not Be Safe to Eat
Rats fed the genetically modified yeast-derived protein soy leghemoglobin – the burger’s key ingredient – developed unexplained weight gain and signs of toxicity. Report by Claire Robinson and Michael Antoniou, PhD
Childhood Leukemia, the Microbiome, and Glyphosate: A Doctor’s Perspective
Gut bacteria play a role in whether our children will develop leukemia – and there may be a link with glyphosate and GM crops, writes Michelle Perro, MD
Genetic Engineer Renounces His GMO Potatoes
Dr. Caius Rommens developed GMO potatoes that are now in the food supply. He has now renounced his products and written a book warning about the risks
We Can Turn Children’s Health Around
Children’s health is in crisis. But breakthroughs in our understanding of the importance of gut health can help reverse even serious disease, writes Michelle Perro, MD
