GlyphoWHAT? The Daily Poisoning of Our Children
Our children are consuming a daily dose of poison. Parents are unaware of the great harm befallen our most vulnerable. And for those parents who attempt to thwart the daily dose of poison, children consume it at school.
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 evolving, and their introduction has altered and affects all aspects of our well-being, including: Our health and the environment Agriculture Food manufacturing Medical products New applications of existing tools are constantly...
A Hidden Epidemic
A survey shows that exposure to potentially health-threatening levels of glyphosate has escalated over the past 20 years, yet regulators are turning a blind eye, writes Professor David Schubert.
A GMO Corn and Its Non-GMO Parent Are Not Substantially Equivalent
Findings question industry and regulatory position of substantial equivalence of GM crops and may have safety implications

Massive Rise in Use of Glyphosate-based Herbicides
Herbicides containing glyphosate are the most heavily used worldwide. A comprehensive account of the use of glyphosate-based herbicides (GBH) is available in an article published by Environmental Sciences Europe in February 2016 (1). This article examines the last 40...
Glyphosate and Glyphosate-based Herbicides
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in the herbicide formulations most commonly used on genetically engineered (GE) crops. For nearly a decade, glyphosate has been far and away the most widely and heavily used pesticide in the US and globally. In 2015, US farmers and...
Are GMOs contributing to the rise in chronic health conditions in our children?
Through sanitation, better nutrition, medical care and many other advances, we naturally expect that children’s health should continually improve over time. However, this has not been the case in recent years. Many childhood diseases are on the rise and the rate of...
Super Weeds and Herbicide – Tolerant Genetically Engineered Crops
By Belinda Martineau, PhD Some Ag-Biotech history Twenty years ago, before crops genetically engineered to be herbicide-tolerant were commercially available, one of the big concerns environmentalists had about the use of agricultural biotechnology was that it would...
