Did you know that the vast majority of genetically engineered crops are engineered to withstand spraying with the herbicide, glyphosate? And that our federal regulators rely on industry research to assess safety? Most consumers have difficulty navigating the he-said, she-said arguments for and against GMOs, but since their introduction, herbicide use has nearly doubled, with implications for public health. Join Food Sleuth Radio host and Registered Dietitian, Melinda Hemmelgarn, for her interview with Charles Benbrook, Ph.D., agricultural economist and member of the USDA s AC 21 biotechnology Agricultural Committee.
