The Institute for Responsible Technology (IRT)
The Institute for Responsible Technology is a world leader in educating policy makers and the public about genetically modified (GM) foods and crops. We investigate and report their risks and impact on health, environment, the economy, and agriculture, as well as the problems associated with current research, regulation, corporate practices, and reporting.
Founded in 2003 by international bestselling author and consumer advocate, Jeffrey Smith, IRT has worked in over 40 countries on 6 continents, and is credited with improving government policies and influencing consumer-buying habits.
Here is a list of sections from the whole document. You need to go to the website mentioned above to read it.
A summary of the 65 Health Risks
Presented in Genetic Roulette by Jeffrey Smith
The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods
Section 1: Evidence of reactions in animals and humans
Section 2: Gene insertion disrupts the DNA and can create unpredictable health problems
Section 3: The protein produced by the inserted gene may create problems
Section 4: The foreign protein may be different than what is intended
Section 5: Transfer of genes to gut bacteria, internal organs, or viruses
Section 6: GM crops may increase environmental toxins & bioaccumulate toxins in the food chain
Section 7: Other types of GM foods carry risks
Section 8: Risks are greater for children and newborns
I quote here the last section because it is very important.
8.1 Pregnant mothers eating GM foods may endanger offspring
1. Embryo development can be adversely affected by tiny amounts of substances in the mother’s diet.
2. A pregnant mother’s diet may even alter gene expression in children and be passed on to future generations.
3. GM crops may contain substances that impact normal fetal development, but have never been adequately tested for these effects.
8.2 GM foods are more dangerous for children than adults
1. Children are generally more susceptible to toxins, allergens and nutritional problems.
2. They consume more milk which may be from cows treated with rbGH.
3. The emergence of antibiotic-resistant diseases may also significantly impact those children who are prone to recurring infections.
Jeffrey Smith made the documentary: Genetic Roulette, which was subsequently censored and banned by Youtube, Facebook, Google+ and more.

Thanks. That vimeo points to the correct video but your other link shows "Unlawful Killing Of Princess Diana"
Here is the correct link for the Genetic Roulette:

Genetic Roulette is back in youtube. :)
Important discussion.
