Introducing the speaker, Dr GPI Singh, Prof and Head of Community Medicine and Convener Environmental Health Action Group, said that the DNA modification process is at best poorly understood at present.
Working with more than 30 scientists over several years, international best-selling author Jeffrey Smith conducted an extensive evaluation of the health risks of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
The resulting book, “Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods”, features 65 health dangers.
GMOs are linked to toxic and allergic reactions in people, thousands of sick, sterile and dead livestock and damage to virtually every organ studied in lab animals. Current safety evaluations in India and around the world are incompetent to even identify most of the risks and industry research is designed to avoid finding such problems. Most of the fundamental assumptions used as the basis for safety claims have been proven false.
