More than 600 scientists from 72 countries have called for a moratorium on
the environmental release of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This book
represents the research and concerns of many of these scientists. The evidence
they have compiled makes a strong case for a worldwide ban on GM crops to make
way for a comprehensive shift to sustainable agriculture and organic farming.
Genetic engineering of food crops is an ecological and health crisis that affects
us all. Its consequences are global and potentially irrevocable. Learn the basis
of the decisions your government and major multinational corporations are now
making for you. And begin to take the future into your own hands by consuming
organic foods.
"This outstanding compilation by the world’s leading experts provides
overwhelming evidence that GM foods and crops are dangerous to human health
and the environment. So many of the assumptions underlying industry’s
safety claims have been proven wrong, it’s astonishing that GMOs are still
allowed on the market. The case made in this pivotal work is clear: Remove GMOs
or face a potential disaster. I hope it’s not too late."
Jeffrey M. Smith, Author, Seeds of Deception
"ISIS makes a compelling case for a genetically modified free world--at
least for the immediate future. Their cautious, thoughtful and scientifically
adept treatment of the full breadth of argument pro and con is admirable. In
particular, they point to the cascade of risks stemming from uncontrolled pollination
and other outside-the-species movement of introduced genes, including permanent
loss of genetic integrity, evolutionary disruption and contamination of the
natural lineage of species that have evolved over millenia with their own genetic
mechanisms.
GM-Free is a profound indictment of our rush to commercialize genetic material.
It belongs on everyone's bookshelf."
Marc Lappe, Ph.D., Director, The Center for Ethics and Toxics,
Author, Against the Grain: Biotechnology and the Corporate Takeover of Your
Food
"GM-Free" does a wonderful job of explaining why genetically modified
foods are not safe for human health or the environment. The dedicated scientists
who have teamed up to produce this landmark document realize the importance
of getting the truth out to the public. This is essential reading for everyone
concerned about the future of global agriculture and the sustainability of our
planet."

Engineered Foods
