We were fortunate enough at Beyond GM to facilitate the press launch of the book Altered Genes, Twisted Truth.
The book is written by US attorney Steven Druker and features a foreword by the renowned primatologist Dame Jane Goodall (pictured with myself and colleague Fran Price, left).
The book is the result of more than 15 years of intensive research and investigation by Druker stands as an important history lesson in GMOs. Druker, came to prominence for initiating a lawsuit against the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that forced it to divulge its files on GM foods. Those files revealed that GM foods first achieved commercialisation in 1992 only because the FDA:
- Covered up the extensive warnings of its own scientists about their dangers.
- Lied about the facts.
- And then violated federal food safety law by permitting these foods to be marketed without having been proven safe through standard testing.
You can read more about the event and the book on the Beyond GM site.
