The study, led by Gilles-Eric Seralini of the University of Caen, was the first ever study to examine the long-term (lifetime) effects of eating GMOs. You may find yourself thinking it is absolutely astonishing that no such studies were ever conducted before GM corn was approved for widespread use by the USDA and FDA, but such is the power of corporate lobbying and corporate greed.
The study was published in The Food & Chemical Toxicology Journal and was just presented at a news conference in London.
Findings from the study
Here are some of the shocking findings from the study:• Up to 50% of males and 70% of females suffered premature death.
• Rats that drank trace amounts of Roundup (at levels legally allowed in the water supply) had a 200% to 300% increase in large tumors.
• Rats fed GM corn and traces of Roundup suffered severe organ damage including liver damage and kidney damage.
• The study fed these rats NK603, the Monsanto variety of GM corn that's grown across North America and widely fed to animals and humans. This is the same corn that's in your corn-based breakfast cereal, corn tortillas and corn snack chips.
Read the study abstract
The study is entitled, "A Comparison of the Effects of Three GM Corn Varieties on Mammalian Health." Read the abstract here:http://www.biolsci.org/v05p0706.htm
That abstract include this text. Note: "hepatorenal toxicity" means toxic to the liver.
Our analysis clearly reveals for the 3 GMOs new side effects linked with GM maize consumption, which were sex- and often dose-dependent. Effects were mostly associated with the kidney and liver, the dietary detoxifying organs, although different between the 3 GMOs. Other effects were also noticed in the heart, adrenal glands, spleen and haematopoietic system. We conclude that these data highlight signs of hepatorenal toxicity, possibly due to the new pesticides specific to each GM corn. In addition, unintended direct or indirect metabolic consequences of the genetic modification cannot be excluded.

I'll make my own assessments based on the RAW EXPERIMENTAL DATA if these so-called researchers would kindly publish just that and refrain from sensationalizing results in what has become an all too familiar ploy to grind some political axe or fraudulently obtain extended "research" funding. Boring details like sample group generational statistics, control groups, what constitutes an experimental dosage, what exactly are they calling a "trace", these and many more questions come to mind when considering the legitimacy of any experimentation, especially when it comes to the self serving medical or pharmaceutical communities.
ReplyDeleteGetting legitimate results in layman's terms is sort of like trying to extract a simple
" yes or no " answer from a career politician. . .
Thanks for sharing information on Global Rumblings, i have visited your blog great post...........
