Myths - GE is safe

Myths

GE is safe

Nobody knows the long-terms consequences of consuming GE foods and there has not been adequate testing. Some preliminary testing on rats has shown worrying results in a number of GE varieties, including corn and peas.

GE canola varieties approved by the federal Gene Technology Regulator include Monsanto's GT73 Roundup Ready canola. Monsanto's own studies reveal increased liver weights in rats fed the canola. The Public Health Association of Australia has also raised safety concerns about eating the canola.

Greenpeace calls GM approval corrupt

Sunday, 20 April 2008

 Greenpeace is calling on the Independent Commission Against Corruption to conduct an inquiry into the process behind the approval of growing genetically engineered (GE) canola in NSW.


The call comes after we found that the committee set up to investigate whether GE canola should be grown in NSW was stacked with pro-GE advocates.

According to two of the committee members, dissenting members' concerns were down-played, marginalised and not reflected in the minutes of the meeting. Furthermore, it was not publicly revealed that the committee was split on the recommendation to approve planting GE canola.
