Source: B&FT  -  A large chunk of vegetables on the open markets is reported to be highly chemical-contaminated due to the misapplication of agro-chemicals during production, B&FT has been told.

The reports of contamination compiled by the B&FT, on a visit to a number of famous vegetable producing areas and markets in the middle-belt of the country, show that some vegetable farmers and traders deliberately apply chemicals to the produce in a bid to make them attractive to consumers.

Here is just some PROVE against GMOs (Gen Food)!
This guy, twisting the facts,  that there are no " tangible evidence to prove its threat to humans..."
What EVIDENCE, has HE or other [......] got, that GMOs don`t pose a health risk? NONE! NIL! NADA! NOTHING! NIX!  This guy is an liar in front of the Lord!  

For example, a UK government-funded study demonstrated that rats fed a GM potato developed potentially pre-cancerous cell growth, damaged immune systems, partial atrophy of the liver, and inhibited development of their brains, livers and testicle..
Rats fed GM corn had problems with blood cell, kidney and liver formation.[8] Mice fed GM soy had problems with liver cell formation[9] and pancreatic function,[10] and the livers of rats fed GM canola were heavier. Pigs fed GM corn on several Midwest farms developed false pregnancies or sterility. Cows fed GM corn in Germany died mysteriously. And twice the number of chickens died when fed GM corn compared to those fed natural corn.  > See also our Special, about GMOs (Gen-"Food") <

***** GhanaWeb News:  It is the other way round! They Have To Prove, That Gen Food Is Safe! But They Can`t!
That so called "Council for Scientific and Industrial Research Ghana (CSIR)" and Prof. Walter Sandow Alhassan, do not have any scientific proof or knowledge, that Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) is not harmful!  
There have been many real researches, indicating clearly, that GMOs is harmful!
Still - this kind of "food" is not permitted, for human consumption, in Germany or Britain, nor in France!
Up to date, yes - there is an Gen Manipulated rice crop available in US, but no farmer has used it yet, due the risks involved. Also, there is a very strong opposition against GMOs in USA, and all over the World!
Do you think, the Queen of United Kingdom or any of her offspring's, would ever consume Gen Food...? Then read below official statement...: (New window)
The British Queen  - According to the Gardens Manager for Buckingham Palace: The use of pesticides (fertilizers) is kept to a minimum, and ... She used liquid seaweed instead of chemical fertilizers and garlic...!  The Queen knows, what is best, and HEALTHY!!!  Are we PIGS?????

Prof. Walter Sandow Alhassan, and the "Council for Scientific and Industrial Research Ghana (CSIR)" acting as DOOR-OPENER, to flood the Ghanaian and African market with GMOs, from USA!  
Our opinion: Ghana - stay away from Gen-Food! Show this BUNCH, the RED CARD!
