全球暢銷書作傢傑弗裏•M.史密斯（Jeffrey M. Smith）是說明轉基因生物産品健康危害的首席代言人，“基因免費學校”運動的發起人，“負責的技術”研究所的執行主席，電視欄目《兒童食品的安全隱患》和紀錄片《轉基因生物三部麯》的獨立製作人。1998年，為瞭讓公眾更好地認識到轉基因農作物對健康和環境的危害性，他參加瞭美國議員競選，成為美國國會轉基因食品市場監測實驗室的副主席。2003年，他寫瞭第一本有關轉基因食物的書《種子的欺騙》，闡述轉基因食物嚴重而未知的副作用。該書以其令全球敬仰的專業研究和與讀者充滿魅力的交流風格吸引瞭公眾的目光，成為有關轉基因食物健康風險方麵的全球最暢銷書，並被認為能激發消費者改變購物習慣，轉而購買更安全的非轉基因食物。2007年，他又在新書《轉基因賭局》中，揭露瞭有關轉基因生物安全性試驗的內部文件，再次引起讀者的共鳴。 目前，他已在數傢非盈利機構的董事會和政府部門的基因問題研究部門工作超過十年以上。他走訪過32個國傢，與那裏的官員會晤，並在國際會議上發言。他的著作與言論影響瞭世界各地的人群，並改變瞭部分國傢的相關政策。全球幾乎所有最重要的媒體都報導過或正在報導他的研究工作。 史密斯擁有工商管理碩士學位，如今與妻子住在美國愛荷華州，那裏到處都種植著轉基因玉米和大豆。 作者的網站：http://www.seedsofdeception.com/Public/Home/index.cfm。

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.
