Buckle your seatbelts… we’re going there! Today we talk in-depth about genetically modified organisms, better known as GMOs. This is not exactly my field of study and certainly a very controversial issue, so I’ve asked Jeffrey Smith, man behind the compelling new documentary Secret Ingredients, to shed some light on the topic for us.
For more than two decades, Jeffrey’s research has exposed how biotech companies misled policymakers and the public to further the cause of GMO crops, putting the health of society and the environment at risk. You may know of him through his feature-length documentary Genetic Roulette: The Gamble of Our Lives, which was seen by millions worldwide and received many awards. His new film also links genetically engineered food to toxic and allergic reactions, infertility, digestive disorders, and many other chronic problems that have been on the rise in the U.S.
