The Genetics and Health article Genetically Modified Foods – Pros and Cons is a student’s favourite and has provoked huge debate both for and against GM foods. 

With the food crisis looming Jeremy Cooke of the BBC News takes a look at whether our negative attitude to GM Foods may be about to change. 

Another reference to help your studies, guys!

    Mention Monsanto wants to take over world food production ? ….or the BT Cotton failure in India with thousands of farmers suiciding over the this disarster?…or that GMO plant genes (as in Soy )CAN insert themselves into human genes once eaten?…How about Morgellons Disease with Agrobacterium (in GM grops) inserting its genes in life forms and creating a world wide pandemic , esp in the USA of which the CDC will white wash with its up coming investigation? Allergies , gene triggering of chronic diseases….my… the list goes on.
    How about the revolving door between Monsanto and the FDA with staff moving from one organisation to the other with major conflict of interest ?
    Just scratch under the surface and the see for yourself…..
