’Genetic modified food safe – so far’: Israeli scientist
An Israeli scientist defended the genetic engineering of food for human consumption as a means of improving the production and nutrition of plants, as well as reducing the need for pesticides. Gad Galili, head of the Mel Dobrin Centre for Nutrition at the Weizmann Institute of Science, said no health risks have been associated with genetically modified (GM) crops after more than 10 years of commercial production on some 120 million hectares of land. He was a guest speaker at a panel discussion on nutrition and health, sponsored by Weizmann Science Canada and designed for women.
