PRESS RELEASE 17 JUNE 2012<br />

NEW REPORT BY GENETIC ENGINEERS<br />

WHY<br />

IS DANGEROUS<br />

Aren’t critics of genetically engineered food anti-science?<br />

Isn’t the debate over GMOs (genetically modified organisms) a spat<br />

between emotional but ignorant activists on one hand and rational<br />

GM-supporting scientists on the other?<br />

A new report released recently, “GMO Myths and Truths”,<br />

challenges these claims.<br />

The report presents a large<br />

body of peer-reviewed<br />

scientific and other<br />

authoritative evidence of<br />

the hazards to health and<br />

the environment posed by<br />

genetically engineered<br />

crops and organisms<br />

(GMOs).<br />

Unusually, the initiative for<br />

the report came not from<br />

campaigners but from two<br />

genetic engineers who<br />

believe there are good<br />

scientific reasons to be<br />

wary of GM foods and<br />

crops.<br />
