Do you have questions or concerns regarding genetically engineered (GE) foods and human health? If so, we are excited to announce a national speaker's tour addressing this issue. The GE Foods and Human Health: A Canadian Speaker's Tour seeks to provide the Canadian public with an opportunity to discuss their concerns around GE foods from a scientific and regulatory perspective. The tour will feature a presentation by Dr. Thierry Vrain, a retired soil biologist and genetic engineer who, after a 30-year career with Agriculture Canada, no longer supports GE technology.
Alarmed by the avalanche of scientific studies out of Europe raising many concerns about the long-term safety of GE foods, including the allergenic potential of GE plants containing rogue proteins and organ damage in rats fed GE foods over a few months, Dr. Vrain is intent on increasing public awareness about this growing issue and having the federal agencies in the US and Canada take notice. Dr. Shiv Chopra, a former Health Canada senior scientific advisor who blew the whistle on bovine growth hormone (rBGH), several additional hormones, antibiotics, and various other products endangering public health, will accompany Dr. Vrain on Nov 19 for the rest of the tour across western Canada. Dr. Chopra is a graduate of veterinary medicine. He holds an MSc and PhD in Microbiology and is a fellow of the World Health Organization. His book, Corrupt to the Core: Memoirs of a Health Canada Whistleblower, is an international best seller. A world-renowned speaker, Dr. Chopra is featured in many nationally acclaimed documentaries.
Co-presented by GE Free BC, Greenpeace Vancouver Local Group, GE Free Nanaimo and The MidIsland Chapter of the Council of CanadianVancouver Island University, Nanaimo Campus, Building 356 Room 109 - 900 Fifth St Nanaimo, BC V9R 5S5
