and chemical additives are hardwired into our food system and make up the majority of the American diet.
But because of a giant loophole in food safety law the generally recognized as safe or GRAS loophole chemical manufacturers can decide for themselves
when chemical additives enter our food supply. All this adds up to a serious lack of oversight intowhat goes into Americans'food.
Ultimately the U s. Congress needs to close the GRAS loophole that allows manufacturers to leave the FDA and the public in the dark about the safety of chemical additives in food.

European and US researchers, headed by Theodoor Turlings, a chemical ecologist from the University of Neuch ¢tel in Switzerland
Identifying more compounds that act as chemical signals is crucial, says Turlings. And the approach could be combined with other transgenic pest control methods such as using genetically modified crops that carry toxins.
Guy Poppy, a chemical ecologist from the University of Southampton, UK, agrees that the method should allow farmers to reduce crop damage without eradicating the entire population of pests in a field's ecosystem-allowing biodiversity to remain mostly unchanged.
future studies should address the effects that enhancing natural chemical signals might have on a whole ecosystem including the resident populations of insect-killing nematodes.
