Will the main beneficiaries? Monsanto, Dupont, Bayer, Signet, Novelties, Adventism and much more companies. The same, incidentally, now drive to sell genetically modified food biotechnology using the same excuse of hunger. Bayer, Novelties and Adventism are also among the multinational drug companies charged more for their medications. Monsanto became owner of the company Pharmacia, which Pfizer later bought. Coming this up to the launch of a book SAM daily toxic risk. Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and other diseases that chemistry occurs in hundreds of thousands of Spanish.
