Dear Alain, thank you so much for GMOs 101. It is AMAZING! What a resource! I’ve never seen such a vast and comprehensive list of every ingredients under the sun with detailed explanation of what it is and whether or not it may contain GMOs. Thank you so much for this valuable contribution to the collection of educational resources on GMOs.

Have you ever read one of those really scary books? The kind that keeps you up at night but you just… can’t… stop… reading it? This could be one of those books. After reading this book you will have no questions as to what a GMO is, where they can be found, and why you shouldn’t eat them or put them on your skin. This is a practical, easy to read and to access book, with lots of websites and reference sites. Educating yourself is the first important step. I congratulate Alain Braux on his exhaustive (and I mean exhaustive) and excellent research. You have no excuses now…

What a wonderful resource, Chef Alain Braux has created for us! In his 5th book on food and health, Alain Braux explores the dark sides of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in our environment. He reviews how GMOs came to be and then became a major force in our current agricultural and industrial environment and, most importantly, how GMOs are beginning to adversely affect our health.Chef Alain explores the negative effects of GMOs on our immune systems, increasing the risk of developing food allergies, leading to the development of autoimmune diseases. The book also includes a comprehensive list of genetically engineered ingredients hidden in our food supply. What most of us do not realize is that GMOs are also used in the manufacturing of many vitamins and nutritional supplements! Chef Alain has given us the ultimate reference guide to keeping GMOs out of your life!As a practicing physician, a clinical researcher and a champion of using “Food As Medicine”, I highly recommend this book. If you care about your health, your family’s health, and the future of humanity this book is for you.

Chef Alain has provided a wonderful introduction for some, and resource for others wanting to expand their knowledge of GM foods.He’s written an accurate account of the beginning of the GMO takeover of our food system, while disproving the seed oligarchies propaganda and myths, and covering the many health concerns that are constantly present in our grocery stores.It covers the many important facts that are part of this issue, I wish for anyone trying to gain more knowledge of their food to read this book.

As a chef, Alain Braux has a deep appreciation for good-tasting, nutritious, and sustainably produced food. At the same time, he has a deep concern for foods that pose risks to our health and the environment, such as genetically engineered foods.He clearly expresses his concerns in GMO 101. A Practical Guide to Genetically Engineered Food. In this comprehensive book, Chef Alain describes the history of genetically engineered foods, how they are made, and, most importantly, how they threaten our health. He also lists, in incredible detail, the foods and ingredients that are derived from GMOs.In order to stop this uncontrolled experiment on our food, more and more people must become aware of this threat. GMO 101. A Practical Guide to Genetically Engineered Food is an excellent tool to learn about GMOs and to avoid them.

“Moms Across America is proud to endorse this wonderful resource by Chef Alain Braux. His insights as a chef and nutritionist are invaluable. At Moms Across America, we feel the easy way to get around knowing about all of this is simply to eat organic. But for those who wish to know the details about ingredients and why we should avoid GMOs, this book is invaluable. This is an extremely thorough source of information on every type of GMO ingredient available! We highly recommend this book as a guide to looking out for GMOs in the food we eat.”
– Kathleen Hallal, Co-Founder, Moms Across America and Host of The Weekly Women’s GMO Free News.
This book is one of the most amazing GMO Truth guides in existence today, not only clearly detailing the harms, but providing a practical guideline to avoid the known dangers of these genetically engineered and agrochemical contaminated foods. I highly suggest anyone who is aware of the issue to read it and spread it far and wide!

GMO 101 is a must read for anyone who is even a little bit interested in Genetically Modified Organisms. No matter what side you support.You can sense the depth of research and time taken to bring what is a very complex subject within easy grasp of all who are seeking answers. In fact Alain Braux has tackled those difficult questions about GMOs and through his deep understanding of this subject – been able to provide straight forward answers.The first part of the book provides the intelligent overview of where the real problems are and goes on to bring out well thought out and practical solutions to those problems – giving just the right amount science needed to provide quite a deep insight for the reader, yet not so much as to be impenetrable. This is not a dry or boring book – thankfully. It is a real source of sound information presenting the problems with current GMO research and with the products that have been unleashed onto the world of food production.Once you have read this book, you will be informed but you won’t be able to sit on the fence. You’ll also look more closely at what you eat. And even there Alain has taken on the huge task of listing the larger part of food and ingredients that contain GMOs. So you’ll not only know why you should be careful about the food you eat, you’ll also know what foods to avoid.Bottom Line… If you want to be reliably informed about what GMOs are and – if you value your health – what you should be doing about them… Then GMO 101 is exactly the book you need to read.

Everyone needs to read this eye-opening book on the dark side of GMO food. Chef Alain Braux does a masterful job of outlining all the arguments “they” use for why we should have genetically modified foods, along with the reasons “we” are not benefiting from these foods.On the contrary, GMO foods are slowly weakening our immune systems, creating allergies, and leading us towards autoimmune diseases. If, by now, you’re worried about what to eat, never fear. Chef Alain takes you by the hand and walks you through the food aisles, guiding you to the healthy, organic choices. From apples to zucchini, he steers you away from the genetically modified “Franken-foods” and the ingredients to watch out for.More than a practical guide, GMO 101 is very comprehensive, and can be used as a thorough reference guide for almost any food or food ingredient you can think of.I highly recommend this book to anyone who cares about their health, their family’s health, and our environment.

Trained as a professional French pastry chef, Alain Braux seems like an unlikely advocate for healthy eating. But as a culinary nutritionist and his passionate connection with food, he began to ask hard questions about where his food came from, how it was made, and how it impacts the health of people and the planet. Inevitably, this led him to confront the world of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and what he found there troubled him so much that he felt compelled to share his findings.In “GMO 101”, Chef Alain dives into the history of genetically modified foods, its origins at the turn of this century and its modern day applications. He takes on the purported benefits of GMOs, a supposedly safe way to increase crop yields chief among them, and systematically exposes them for the lies that they are.

I have had the distinct pleasure to get to know Chef Alain Braux over the past couple of years. His knowledge of nutrition and avoidance of particular foods like gluten and dairy combined with French cooking is truly a shared gift. I love the recipes in his cook books and am very excited that his ‘GMO 101’ book is being published. It is a must read for many reasons.In addition to poignantly describing our food industry he has written the most comprehensive list of ingredients (especially those that are difficult to pronounce) that I have ever read. I will refer to it for years to come. My thanks to Alain for helping me continue to be aware and mindful of the foods I choose to eat and serve.

In the early 1900’s, hydrogenated margarines (trans fats) were released into the food system, deemed by governments to be safe. Later, polyunsaturated margarines containing these trans fats were even recommended by health authorities to be beneficial for prevention and treatment of coronary disease, when substituted for butter and natural saturated fats. Now, we have discovered that there is no ‘safe’ level of artificially produced Trans fats and labeling is mandatory. Are we to trust our “authorities” blindly again?We could be going down the same path with GMO. We don’t know if they are safe. That’s the problem. No-one knows, and worse, no one seems willing or able to do the research to prove one way or the other. My belief, as is Alain Braux’s, is that when you don’t know if something can harm you, avoid it, and the key to avoiding them is knowing where they lurk.Chef Braux masterfully takes us on the GMO voyage. In an easy to read, entertaining and very understandable style, he gives us the history, politics, potential health dangers, and, most importantly the likely sources.This book is a must for anyone who is interested in the GMO debate, and for anyone who cares for the future health of, not only themselves, their family and friends, but the global environment. It is only by empowering ourselves with knowledge that we will be able to help win the battle. And it is only through consumer demand that retailers and manufacturers, farmers, fishers and ranchers will take heed and stop the spread of these organisms, or demand valid research.This book will give you all and more than you need. I highly recommended you read it.

GMO 101 is a health guide … No, a real life drama of classified toxic, vicious, insidious, specious GMOs invading our basic food supply and bodies. Did you know GMOs were “officially” introduced to the food market in 1996?Here it is in a nutshell:Food Safety 101: Toxins, considered a chemical hazard, cannot be killed but can be eliminated or removed whereas harmful biological bacteria or pathogens are destroyed by cooking.GMO 101: GM Bt toxins are not destroyed by cooking nor by our bodily digestive process. So as these toxins end up in our intestines, they can kill friendly bacteria living that helps us stay healthy.In GMO 101, French Chef & Nutritionist Chef Alain passionately spells the pros & cons for you without too much scientific chemistry jargon. He reads between the lines for you!
