GMO update and interview with Jeffrey Smith by NaturalNews

Highlights from the interview with Jeffrey Smith

• We have created a huge buzz about GMOs that is unprecedented.

• There are many early signs of victories that we're winning the war against GMOs: Supermarket News says that consumer awareness about https://www.naturalnews.com/GMOs.html>GMOs is surging and could equal the level of awareness about trans fats.

• GMOs will soon become a "marketing liability" in the USA, causing companies to announce they are dropping GMOs.

• Education and awareness about GMOs is exploding across North America. Parents, company CEOs, farmers, health food store employees and others are becoming well informed about the dangers of GMOs.

• Public awareness of the dangers of GMOs is skyrocketing, and an increasing number of consumers are actively taking steps to avoid GMOs.

• GMOs were the No. 1 issue talked about at the recent Expo East (Natural Products Expo). It was "over the top," says Jeffrey, meaning that all the https://www.naturalnews.com/natural.html>natu... food companies are talking about this issue.

• 5,500 products have now been enrolled in the Non-GMO Project! (www.NonGMOproject.org)

• Natural health retailers are starting a revolution against GMOs.

• "Non-GMO" is the fastest-growing label claim in the natural products industry.

• Grocery retailers also realize that a non-GMO revolution is fast accelerating in America.

• Why the biotech industry attempts to destroy the credibility of anti-GMO activists by spreading disinformation across the internet.

• The IRT has taught 700 people how to speak on GMOs through full-day seminars and webinars. Knowledge is spreading!

• Why the myth that "GMOs are necessary to feed the world" is complete scientific quackery. https://www.naturalnews.com/Jeffrey_Smith.htm... Smith reveals the real truth of the situation: GMOs actually reduce crop yields!

• Why GMOs are an environmental issue -- gene pool contamination among food crops.

• How genetically engineered crops are resulting in the formation of mutant superweeds which need even more chemicals to eradicate than regular weeds.

• People who are exposed to Roundup have higher rates of birth defects, and Roundup persists in the environment for far longer than previously thought.

• Why GMOs and the use of Roundup herbicides may even be linked to flooding by killing off soil microorganisms and resulting in compacted soils that fail to absorb rainwater like healthy soils do.

• 93% of pregnant women tested had BT insecticide circulating in their own blood.

• Animals that have grazed on BT cotton plants have died in huge numbers.

NaturalNews pledges $15,000 in matching funds to the IRT

About the author:Mike Adams (aka the "Health Ranger") is a best selling author (#1 best selling science book on Amazon.com) and a globally recognized scientific researcher in clean foods. He serves as the founding editor of NaturalNews.com and the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation. Adams is also highly proficient in running liquid chromatography, ion chromatography and mass spectrometry time-of-flight analytical instrumentation.

Adams is a person of color whose ancestors include Africans and Native American Indians. He's also of Native American heritage, which he credits as inspiring his "Health Ranger" passion for protecting life and nature against the destruction caused by chemicals, heavy metals and other forms of pollution.

Adams is the founder and publisher of the open source science journal Natural Science Journal, the author of numerous peer-reviewed science papers published by the journal, and the author of the world's first book that published ICP-MS heavy metals analysis results for foods, dietary supplements, pet food, spices and fast food. The book is entitled Food Forensics and is published by BenBella Books.

In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.

In addition to his lab work, Adams is also the (non-paid) executive director of the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (CWC), an organization that redirects 100% of its donations receipts to grant programs that teach children and women how to grow their own food or vastly improve their nutrition. Through the non-profit CWC, Adams also launched Nutrition Rescue, a program that donates essential vitamins to people in need. Click here to see some of the CWC success stories.

With a background in science and software technology, Adams is the original founder of the email newsletter technology company known as Arial Software. Using his technical experience combined with his love for natural health, Adams developed and deployed the content management system currently driving NaturalNews.com. He also engineered the high-level statistical algorithms that power SCIENCE.naturalnews.com, a massive research resource featuring over 10 million scientific studies.

Adams is well known for his incredibly popular consumer activism video blowing the lid on fake blueberries used throughout the food supply. He has also exposed "strange fibers" found in Chicken McNuggets, fake academic credentials of so-called health "gurus," dangerous "detox" products imported as battery acid and sold for oral consumption, fake acai berry scams, the California raw milk raids, the vaccine research fraud revealed by industry whistleblowers and many other topics.

Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.

In addition to his activism, Adams is an accomplished musician who has released over a dozen popular songs covering a variety of activism topics.
