The Effects Of Genetically Modified Foods On Animal Health
Edited on Tue Jan-12-10 08:43 AM by JohnyCanuck

The Committee of Research and Information on Genetic Engineering (CRIIGEN) and Universities of Caen and Rouen studied Monsanto’s 90-day feeding trials data of insecticide producing Mon 810, Mon 863 and Roundup® herbicide absorbing NK 603 varieties of GM maize.

The data “clearly underlines adverse impacts on kidneys and liver, the dietary detoxifying organs, as well as different levels of damages to heart, adrenal glands, spleen and haematopoietic system,” reported Gilles-Eric Séralini, a molecular biologist at the University of Caen.

Although different levels of adverse impact on vital organs were noticed between the three GMOs, the 2009 research shows specific effects associated with consumption of each GMO, differentiated by sex and dose.

Their December 2009 study appears in the International Journal of Biological Sciences(IJBS). This latest study conforms with a 2007 analysis by CRIIGEN on Mon 863, published inEnvironmental Contamination and Toxicology, using the same data.

I am sure it must still be safe for us to eat Monsanto's (and others') putrid, health impairing, GMO shit. After all, we are humans not animals, right? :sarcasm:

2. I don't want to start a fire storm, but
I'm thinking this might be the cause of autism. The rate of autism has risen along with the use of GM crops. Most corn and soy are GM and they are in just about every food you can buy. Try to find a loaf of bread without soy. I've tried since my husband has low thyroid and soy is bad for that. I learned recently that canola is a GM crop and have switched to sunflower oil along with olive oil.
