05/22/09 - A Moratorium on Genetically Manipulated (GMO) Foods -- by F. William Engdahl -- US Doctors? association calls for Moratorium on GMO -- The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) has just issued a call for an immediate moratorium on Genetically Manipulated (GMO) Foods. In a just-released position paper on GMO foods, the AAEM states that 'GM foods pose a serious health risk' and calls for a moratorium on GMO foods. Citing several animal studies, the AAEM concludes ?there is more than a casual association between GMO foods and adverse health effects? and that ?GM foods pose a serious health risk in the areas of toxicology, allergy and immune function, reproductive health, and metabolic, physiologic and genetic health.? The report is a devastating blow to the multibillion dollar international agribusiness industry, most especially to Monsanto Corporation, the world?s leading purveyor of GMO seeds and related herbicides.
