MORE ABOUT NEW SHOCK FINDINGS IN GMO STUDY<br />

Spread the word: GMOs are toxic!<br />

Eating genetically modified corn (GM corn) and<br />

consuming trace levels of Monsanto’s Roundup<br />

chemical fertilizer caused rats to develop horrifying tumors,<br />

widespread organ damage, and premature death. That’s the<br />

conclusion of a shocking new study that looked at the longterm<br />

effects of consuming Monsanto’s genetically modified<br />

corn.<br />

The study has been deemed “the most thorough<br />

research ever published into the health effects of<br />

GM food crops and the herbicide Roundup on rats.” <strong>News</strong><br />

of the horrifying findings is spreading like wildfire across<br />

the internet, with even the mainstream media seemingly in<br />

shock over the photos of rats with multiple grotesque tumors...<br />

tumors so large the rats even had difficulty breathing<br />

in some cases. GMOs may be the new thalidomide.<br />

It reported, “Scientists found that rats exposed to<br />

even the smallest amounts, developed mammary<br />

tumors and severe liver and kidney damage as early as four<br />

months in males, and seven months for females.”<br />

The Daily Mail reported, “Fresh row over GM<br />

foods as French study claims rats fed the controversial<br />

crops suffered tumors.” (link)<br />

It goes on to say: “The animals on the GM diet suffered<br />

mammary tumors, as well as severe liver and<br />

kidney damage. The researchers said 50 percent of males and<br />

70 percent of females died prematurely, compared with only<br />

30 percent and 20 percent in the control group.”<br />

The study, led by Gilles-Eric Seralini of the University<br />

of Caen, was the first ever study to examine<br />

the long-term (lifetime) effects of eating GMOs. You<br />

may find yourself thinking it is absolutely astonishing that<br />

no such studies were ever conducted before GM corn was<br />

approved for widespread use by the USDA and FDA, but<br />

such is the power of corporate lobbying and corporate greed.<br />

The study was published in The Food & Chemical<br />

Toxicology Journal and was just presented at<br />

a news conference in London.<br />
