Bt Toxin DOES Harm Human Cells – Study
This story is important. The FDA claims that the pesticide Bt-toxin, inserted into corn and cotton plants in order to kill insects, is harmless to humans and animals. They have ignored peer reviewed studies in the past, showing that the natural soil-born toxin does lead to allergic and flu-like symptoms in exposed humans, and intestinal tissue damage and immune responses in mice fed the toxin.
We also know that mice fed Monsanto’s Bt corn showed massive immune system responses. Farm workers in India are getting allergic and flu-like symptoms form touching Bt cotton. And numerous US physicians believe that ingestion of Bt corn may be causing disruption of the digestive system. After all, the toxin is designed to break open the stomach of insects to kill them.

Inspiring story shows shortcut to end GMOs
Read this inspiring story below to find out what is possible with your financial support. I think it’s a real eye opener for those who think ending GMOs is a long, drawn out, and difficult process.
11 minutes
It took the audience just 11 minutes – 11 minutes to give up food brands they had grown up with and to commit to seek healthier non-GMO food. Of course this group had already been against genetically modified organisms as a concept. This was Greenfest after all; and in San Francisco no less. But when I asked them to honestly rate themselves on a scale of 1-100 how vigilant they had been at avoiding GMOs, the largest number of hands went up for lowest category – 1-20. That’s typical of most US audiences. And so is what happened next…

IRT 2011 Highlights
We’ve had a fabulous year working to end GMOs. Thanks to all who participated, supported, read, listened, forwarded, replied, signed, and changed your diet. We invite you to help support our activities in 2012, at a time when most nonprofits (and that includes us!) have seen a severe decline in revenues from foundations.
Please consider a gift to the Institute and help move us closer to ridding our food supply and our environment of GMOs.
And be sure to read the highlights of Jeffrey’s travels, here.
Here are some reflections on our accomplishments in 2011.
Grassroots Mobilization
As public awareness about GMOs started to surge in 2010, pockets of activism spontaneously grew. One of our main goals for 2011 was to organize and expand local non-GMO groups.

10 Reasons to Avoid GMOs
1. GMOs are unhealthy.
Comments Off
The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) urges doctors to prescribe non-GMO diets for all patients. They cite animal studies showing organ damage, gastrointestinal and immune system disorders, accelerated aging, and infertility. Human studies show how genetically modified (GM) food can leave material behind inside us, possibly causing long-term problems. Genes inserted into GM soy, for example, can transfer into the DNA of bacteria living inside us, and that the toxic insecticide produced by GM corn was found in the blood of pregnant women and their unborn fetuses. -

GMO T-Shirt Contest!
UPDATE: Contest deadline extended to August 22, 2011
How do you convey all the vast problems with genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in a simple T-shirt? How do you depict the extensive health dangers, the irreversible contamination of the gene pool, corporate control over farmers and our food supply, the patenting and ownership of life, the enormous loss of biodiversity, the rigged corporate research, the continuous lies about how GMOs offer higher yields and will feed the world, and the long line of independent scientists who’ve been attacked whenever they discover problems—or even criticize the technology. And how can that same T-shirt also convey the feeling of empowerment by making healthier non-GMO choices, the massive consumer revolt now brewing against GMOs, the fact that only a small percentage of consumers can spark a non-GMO tipping point, and the awesome celebration just over the horizon when we re-claim a non-GMO food supply?

Dangerous Toxins From Genetically Modified Plants Found in Women and Fetuses
Watch this two minute video, Double Dipping Danger, produced by Alex Bogusky, and then read about new evidence below showing even more harm from genetically modified foods. Click HERE to play.
When U.S. regulators approved Monsanto’s genetically modified “Bt” corn, they knew it would add a deadly poison into our food supply. That’s what it was designed to do. The corn’s DNA is equipped with a gene from soil bacteria called Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) that produces the Bt-toxin. It’s a pesticide; it breaks open the stomach of certain insects and kills them.
But Monsanto and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) swore up and down that it was only insects that would be hurt. The Bt-toxin, they claimed, would be completely destroyed in the human digestive system and not have any impact on all of us trusting corn-eating consumers.
Oops. A study just proved them wrong.

Cap the Gene Spill
It’s been a year since we started watching BP’s oil spew into the Gulf day after day. Although that’s been plugged and cleanup is underway, a more insidious form of pollution continues without containment, with much longer term consequences. You might
think I’m talking about Fukushima’s nuclear catastrophe. Actually, the pollution I’m referring to about can outlast even thousands of years of active nuclear waste.Watch this two-minute video Cap the Gene Spill, directed by Alex Bogusky, to find out how genes from genetically modified crops self-propagate and permanently alter the gene pool—for all future generations.
