by Suzanne Piscopo 31 Jan '19

31 Jan '19

Lessons from around the world. Regards, Suzanne T*he second report in the WCRF Building Momentum series has just been released. It explores how to implement a front-of-pack food label (FOPL) by taking the lessons learned from governments all over the world who have already developed and implemented a FOPL.* *These labels are an effective and appropriate policy measure to tackle the growing burden caused by diet-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cancer, by helping consumers make informed, healthier choices. Yet labels continue to be hotly debated. * *READ MORE HERE* *https://gallery.mailchimp.com/61881cc07a526eec912bffa9f/files/0b6775fb-227e-47fa-969f-1208dfe1e9e2/PPA_Building_Momentum_Report_2_WEB.pdf <https://gallery.mailchimp.com/61881cc07a526eec912bffa9f/files/0b6775fb-227e…>* Head of Department, Department of Health, Physical Education and Consumer Studies (HPECS) Faculty of Education, University of Malta Associate Professor, Nutrition, Family and Consumer Studies R.Nutr; R.European Health Promotion Practitioner Fellow Institute of Food Science and Technology CTEFLA

Rigging the Science of GMO Ecotoxicity

More negative research for GMOs. We need to have more research on agrochemicals and genetic engineering and their impact on our earth and people.

They are commonly inserted into GMO crops, some of which now contain six different transgenic versions. A large body of research has now shown, to the discomfort of the biotech industry, that these toxins can have major effects on beneficial and other non-pest organisms. Our investigation has uncovered that some academics, including one with very close ties to industry, have secretively started adding chemical antidotes to their ecological test diets. These test diets can be expected–and some already have–to give Cry toxins a clean bill of health in ecological toxicity tests. This research is additionally being used to discredit previously gathered evidence of Cry toxin harm. > > Please share if you find this work of value.
