  • bovine growth hormone

    Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility has led a nationwide educational and citizen action campaign opposing this genetically engineered hormone for the past five years.

    We have a short video and the Know Your Milk brochure at our website at www.oregonpsr.org under Campaign For Safe Food that explains why we have so many concerns about it. We encourage you to check them out.

  • Cummings interview

    Thank you for the Claire Cummings interview, but your introductory comments that anyone rejecting GMO's do so "without really understanding the science or economics behind them" is totally off base. Then you make matters even worse by implying that everyone with science and technology backgrounds are all pro-GMO.

    Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility has intensively studied the science, history and politics behind GMO's for the past five years. Our concerns about GMO's aren't instead of science, they're BASED ON science. Unfortunately, science revealing dangers of GMO's tends to get ignored or shoved under the rug.

    As world-renowned geneticist Dr. David Suzuki asserted (one of hundreds, if not thousands, of scientists opposing GMO's), "Once we cross species barriers, we're in brand new territory. We have absolutely no idea what might happen."

    Please keep the interviews coming, but do a little homework to head off the inaccurate, gross generalizations.On Author Claire Hope Cummings dishes the dirt on genetically modified food posted 1 year, 4 months ago 12 Responses
