Genetic Engineering and the Failure of Science

A new peer-reviewed article by Dr. Don Lotter, Genetic Engineering and the Failure of Science has been making waves as of late. The article is a stark reminder that the jury is very much still out about the long-term health effects of GM foods. Lotter chronicles the history of “red flags” that should have prompted independent research into adverse health effects of GM foods and goes on to explain the academic culture behind the paucity of independent studies. Watch for an upcoming Food First Backgrounder on Dr. Lotter's findings or check out a lecture by Dr. Lotter covering the content of his new paper.
