Hello Health Care Professionals, Here is some very important news about the safety of the food that your patients or you yourself could be eating.ensser.org/increasing-public-information/no-scientific-consensus-on-gmo-safety/ DESPITE WHAT YOU MAY HAVE HEARD that There is no scientific basis for labeling GMOS The industry claims that their GMOs have been proven to be safe. However....Scientists concerned about the public being misled on this issue have just released a statement There is no scientific consensus that genetically modified foods and crops are safe, according to a statement released today by an international group of over 85 scientists, academics and physicians.[1] The statement comes in response to recent claims from the GM industry and some scientists and commentators that there is a “scientific consensus” that GM foods and crops are safe for human and animal health and the environment. The statement calls such claims “misleading” and states, “The claimed consensus on GMO safety does not exist.” Commenting on the statement, one of the signatories, Professor Brian Wynne, associate director and co-principal investigator from 2002-2012 of the UK ESRC Centre for the Economic and Social Aspects of Genomics, Cesagen, Lancaster University, said: “There is no consensus amongst scientific researchers over the health or environmental safety of GM crops and foods, and it is misleading and irresponsible for anyone to claim that there is. Many salient questions remain open, while more are being discovered and reported by independent scientists in the international scientific literature. Indeed some key public interest questions revealed by such research have been left neglected for years by the huge imbalance in research funding, against thorough biosafety research and in favour of the commercial-scientific promotion of this technology.” (See below for further details) Yet another reason to vote Yes on I-522 PS these links would make a nice accent to any Facebook page Please remember to vote - poles close November 4th.Press release, Earth Open Source, Monday 21 October 2013 earthopensource.org/index.php/news/150
