The Truth About Cancer<br />
even organic agriculture has been linked to inflammation, immune<br />
problems, and also tissue damage in mice, but immune problems in<br />
humans. BT toxin pokes holes in <strong>the</strong> cell walls of insects and breaks<br />
open <strong>the</strong>ir stomach to kill <strong>the</strong>m. it’s now found to poke holes in human<br />
cells. So this means that it might create leaky gut or holes in <strong>the</strong> walls of<br />
our intestines that allow undigested food proteins, chemicals and<br />
bacteria directly into <strong>the</strong> blood stream. And this is linked to <strong>cancer</strong>. it’s<br />
also linked to autism, autoimmune disease, food allergies, inflammation<br />
in general, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, a whole host of diseases and<br />
disorders. The FDA does not require a single safety study on GMOs.<br />
Now this was determined in a policy in 1992 that was overseen by<br />
Michael Taylor. Michael Taylor is <strong>the</strong> former attorney to Monsanto. And<br />
he was given a position that was designed for him by <strong>the</strong> FDA when <strong>the</strong><br />
agency was told by <strong>the</strong> White House to promote GMOs. And Taylor’s<br />
policy falsely claimed that <strong>the</strong> agency wasn’t aware of information<br />
showing that GMOs were significantly differently, <strong>the</strong>refore, no testing or<br />
labeling was necessary. Companies like Monsanto could determine on<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir own if <strong>the</strong>ir GMOs are safe. And Monsanto told us that agent<br />
orange and PCBs and DDT were safe and got that wrong, maybe <strong>the</strong>y’ll<br />
get it right with GMO’s is <strong>the</strong> thinking by <strong>the</strong> FDA. Taylor <strong>the</strong>m became<br />
Monsanto’s vice president and chief lobbyist, now he’s back at <strong>the</strong> FDA<br />
as <strong>the</strong> US food safety Czar.<br />
Ty: it’s almost like you have <strong>the</strong> fox guarding <strong>the</strong> hen house.<br />
Jeffrey Smith: it’s more than almost. We have a situation where <strong>the</strong><br />
claims in <strong>the</strong> policy, <strong>the</strong>y weren’t aware of information showing that<br />
GMOs were different, was a complete lie. It was a total fabrication. The<br />
lawsuit forced 44 thousand secret FDA memos into <strong>the</strong> public domain<br />
and it showed that <strong>the</strong> overwhelming consensus among <strong>the</strong> scientists<br />
working at <strong>the</strong> FDA was exactly <strong>the</strong> opposite. They said GMOs might<br />
create allergens, toxins, new diseases, and nutritional problems, urged<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir superiors to require testing, complained <strong>about</strong> <strong>the</strong> draft of <strong>the</strong><br />
policy and <strong>the</strong>ir concerns were ignored and even denied.<br />
Ty: Now when you say that <strong>the</strong>y are not significantly, or at least<br />
Monsanto said <strong>the</strong>y are not significantly different than what<br />
Jeffrey Smith: Thank <strong>the</strong> normal foods.<br />
Ty: The normal food<br />
Jeffrey Smith: Right.<br />
