GM food safety videos
Click on a category to choose a video to watch:
Genetic modification is a crude and imprecise way of incorporating foreign genetic material (e.g. from viruses, bacteria) into crops, with unpredictable consequences. The resulting GM foods have undergone little rigorous and no long-term safety testing, but animal feeding tests have shown potentially worrying health effects.
Former Monsanto Employee Warns Of Genetically Modified Food Concerns – Audio
Kirk Azevedo, biochemist, former industry researcher into Bt toxins and chemicals, and former Monsanto employee, describes why genetic engineering is not precise. He says Monsanto (unlike government regulators of GMOs) knows genetic engineering produces unintended proteins, which could lead to unexpected toxic or allergenic effects. He also says the knowledge base of the people who are developing this technology is not suited to understanding the risks. (Time: 9.07)

Dr Don Huber warns of a new pathogen linked with Roundup Ready (GMO) corn
On 17 January 2011, internationally recognised plant pathologist Dr. Don Huber, wrote a letter to USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack warning of the discovery of a new pathogen and a possible link between Roundup Ready (GMO) corn and soybeans and severe reproductive problems in livestock as well as widespread crop failure. Less than 3 weeks later, the Obama administration approved 2 new Roundup Ready® GMO crops, set to be planted this spring. (Time: 19:51)

Dr Mira Shiva on the health effects of GM foods
Dr Mira Shiva is a medical doctor and public health activist in India. She gave her feedback to public hearings on the introduction of Bt Brinjal (aubergine) in India. In February 2010, the Indian Government made a decision to halt the commercial production of GM Bt brinjal/aubergine/eggplant, which contains an insecticidal toxin protein from the soil bacterium Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis). In this video taken at Navdanya, Dehradun, India, Dr Mira Shiva speaks about her feedback to the public hearings on Bt Brinjal. (Time: 13:57)

Prof. Seralini Interviewed about Organ Damage from GM Maize
This is an interview with Prof. Gilles-Eric Séralini, the leader of the research team from the Committee of Independent Research and Information on Genetic Engineering (CRIIGEN) and the Universities of Caen and Rouen which obtained Monsanto's confidential raw data of its 2002 feeding trials on rats, after a European court made it public in 2005. The data "clearly underlines adverse impacts on kidneys and liver, the dietary detoxifying organs, as well as different levels of damages to heart, adrenal glands, spleen and haematopoietic system," reported Prof. Séralini, a molecular biologist at the University of Caen. Their December 2009 study appeared in the International Journal of Biological Sciences (IJBS). (Time: 9:38)
