"Consumers in the U.S. are being used as human
guinea pigs by biotech companies, which rushed
their GMOs to market without adequate studies
and before the science was ready."
- Jeffrey M. Smith
Jeffrey M. Smith is a leading spokesperson on the health dangers of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). His 2003 international bestseller, Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies about the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You’re Eating, is credited with motivating changes in consumer buying habits to safer, non-GMO foods.
His second book, Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods, reveals insider documents about GMO safety trials and shows
how the world’s most powerful biotech companies bluff and mislead critics, Congress and the
FDA about the products we buy every day.
