Keep our Food Healthy- Genetically Engineered Food and Human Health Cross Country Tour with Dr's Shiv Chopra and Thierry Vrain
On November 24th, 2013, this presentation was held by donation at Okanagan College 7pm preceded by AGM of Kelowna Chapter of the Council of Canadians . Here is a link to our YouTube Channel that houses the video recordings of that talk:http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv_3P68179lB1vJKBRrHo5Q
Do you have questions or concerns regarding genetically engineered (GE) foods and human
health? If so, this fall and winter, the Society for a GE Free BC and Greenpeace Vancouver
Local Group are excited to announce a national speaker’s tour addressing this issue.
Scheduled to run from November 2013 to February 2014, 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 for most of the tour. 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.
