Book Review - Genetic Roulette
Genetic Roulette is comprehensive text providing information on the potential dangers of genetically modified food. Jeffrey M. Smith provides an in-depth look into the GM industry and the inadequacy of studies and regulations identifying potential side effects. From GM’s beginnings in the mid 1970’s to the current state of the GM industry, Smith exposes all.
Beginning in 1996, GM crops started showing up in the marketplace. Today, GM food crops, GM seeds and pesticides (for these GM seed/crops) are commonplace in the U.S. Commercially; we find four major crops making their way to market: soybeans, corn, canola and cotton. These are found in food, clothing and products available for sale to the public. Today six countries are growing GM crops. They include: the United States (54%), Argentina (18%), Brazil (11%), Canada (6%), India (4%) and China (3%). These foods have been shown to have higher level of toxins, increased allergens, carcinogens, over production of proteins, changes in enzymatic activity, and decreased nutrients value.
Time and time again, Smith provides documented health risks associated with GM foods. He shows evidence of reactions in both humans and animals including: the development of precancerous cells, bleeding stomachs, changes in blood cells, changes in the small intestine, allergic reactions, death, evidence of toxins in blood, sterility, reduction in milk production, changes in liver cells, changes in digestive enzymes, possible interference with digestion and digestive enzymes, food allergies and a host of other complications and reactions. In addition, he provides examples of widespread mutations (deletions, changes and translocations within the DNA) and the unwillingness of the scientific community and regulators that approve GM food and technology to address potential health effects and damage created by these mutations. There is no extensive evaluation of mutations required by regulators.
Jeffrey M. Smith is a bestselling author and champion in the fight against genetically modified food. Smith authored two books on the subject (Seeds of Deception and Genetic Roulette), counsels and lectures on the subject worldwide and is the Executive Director of the Institute for Responsible Technology.

Book Review - Our Stolen Future
Our Stolen Future: Are We Threatening Our Fertility, Intelligence and Survival? A Scientific Detective Story. Colburn, T., Dumanoski, D., Peterson Myers, J.
Much like a juicy novel or revealing biography, I was unable to put this book down! It should be on everyone’s bookshelf. The evidence uncovered regarding the persistent effects of man-made chemicals is truly ground-breaking. Like many, I assumed the presence of man-made chemicals where partially responsible for a host of cancers and other degenerative conditions, but I did not consider the impact on fertility and sexual development of future generations. In addition, the evidence of exposure in the most remote places in the world was shocking.
Chapter by chapter, this book became more compelling. From Colburn’s frustrations to tie incidents of cancer to the presence of man-made chemicals and the many experiments showing that man-made chemicals act as estrogen disruptors, I became more aware of the frustration of those trying to study, educate and inform on this topic.
This is a must read!

Book Review
The End of Food. Roberts, P. (2008). New York, New York: Mariner Books.
The End of Food is an eye-opening investigation into the modern food system. Divided into three parts, it is a thorough expose into everything we neglect to think about when we think about food. From the early hunting and gathering to genetically modified food, Paul Roberts explores it all.
Part I – The Past
The first part of the book provides a historical view or how the modern industrial food system got to where it is today. It takes the reader through how early man sought out food. Initially, plants provided the calories necessary to survive. Man was able to gather plants to feed his family. Soon, man discovered that animals also provided calories and the calories when more dense providing more energy. Hence, further ensuring the survival of man. This survival allowed the population to grow and the need for more food to grow as well. A way to feed more people lent to the development and expansion of farms. Here, plants and animals were produced on a larger scale to feed more people.
Part II – The Present
This part of the book takes a look at where we are today as a result of the industrialization of the food system. Food production, as part of an ever-decreasing margin industry, had gone global. Food is grown and sourced based on lowest cost. However, this drive to produce for the lowest dollar also brings about serious problems. Impacts on health, soil and water; as well as increasing energy costs all result from the industrial food machine. In addition, this explosion of production still fails to provide food for those that continue to experience hunger in the world.
Part III – The Future
The last part of the book explores the great hurdle in fixing the food system. Today in a world with transgenic/genetically modified food, we don’t know the impact of how we will be affected in the future.
Conclusion
This was a great book and I was not able to put it down. Roberts really dug into what is going on with our food. He provided in-depth information that really made me want to learn more and tell others. After reading, I watched many of his talks and became actively interested in the state of our current food system.
