GMOs kill us softly

Study Linking Genetically Modified Corn to Rat Tumors Is Retracted

 “The study found that rats fed for two years with Monsanto’s glyphosate-resistant NK603 maize (corn) developed many more tumors and died earlier than controls. It also found that the rats developed tumors when glyphosate (Roundup), the herbicide used with GM maize, was added to their drinking water.”

Here is another study:

“A significant number of genetically modified (GM) crops have been approved to enter

human food and animal feed since 1996, including crops containing several GM genes

'stacked' into the one plant. We randomised and fed isowean pigs (N=168) either a mixed

GM soy and GM corn (maize) diet (N=84) or an equivalent non-GM diet (N=84) in a longterm

toxicology study of 22.7 weeks (the normal lifespan of a commercial pig from

weaning to slaughter). Equal numbers of male and female pigs were present in each

group. The GM corn contained double and triple-stacked varieties. Feed intake, weight

gain, mortality and blood biochemistry were measured. Organ weights and pathology

were determined post-mortem. There were no differences between pigs fed the GM and

non-GM diets for feed intake, weight gain, mortality, and routine blood biochemistry

measurements. The GM diet was associated with gastric and uterine differences in pigs.

GM-fed pigs had uteri that were 25% heavier than non-GM fed pigs (p=0.025). GM-fed

pigs had a higher rate of severe stomach inflammation with a rate of 32% of GM-fed pigs

compared to 12% of non-GM-fed pigs (p=0.004). The severe stomach inflammation was

worse in GM-fed males compared to non-GM fed males by a factor of 4.0 (p=0.041), and

GM-fed females compared to non-GM fed females by a factor of 2.2 (p=0.034).”
