A comprehensive and accessible survey of the best current accomplishments of GMO research in all their complexity and ramifications. The authors introduce the fundamentals of biotechnology as a scientific discipline, show how GMO research is conducted today, discuss the problems that have arisen from genetic technology and the tools needed to resolve them, and describes how GMO-derived technology may impact our lives in the future. On the technical side, the authors examine a wide range of current technologies employed for constructing GMOs, and describe approaches to novel research, appropriate protocols, and the process of constructing and screening a GMO. The discussion of plant and animal cells covers new strategies employed and the large-scale expression and purification of recombinant products in cultured cells. Social political, and legal issues are also discussed.

Providing an exhaustive background on the history of genetically modified organism (GMO) crops and foods as well as the controversies surrounding these products, this book allows readers to develop their own particular viewpoint on the production and use of GMO substances. Genetic engineering has long been used to impart desirable characteristics to food plants in order to improve crop yield, pest resistance, and herbicide tolerance. Genetic modification of foods, however, has created a storm of controversy everywhere in the world—including the United States. What are the benefits of and risks involved with genetically modified organisms (GMO) and crops? What powerful industry pressures have extended the sale and use of GMO foods and crops globally? And how should consumer food products that involve GM ingredients be labeled? GMO Food: A Reference Handbook addresses these questions and the complex issues involved, allowing readers to fully understand why genetically modified organisms represent one of the most important issues in the 21st century. The book provides clear, factual information and background on the history of genetically modified crops and foods, covering topics such as the historic methods of plant and animal modification (such as cross-breeding) and important discoveries in genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetic engineering, and related fields; the social, political, philosophical, and economic issues that have arisen with these scientific advances; and the laws and regulations that have resulted from the range of attitudes about GMO foods. The book also supplies additional resources for readers performing extensive research in an annotated bibliography of books, articles, reports, and web pages.

"GMO crops are scientifically created to BE poisonous and to ABSORB poison." "The American chemical industry, having taken control of agriculture, has achieved something never before accomplished in the history of mankind: humans who are simultaneously overfed and undernourished...and poisoned." The GMO Food Poison Handbook is a summary of GMOs (genetically modified organisms), 'food products' created by Monsanto and other chemical companies. In simple terms it describes how the various GMO 'food products' create biological and medical problems, including birth defects, cancer, and diabetes. To better inform the reader, the Handbook provides simple descriptions of 20 body organs which are affected, as well as the nature of allergies, obesity, and cancer - and the male and female reproductive organs, including the fetus in the womb. As an interesting part of the description, the function of each body part is explained - so the Handbook is also a 'Biology for Beginners' in clearly explaining basic biology with illustrations. Most disturbing are the results of studies which reveal that these GMO 'food' toxins remain inside of our intestines and continuously reproduce! The reader will also learn how the GMO crops poison the world's soil, water, and air, and destroy the natural habitat of bacteria, bees, and fish. A ready reference book, the GMO Food Poison Handbook provides a clear summary of studies from renowned research scientists in thirty (30) countries (with links to those studies for those who wish to see them in depth), and comments from journalists around the world. If you eat, you will want to read this book!

Dear Chef Alain. Thank you for caring and having the initiative of creating a book that will help bring much needed information about GMOs. This amazing book, will help us all live healthier lives, while also caring for the environment. Thank you for thinking ahead and caring not only for our health , but also for the future of the Earth. Wishing you the best in health. One Planet for all, all for one Planet. – Rachel Parent. Founder, Kids Right To Know. Twitter: @RachelsNews What a wonderful resource, Chef Alain Braux has created for us! In his 5th book on food and health, Alain Braux explores the dark sides of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in our environment. He reviews how GMOs came to be and then became a major force in our current agricultural and industrial environment and, most importantly, how GMOs are beginning to adversely affect our health. Chef Alain explores the negative effects of GMOs on our immune systems, increasing the risk of developing food allergies, leading to the development of autoimmune diseases. The book also includes a comprehensive list of genetically engineered ingredients hidden in our food supply. What most of us do not realize is that GMOs are also used in the manufacturing of many vitamins and nutritional supplements! Chef Alain has given us the ultimate reference guide to keeping GMOs out of your life! As a practicing physician, a clinical researcher and a champion of using “Food As Medicine”, I highly recommend this book. If you care about your health, your family’s health, and the future of humanity this book is for you. – Dr. Terry Wahls. Clinical professor of Medicine, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa, U. S. A. Author, The Wahls Protocol. How I Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles and Functional Medicine at TerryWahls.com Chef Alain has provided a wonderful introduction for some, and resource for others wanting to expand their knowledge of GM foods. He’s written an accurate account of the beginning of the GMO takeover of our food system, while disproving the seed oligarchies propaganda and myths, and covering the many health concerns that are constantly present in our grocery stores. It covers the many important facts that are part of this issue, I wish for anyone trying to gain more knowledge of their food to read this book. – Birke Baehr. Internationally-known Youth Food Advocate, Author, Public Speaker, and Future Farmer in organic and sustainable farming practices at Birke on the Farm As a chef, Alain Braux has a deep appreciation for good-tasting, nutritious, and sustainably produced food. At the same time, he has a deep concern for foods that pose risks to our health and the environment, such as genetically engineered foods. He clearly expresses his concerns in GMO 101. A Practical Guide to Genetically Engineered Food. In this comprehensive book, Chef Alain describes the history of genetically engineered foods, how they are made, and, most importantly, how they threaten our health. He also lists, in incredible detail, the foods and ingredients that are derived from GMOs. In order to stop this uncontrolled experiment on our food, more and more people must become aware of this threat. GMO 101. A Practical Guide to Genetically Engineered Food is an excellent tool to learn about GMOs and to avoid them. – Ken Roseboro.

Identity-Preserved Systems: A Reference Handbook provides background for the development of processes or systems of maintaining the segregation of and documenting the identity of a product. Growers and other parties that handle, transport, condition, or process the identity-preserved (IP) product must follow strict growing and handling practices, including segregation, inspections, and cleaning of equipment to prevent other varieties from mixing with or contaminating the IP variety. The key to this system is traceability. Each production, processing, and delivery step is documented, so that products can be traced from the store shelf back to the farmers' fields and every stage in between. The need for Identity Preservation (IP) is rapidly becoming of major importance in the world trade of agricultural crops that are enhanced genetically, grown under specific conditions, or have specific characteristics which must be identified and maintained from the seed planted to the delivery of the crop to the end-user. The handbook serves as an authoritative resource that unifies IP efforts, outlines the protocols for IP systems, and includes an operational manual that may be used at any point in the value-chain of the production and marketing effort. This handbook describes an overall identity-preserved (IP) system, which may be utilized in ways that will meet the particular needs of the parties involved in specific trade agreements. It discusses the background of IP systems originating in the seed industry, the basics of a total IP system, and the potential electronic transfer of data and documents. By using the system of identity-preserved verification provided in Identity-Preserved Systems, the seed, specialty crop, and grain and oilseed industries can easily provide products that are identified with a paper trail verifying identity, product quality, and special characteristics.

It is often claimed that the case against genetically modified (GM) crops and foods is based on emotion, not science, and that to oppose GM crop and food technology is to be anti-science. It is also claimed that GM crops offer higher yields and better nutrition, that they are safe for health and the environment, that they reduce agrochemical use, and that they are needed to feed the world’s growing population. This book, co-authored by two genetic engineers and a writer/researcher, exposes these claims as false, using scientific and other documented evidence. GMO Myths and Truths summarizes the facts on the safety and efficacy of genetically modified (GM) crops and foods in terms that are accessible to the non-scientist but still relevant to scientists, policymakers and educators. The evidence presented points to many hazards, risks, and limitations of genetic engineering technology. These include harms found in animal feeding and ecological studies, which in turn indicate risks to health and the environment posed by GM crops and foods. The layout of the book enables those readers with limited time to read the chapter summaries, while providing more detail and full references for those who require them. At 164 pages of paperback size, this new condensed version is shorter and more accessible than the authors’ 330-page report by the same name, which has been downloaded over half a million times. The book shows that conventional breeding continues to outstrip GM in developing crops that deliver high yields, better nutrition, and tolerance to extreme weather conditions and poor soils. In agreement with over 400 international experts who co-authored a UN and World Bank-sponsored report on the future of farming, the authors conclude that modern agroecology, rather than GM, is the best path for feeding the world’s current and future populations in a safe and sustainable way.

A number of questions and concerns about food biotechnologies have been raised, and governments are expected to address them in an effective and timely manner. However, providing science-based but easy-to-digest answers requires a certain level of understanding of the subject and good communication skill sets, therefore preparedness is key. During the Global Community Meeting of the FAO GM Foods Platform in 2019, the strong need for a set of science-based information materials was expressed at a global level to support the generation of communication strategies and materials which could help to address the public communication challenges surrounding food biotechnologies at a national level. The present FAO Information toolkit on food biotechnologies with a focus on food safety serves as a basis to assist countries in addressing the general public’s concerns on food biotechnology and food safety, to support them in raising awareness of the science of food biotechnologies and food safety and to inform discussions and decisions. It consists of one handbook providing an instruction manual for the whole set of documents and ten booklets, referred to as tools, and which cover background information, general information on the scientific aspects of food biotechnologies and food safety, the rationale behind the claimed benefits of genetically modified (GM) foods, GM food safety assessments and regulations. The tools also touch upon aspects related to human health and the environment, the practical uses and applications, the recent developments and innovations, possibilities to engage with the public.

Some would have us believe that the case against genetically modified (GM) crops and foods is based on emotion, not science, and that to oppose GM crop and food technology is to be anti-science. The same people claim that GM crops offer higher yields and better nutrition, that they are safe for health and the environment, that they reduce agrochemical use, and that they are needed to feed the world's growing population. This book, co-authored by two genetic engineers and a writer/researcher, exposes these claims as false, using scientific and other documented evidence. GMO Myths and Truths summarizes the facts on the safety and efficacy of GM crops and foods in terms that are accessible to the non-scientist but still relevant to scientists, policymakers and educators. The evidence presented points to many hazards, risks, and limitations of genetic engineering technology. These include harm found in animal feeding and ecological studies, which in turn indicate risks to health and the environment posed by GM crops and foods. This updated 4th edition includes a new chapter on genome-editing techniques, which are being promoted as crucial to the future of food and agriculture. It explains why these techniques are genetic modification procedures, why genome-edited foods and crops pose similar risks to health and the environment as old-style transgenic GM methods, and why consumers should insist that these products are strictly regulated and labelled. The new edition is also updated with new research pointing to the health dangers of the pesticides associated with GM crops. The layout of the book enables those readers with limited time to read the chapter summaries, while providing more detail and full references for those who require them. The book shows that conventional breeding continues to outstrip GM in developing crops that deliver high yields, better nutrition, and tolerance to extreme weather conditions and poor soils.
