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.

Ron Paul could have siezed Monsanto by Executive Order and jailed all of Monsanto and fed them nothing but GMO food until they died. But he quit once he had made it impossible to get any other third party candidate ready as a contender. He was a shill.

It would seem that the 1% really does want to eliminate us. Not swift and sweet, however, but slow and painful. They are slowly poisoning us with a form of torture that is downright Medieval. More than half the people I have been talking with recently have been having problems with cancers, broken bones and organs that are not functioning. This is fascism - rule by corporations.

This doesn't surprise me. After all, is it any wonder honeybees won't go any where near a GM crop.
They mess with everything!

Where I am GM/monsanto doesn't exist . I can still buy from the farm and most of the other stuff is made here. Not much come's from the US. I see an all out war to destroy the US and all that's in it. If you have all the money and nothing to buy! WTF is that all about? Even Chavez could figure that out,the dumb shit he is. UH,if that's true then what does that say about Ven's?
