Section 6: MAY increase environmental toxins & bioaccumulated toxins? You know what we're getting with the new stacked traits, I'm sure of it. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that one of the chemicals that our conventional ag farmers are going to be spraying next year is Agent Orange, aka 2, 4-D.

65 Health Risks of GM Foods : Institute for Responsible Technology
Part 1: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods
Section 1: Evidence of reactions in animals and humans
Section 2: Gene insertion disrupts the DNA and can create unpredictable health problems
Section 3: The protein produced by the inserted gene may create problems
Section 4: The foreign protein may be different than what is intended
Section 5: Transfer of genes to gut bacteria, internal organs, or viruses
Section 6: GM crops may increase environmental toxins & bioaccumulate toxins in the food chain
Section 7: Other types of GM foods carry risks
Section 8: Risks are greater for children and newborns
