The biotech industry’s claim that genetically modified foods are safe is shattered in this book by noted health expert, Jeffrey M. Smith. Nearly 65 health risks found in foods Americans eat daily are presented in easy-to-read two-page spreads. The left page is designed for the quick scanning reader; it includes bullets, illustrations and quotes. The right side offers fully referenced text, describing both research studies and theoretical risks.

The second half of Genetic Roulette explores why children are most at risk, how to avoid GM foods, false claims by biotech advocates, how industry research is rigged to avoid finding problems, why GM crops are not needed to feed the world, the economic losses associated with these crops and more.
