Default Breaking New Study: Rats Fed Genetically Modified Corn Develop Massive Tumors, Cancer

The world’s best-selling weedkiller, and a genetically modified maize resistant to it, can cause tumours, multiple organ damage and lead to premature death, new research published today reveals.

In the first ever study to examine the long-term effects of Monsanto’s Roundup weedkiller, or the NK603 Roundup-resistant GM maize also developed by Monsanto, scientists found that rats exposed to even the smallest amounts, developed mammary tumours and severe liver and kidney damage as early as four months in males, and seven months for females, compared with 23 and 14 months respectively for a control group.

“This research shows an extraordinary number of tumours developing earlier and more aggressively – particularly in female animals. I am shocked by the extreme negative health impacts,” said Dr Michael Antoniou, molecular biologist at King’s College London, and a member of CRIIGEN, the independent scientific council which supported the research.

GM crops have been approved for human consumption on the basis of 90-day animal feeding trials. But three months is the equivalent of late adolescence in rats, who can live for almost two years (700 days), and there have long been calls to study the effects over the course of a lifetime.

The peer-reviewed study, conducted by a team of researchers at the University of Caen, found that rats fed on a diet containing NK603 Roundup resistant GM maize, or given water containing Roundup at levels permitted in drinking water, over a two-year period, died significantly earlier than rats fed on a standard diet.

Up to half the male rats and 70% of females died prematurely, compared with only 30% and 20% in the control group. Across both sexes the researchers found that rats fed Roundup in their water or NK603 developed two to three times more large tumours than the control group. By the beginning of the 24th month, 50-80% of females in all treated groups had developed large tumours, with up to three per animal.

Sorry about graphic pictures.
I think if people knew what GMO does And the label would say that product contains GMOs, 50% or more people would stay away from such product.
That is why it is Not on the label

I hate Monsanto. They are HUGE in the US and so powerful that almost nobody can fight them. If you're a non-GM canola farmer and your neighbour's Monsanto crop drifts into your fields, Monsanto will sue you to shut you down or have you pay them a royalty for having their GM crops in your fields, even if you NEVER wanted GM crops in the first place. Unfortunately, the Agricultural lobby in the US is all-powerful and that is why GM crops are everywhere and NOT listed in the ingredients of food products.

Yes I agree GMO's are no good. Sadly we had to stop using Canadian Sugar as Rogers introduced the Round up ready sugar beets into Southern Alberta starting in 09.

GMO is bad and so is the refined sugar.
Sugar is food for cancer people should stop consuming sugar. Took me more then 2 years to quit sugar, it was way harder then quitting smoking.

Refined sugar is devoid of important nutrients, causes obesity, causes cavities, and also increases cancer risk. If you or a loved one are battling cancer, or are serious about avoiding the disease, you may want to take note of your intake of this common yet dangerous substance.

On the other hand, natural sugars found in fruits and vegetables are so much safer and better for health. Even fresh fruit juice, despite its high sugar content, is great for health. On top of that, healthy whole foods come with a wide concoction of vitamins and minerals, something which refined sugar is totally devoid of.
