New on ISN: What Will The World Inherit From GE Salmon?
Independent Science News has just published “What Will The World Inherit From GE Salmon?” by Dr. Gerry Goeden.
Article Synopsis: Ten percent of Norwegian salmon rivers no longer have any wild salmon populations, and Norwegian wild salmon as a whole have declined by 80% since the 1970s. This disappearance of wild salmon is not limited to Norway, it is a global phenomenon. The explanation is not the standard one of overfishing. Instead, it is primarily read more…
New BSR Resource Page: Human Genetic Predispositions – the hidden politics of genomic science
Most modern medical research assumes that inherited genetic predispositions underlie the current epidemics of (non-infectious) diseases and disorders. A partial list includes type II diabetes, heart disease, cancer, autism, various mental illnesses, myopia, and stroke. Historically, this genetic determinist paradigm in medicine was driven by tobacco industry funding. The industry calculated read more…
New on ISN: How “Extreme Levels” of Roundup in Food Became the Industry Norm
Published on Tuesday March 25th on Independent Science News: “How “Extreme Levels” of Roundup in Food Became the Industry Norm” by Thomas Bøhn and Marek Cuhra.
Article Synopsis: Many GMO crops are resistant to Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup (active ingredient: glyphosate). This resistance allows farmers to spray the herbicide over the crop to control weeds. As weeds in the US and elsewhere have increasingly gained resistance to Roundup, farmers have been spraying more herbicide more often. Yet read more…

Researchers Uncover Multiple Sources of Bias in GMO Risk Assessments
The GMO risk assessment process claimed to protect the public acts instead to protect industry. Scientists Hartmut Meyer and Angelika Hilbeck reviewed Monsanto’s rat toxicology studies on GM maize NK603 and identified flawed methods that bias results in industries’ favor. One such method is the use of multiple unrelated ‘pseudo-controls’ that make aberrant results look normal. Pseudo-controls have become a common component of other GMO risk studies, not only feeding trials. Meyer and Hilbeck also found that GMO studies routinely fail to use read more…
