Without knowing it, Americans eat genetically modified (GM) food everyday. While the food and chemical industries claim that GMO food is safe, a considerable amount of evidence shows otherwise. In Seeds of Deception, Jeffrey Smith, a former executive with the leading independent laboratory testing for GM presence in foods, documents these serious health dangers and explains how corporate influence and government collusion have been used to cover them up. The stories Smith presents read like a mystery novel. Scientists are offered bribes or threatened; evidence is stolen; data withheld or distorted. Government scientists who complain are stripped of responsibilities or fired. The FDA even withheld information from congress after a GM food supplement killed nearly a hundred people and permanently disabled thousands. While Smith was employed by the laboratory he was not allowed to speak on the health dangers or the cover-up. No longer bound by this agreement, Smith now reveals what he knows in this groundbreaking exposé. Today, food companies sell GM foods that have not undergone safety studies. FDA scientists opposed this, but White House and industry pressure prevailed and the agency's final policy--co-authored by a former Monsanto attorney--denied the risks. The scientists' concerns were made public only after a lawsuit forced the agency to turn over internal documents. Dan Glickman, former Secretary of Agriculture, describes the government's pro-biotech mindset: "You felt like you were almost an alien, disloyal, by trying to present an open-minded view. . . . So I pretty much spouted the rhetoric. . . . It was written into my speeches." In Seeds of Deception Smith offers easy-to-understand descriptions of genetic engineering and explains why it can result in serious health problems. This well-documented, pivotal work will show you how to protect yourself and your family.

全球畅销书作家杰弗里•M.史密斯（Jeffrey M. Smith）是说明转基因生物产品健康危害的首席代言人，“基因免费学校”运动的发起人，“负责的技术”研究所的执行主席，电视栏目《儿童食品的安全隐患》和纪录片《转基因生物三部曲》的独立制作人。1998年，为了让公众更好地认识到转基因农作物对健康和环境的危害性，他参加了美国议员竞选，成为美国国会转基因食品市场监测实验室的副主席。2003年，他写了第一本有关转基因食物的书《种子的欺骗》，阐述转基因食物严重而未知的副作用。该书以其令全球敬仰的专业研究和与读者充满魅力的交流风格吸引了公众的目光，成为有关转基因食物健康风险方面的全球最畅销书，并被认为能激发消费者改变购物习惯，转而购买更安全的非转基因食物。2007年，他又在新书《转基因赌局》中，揭露了有关转基因生物安全性试验的内部文件，再次引起读者的共鸣。 目前，他已在数家非盈利机构的董事会和政府部门的基因问题研究部门工作超过十年以上。他走访过32个国家，与那里的官员会晤，并在国际会议上发言。他的著作与言论影响了世界各地的人群，并改变了部分国家的相关政策。全球几乎所有最重要的媒体都报导过或正在报导他的研究工作。 史密斯拥有工商管理硕士学位，如今与妻子住在美国爱荷华州，那里到处都种植着转基因玉米和大豆。 作者的网站：http://www.seedsofdeception.com/Public/Home/index.cfm。
