6. The biotech industry uses “tobacco science” to claim product safety.
Biotech companies like Monsanto told us that Agent Orange, PCBs, and DDT
were safe. They are now using the same type of superficial, rigged
research to try and convince us that GMOs are safe. Independent
scientists, however, have caught the spin-masters red-handed,
demonstrating without doubt how industry-funded research is designed to
avoid finding problems, and how adverse findings are distorted or
denied.

Hillary Clinton Serves as Cheerleader for GMOs at Biotech Event (But What’s She Eating at Home)?
http://althealthworks.com/2739/hillary-clinton-serves-as-cheerleader-for-gmos-at-biotech-event-but-whats-she-eating-at-home/
Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton appeared at the BIO International Convention on Wednesday, June 25 and made comments that confirmed what most in the growing natural and organic food movement already know: she’s pro-GMO through and through (at least when it comes to other people), much like the other big money politicians from the two major political parties.
Of course the federal government already produces huge subsidies for the commodity crops corn and soy, which are mostly GMO in the United States (over 90% each); many non-GMO farmers have say they’ve been forced to abandon growing these crops due to the cross contamination risk they pose and thus are not able to take advantage of such subsidies.
As noted in this article from 2009, Hillary Clinton has deep ties with the Biotech, GMO and agrochemical industries.
But at home, Hillary seems adamant about what she wants in her own garden and on her own dinner table as noted in this article.

WHO ARE YOU GOING TO BELIEVE? MONSANTO OR AGENT ORANGE, PCB'S AND ROUNDUP
In a study released by the International Journal of Biological Sciences, analyzing the effects of genetically modified foods on mammalian health, researchers found that agricultural giant Monsanto's GM corn is linked to organ damage in rats.
Monsanto has immediately responded to the study, stating that the research is "based on faulty analytical methods and reasoning and do not call into question the safety findings for these products."
The IJBS study's author Gilles-Eric Séralini responded
"Our study contradicts Monsanto conclusions because Monsanto systematically neglects significant health effects in mammals that are different in males and females eating GMOs, or not proportional to the dose. This is a very serious mistake, dramatic for public health. This is the major conclusion revealed by our work, the only careful reanalysis of Monsanto crude statistical data."
