Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Food - Jeffrey M. Smith, #81

Genetic engineering unnaturally crosses the species barrier with unknown long-term consequences; serious health risks associated with ingesting genetically modified food including infertility, immune problems, inflammation, accelerated aging, and changes in major organs and the gastrointestinal system; no long-term scientific studies conducted; regulatory capture by the GMO industry; intimidation of researchers; California Proposition 37 requiring GMO labeling was narrowly defeated in 2012, 48.59% for and 51.41% against.  Heavy corporate spending.
