Hi screener,

Brewster Kneen's book is titled;The Rape of Canola published by NC Press 1992.
ISBN 1-55021-066-1

My quote from Brewster's book was slightly out of context, but when you put it into context (by including Brewster's preceding paragraph) this makes the situation a whole lot more untenable.

“Not enough time has elapsed for the biotech industry to discover the consequences of what has been so carelessly initiated. There has been, however, sufficient increase in the occurrence of allergies, asthma, cancers, immune system disorders and similar illnesses, for which there is no adequate explanation, to give us good cause to doubt the assurances about the safety of scientific endeavours in general and biotechnology in particular.”
