  2. The Gene Revolution

  3. 40 species of weeds resistant to RoundUp in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and half of the US, in 100 M acres of corn, soya, and cotton.

  4. RoundUp 2,4-D

  5. Gene flow

  6. The bacterial transgenes can spread from transgenic crops to soil bacteria Genetic pollution Lateral gene transfer

  7. Human volunteers fed engineered soybeans showed that engineered DNA resist digestion and is detectable in the intestine. There is lateral gene transfer to gut bacteria. Genetic pollution Lateral gene transfer

  8. Substantial Equivalence Lateral gene transfer

  9. In 1996 the toxicologists of the FDA predicted that engineered foods would contain rogue proteins that could be toxic, or cause allergies, nutritional deficiencies, and other diseases. Biotechnology 2004 Lateral gene transfer

  10. 43 proteins in engineered corn plants were significantly disrupted, compared to non GE plants Journal of Proteome Research Lateral gene transfer

  11. Engineered corn, soybean and canola all have variant proteins, different from what the biotech Industry reports. Institute of Public Health, Brussels, Belgium. Lateral gene transfer
