    Winning the war on cancer means preventing cancer. Yet cancer is a multi-billion dollar business. Isn’t preventing cancer bad for business? It is for the pharmaceutical and mammography businesses. These industries have intricate ties to U. S. policy makers, directing research funds to insure their continued profits in cancer diagnosis/treatment. It’s time for reform.

    ================================================

    Professor Richard Lewontin, professor of genetics, Harvard University, We have such a miserably poor understanding of how the organism develops from its DNA that I would be surprised if we don't get one rude shock after another."

    Dr Suzanne Wuerthele, US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) toxicologist, "This technology is being promoted, in the face of concerns by respectable scientists and in the face of data to the contrary, by the very agencies which are supposed to be protecting human health and the environment. The bottom line in my view is that we are confronted with the most powerful technology the world has ever known, and it is being rapidly deployed with almost no thought whatsoever to its consequences."- GENOCIDE!

    Professor Norman Ellstrand, ecological geneticist at the University of California, "within 10 years we will have a moderate to large-scale ecological or economic catastrophe, because there will be so many products being released." - GENOCIDE

    • "With genetic engineering familiar foods could become metabolically dangerous or even toxic.” Statement by 21 scientists including the following, Professor Brian Goodwin, Professor Jacqueline McGlade, Professor Peter Saunders and Professor Richard Lacey - GENOCIDE

    Professor Richard Lacey, microbiologist and Professor of Food Safety at Leeds University - has spoken out strongly against the introduction of genetically engineered foods because of “the essentially unlimited health risks”.- GENOCIDE "http://members.tripod.com/~ngin/article5.htm"


    Professor Arpad Pusztai, world-leading nutritional science expert, formerly of the Food, Gut, and Microbial Interactions Group, Rowett Research Institute, "If it is left to me, I would certainly not eat it. We are putting new things into food which have not been eaten before. The effects on the immune system are not easily predictable and I challenge anyone who will say that the effects are predictable." "http://members.tripod.com/~ngin/pusztai.htm"


    Dr Andrew Chesson, vice chairman of European Commission scientific committee on animal nutrition, "Potentially disastrous effects may come from undetected harmful substances in genetically modified foods." - GENOCIDE"http://members.tripod.com/~ngin/mosely.htm"


    Dr. Gerald B. Guest, Director of the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM),"...animal feeds derived from genetically modified plants present unique animal and food safety concerns.. "


    Professor Dennis Parke a former chief advisor on food safety to Unilever Corporation and British advisor to the US FDA on safety aspects of biotechnology writes: "In 1983, hundreds of people in Spain died after consuming adulterated rapeseed oil. This adulterated rapeseed oil was not toxic to rats". Dr Parke warns that current testing procedures for genetically altered foods including rodent tests are not proving safety for humans. -GENOCIDE



    Public risk must always be balanced against the potential for public benefit. This milk-producing hormone has NONE—zero—benefit for the public. It merely places the public at risk to increase corporate profits.

    NONE whatsoever - Zero. Even FDA says there are no consumer benefits. In fact, because the U.S. already produces a surplus of milk, which is purchased by Uncle Sam, increasing milk production with rBGH will COST the taxpayer an additional $200 million or more each year,

    Monsanto's Genetically Modified Milk Ruled Unsafe by The United Nations

    The Codex Alimentarius Commission, the U.N. Food Safety Agency representing 101 nations worldwide, has ruled unanimously in favor of the 1993 European moratorium on Monsanto's genetically engineered hormonal milk (rBGH).

    ====================================================

    http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/dailys/01/Jun01/061901/00D-1598_emc-006488.txt

    In another rule, FDA has failed to require an adequate battery of safety tests. Even with the most rigorous testing, long-term effects will not be known for years and perhaps generations. Without segregation and labeling FDA cannot perform the responsibilities delegated to it by Food and Drug law.

    http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/dockets/99n4282/99n-4282-tr00002.rtf

    The FDA says it is now in a listening mode. If its ears are truly opened, then its conscience should have been touched. What is at stake is the safety of the nation's and ultimately the world's food supply.

    What is troubling is that the government tries to deny that any genetically engineered food has caused harm.
    It is just running away from reality.

    Labeling and long-term safety testing are only two steps in that process and we should not go another day without them. It is unfair, unsafe and unwise. As the evidence continues to come out, it is no longer rhetorical to ask what the industry is trying to hide by not labeling these foods, and why the insurance companies will not touch bioengineered food.

    As mentioned on the earlier panel, rBGH has been rejected in every major industrialized nation. In fact, a recent report by Health Canada indicates that the FDA misreported the findings of Monsanto's ninety-day rat feeding study. Even the heavily corporate-influenced Kodak's alimentary commission has refused to certify the safety of rBGH despite heavy pressure from the United States. Yet, we are forced to eat and drink products from cows injected with rBGH in secret because of prohibitive labeling requirements written for the FDA by a Monsanto employee.

    There are several actions that need to be taken that are out of the FDA's hands, including ratification of the conventional and biological diversity for which it is shameful that the United States has not signed.

    The greatest controversy in FDA history was the approval process for Monsanto's genetically engineered bovine growth hormone. We shouldn't be here today. We should not be in this room, and I shouldn't be here because in 1994 Congress had a Bill that was going to require mandatory labeling of all foods that were influenced by genetic engineering.

    When Monsanto made their genetically engineered bovine growth hormone, they noticed that laboratory animals were getting cancer, and they noticed that cows were getting mastitis, ulcers on their udders; they were putting more pus and bacteria into the milk. In 1958 Robert Delaney, a Congressman from New York, put in a Delaney Amendment. It was named after him. The Delaney Amendment stated that if a food additive caused cancer it was not to be approved -- pretty good law, right?

    Well, Monsanto got their attorney, Michael Taylor from the firm of King and Spaulding -- by the way, when they started in 1979 they groomed their attorney now in the Supreme Court,Clarence Thomas, the same law firm -- Monsanto's attorney, Michael Taylor wrote and minimized the Delaney Amendment, an interpretation of the Delaney Amendment which became the new protocol, the new standard operating procedure at FDA. They minimized cancer. Michael Taylor was hired by the Food and Drug Administration and became the second most powerful man there, Monsanto's attorney. He wrote the standard operating procedures. In other words, we see cancer; ignore it.

    Margaret Miller, Susan Sechen, Monsanto's scientists, were hired by the FDA to review Monsanto's own research. M
    argaret Miller knew cows were getting mastitis. The first week at the FDA, December 3, 1989, she was given broad power -- and here is an effect of genetic engineering nobody has considered -- she knew cows were getting sick from the genetically engineered hormone; she changed the amount of antibiotics that farmers could have in their milk. She increased it by 100 times.

    Jerome Moore's paper said “if there is a middle of the chain protein change there could be Alzheimer's, or sickle cell anemia, or diabetes. Monsanto, four months after the hormone was approved, one of their scientists, Bernard Violand, published, in the July 3, 1994 issue of the journal Protein Science evidence that Monsanto made a mistake. Oops! Monsanto created a freak amino acid!

    It seems to me that we are embarking on a dangerous path from which we cannot return and this government is making a grave error in judgment by not exercising more prudence.

    Given the history of repeated assurances by the government and corporations and a long list of technologies such as pesticides, antibiotics or RbGH that were all declared safe based on research and then to find out, a few years later, that
    crucial evidence was not evaluated properly or even suppressed and now are shown to be unsafe.

    I have come to have little or no confidence in the government's ability to exercise sound judgment in these matters on its own. The bottom line is that we don't need genetic engineering. This path primarily benefits those who are reaping the profits. - Mafia DRUG dealers-GENOCIDE !

    I do not appreciate being treated as a guinea pig. I believe genetic engineering violates nature and I am deeply concerned that we have no way of cleaning up any unintended environmental catastrophes.

    =========================================

    My initial investigation began after I contacting the DEQ, ONDCP, DEA, EPA, FDA and Homeland Security and none of them responded concerning their “decontamination policy or procedures”. I served the people of my communities in Louisiana as a volunteer and professional Fireman for 10 years, during that time I was fortunate enough to experience every aspect of human emotions from an anticipated child birth to the unexpected loss of a child by fire, murder, and other accidental forms of death. I also received enough HAZ-MAT training to KNOW the proper way to begin cleaning up this environmental disaster.

    WE are ALL partially synthetic, man made, which means WE will eventually eliminate ourselves from existence. I feel like the life of “mankind” is irrelevant compared to other serious issues such as the destruction of ALL NATURAL LIVING CREATURES. What WE have allowed to happen will not potentially, but certainly, continue to further destroy all opportunities this EARTH has to provide a place of “normal” life in the future. WE have already began to mutate.

    I may not be able to ’fix’ it, but I know exactly how keep this problem from getting worse.



    Sincerely,

    ME

    the world is always about t0o end..thats just like saying people realize we are both too smart & too stupid to know how to keep from destroying ourselves sure u can say its cause we are evil, but the reality is we are simply too immature as a species to know how to control our own intelect & emotions we have the ability to figure out how to kill millions in seconds but not the maturity to know we shouldnt try it at least once we have the intelect to know pulution is a bad thing yet lack the maturity to not polute
    we have the intelect to know we are slowly ddestroying our plannet & ourselves yet lack the maturity to accept responcibility
    so go ahead..blame it on god satan fate..whatever you want.. ..or you can grow up..accept responcibility & do whats neded to prevent the end (or do the christian thing & just sit back & wait for it & accpt it as inevitable) thats why i feel christianity is the worse thing for the plsanet & christianity will cause the end of th world eventualy by theyre stuborn insistance that it must be just around the corner

    omg,,
    wtf do you think I'm trying to do, blame it on you?!
    by pointing out the source and the facts that we are being poisoned, I am not trying to blame it on one person or organization ,,, AM I !?

    read that again, and pay attention the last words I say please.
