Beware
of GE/GM Food
There
are strong indications of possible dangers from GE foods to our health. We
simply don't know, as no human testing has occurred. Many doctors and
scientists are worried GE foods may damage our immune systems, create new
toxins and allergens or increase resistance to antibiotics. The long-term
effects are extremely unpredictable.
Can I avoid it? Everyone
must have the right to say 'no' to genetically engineered food. Yet 80% of
processed foods including crisps, bread and chocolate contain maize or
soya and could therefore contain GE products. These are not labelled and
South African labelling laws are yet to come into force. The present draft
regulations are deeply flawed and we are applying pressure to rectify
this.
