Shocking GMO study: Rats fed lifetime of GM corn grow horrifying tumors, 70% of females die early
(NaturalNews) Eating genetically modified corn (GM corn) and consuming trace levels of Monsanto's Roundup chemical fertilizer caused rats to develop horrifying tumors, widespread organ damage, and premature death. That's the conclusion of a shocking new study that looked at the long-term effects of consuming Monsanto's genetically modified corn.
The study has been deemed "the most thorough research ever published into the health effects of GM food crops and the herbicide Roundup on rats." News of the horrifying findings is spreading like wildfire across the internet, with even the mainstream media seemingly in shock over the photos of rats with multiple grotesque tumors... tumors so large the rats even had difficulty breathing in some cases. GMOs may be the new thalidomide.
"Monsanto Roundup weedkiller and GM maize implicated in 'shocking' new cancer study" wrote The Grocery, a popular UK publication. (http://www.thegrocer.co.uk/topics/technology-and-supply-chain/monsant...)
It reported, "Scientists found that rats exposed to even the smallest amounts, developed mammary tumors and severe liver and kidney damage as early as four months in males, and seven months for females."
The Daily Mail reported, "Fresh row over GM foods as French study claims rats fed the controversial crops suffered tumors." (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2205509/Fresh-fears-GM...)
It goes on to say: "The animals on the GM diet suffered mammary tumors, as well as severe liver and kidney damage. The researchers said 50 percent of males and 70 percent of females died prematurely, compared with only 30 percent and 20 percent in the control group."
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.

Man, I feel bad for those rats! My daughters friend has a pet rat and he's adorable believe it or not.
GMO is bad news! And H, you are correct in saying that it is Deathfood. Look at those rats. They are living proof of it.

Between the GMO's, the rigged GOP primaries, the IRS, Homeland Security, the wars, the false flags, the Wall Street Banksters & money junkies, the Federal Reserve, staged foreign rebellions, the CIA, the NSA, big Pharma, obsession against a proven natural cure (cannibas), cronie capitalism, fascism, kickbacks to MD's from pharmaceutical companies, true unemployment of about 40%, inflation about to become hyper-inflation, failed crops and irrigation systems, the massive sale of 1.6 billion rounds of bullets to the govt. (more than the Defense Dept. orders for wars), chemtrails, a populace that is addicted to govt. handouts, corporate bailouts, et al.....I'd have to say at this point that we're a 'goner'. We've continually voted for "the lessor of two evils" and look where it's gotten us. I'm just going to vote for Gary Johnson as I'm sure alot of ex-Paulers are and move to the mountains. Ron Paul and his campaign staff really screwed up when he/they didn't IMMEDIATELY cry "foul" after the Iowa Caucus, thru the Carolinas and Maine. You don't just go along with fraud...you denounce it!!! He has lost ALL creditability with me and his son as well. How can anyone vote FOR a guy that admits he's FOR the NDAA??? How?
