Dangers of Genetically Modified Food Confirmed

Number 6 in the Top 25 Censored Stories for 2007!

1. Several recent studies confirm fears that genetically modified (GM) foods damage human health.

These studies were released as the World Trade Organization (WTO) moved toward upholding the ruling that the European Union has violated international trade rules by stopping importation of GM foods.

Research by the Russian Academy of Sciences released in December 2005 found that more than half of the offspring of rats fed GM soy died within the first three weeks of life, six times as many as those born to mothers fed on non-modified soy. Six times as many offspring fed GM soy were also severely underweight.

You Are Already Consuming Cloned Animal Products

They claim that there is no science-based reason to use labels to distinguish between milk derived from clones and that from conventional animals. What do you think about that?

Air Should Be Free

TreeHugger ran a post reporting that if every driver slowed down, drove 5% less and kept their tires properly inflated, it would save twice as much gas as the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge oil could provide. Other sites report that proper tire pressure alone could save 4% of our gas consumption. Air should be free, a service provided to customers like water and paper towels for checking oil, to encourage people to keep their tires properly inflated. First they take the electric cars away from us and now this?
