SEEDS OF DECEPTION
by Smith, Jeffrey M

Exposing Corporate and Government Lies about the Safety of Genetically Engineered Food

"Seeds of Deception lays bare the complex world of genetically modified foods. In my opinion, Smith's book is the next Silent Spring. The facts included in Seeds of Deception devastate the vacuous arguments laid out by biotechnology industry proponents, their hirelings, and government officials who supposedly protect the safety of our nation's food supply."?Pete Hardin, The Milkweed (US Dairy Industry newspaper)

"Some books?The Jungle, Silent Spring, Our Stolen Future?start revolutions. Jeffrey M. Smith's Seeds of Deception, an expose on genetically engineered foods, should join these ranks. If you think I'm exaggerating, then you don't know as much about the genetic engineering of foods crops as you should."?Diane Olson Rutter, Catalyst magazine (US)

Seeds of Deception reveals how worldwide industry manipulation and political collusion?not sound science ?have forced genetically engineered food into our daily diet. Rigged research, cover-ups of health dangers, and political and corporate bullying form the seedy background to the spread of GM across the planet. The facts are alarming: a top UK scientist who tried to alert the public about his discoveries was sacked and threatened with a law suit; other scientists have been bribed or threatened; evidence has been stolen, data omitted or doctored; employees who complain have been harassed, fired or stripped of responsibility; laboratory rats fed a GM crop developed stomach lesions and seven of the forty died within two weeks?the crop was approved without further tests.

? Read the actual internal memos by US scientists, which warn of toxins, allergies, and new diseases?all ignored by their superiors, including a former lawyer for Monsanto.
? Discover how industry studies are designed to avoid finding problems.
? Learn why the FDA withheld information from Congress after a genetically modified supplement killed nearly a hundred people and disabled thousands.

If you think GM food is safe, this book will change your mind.

Jeffrey M. Smith has been involved with genetically modified (GM) foods for nearly a decade. He worked for non-profit and political groups on the issue and in 1998, ran for US Congress to raise public awareness of the health and environmental impacts. He is the founding director of the Institute for Responsible Technology, a member of the Sierra Club Genetic Engineering Committee, the steering committee of the Genetic Engineering Action Network (GEAN), and the advisory board of the Campaign to Label Genetically Engineered Foods.
