Three Approved GMO's Linked to Organ Damage by Rady Ananada

"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 GMO's, 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 in Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, using the same data."

(Note: Forbes Magazine just named Monsanto “Company of the Year” for 2009: http://www.monsanto.com/monsanto_today/2010/company_of_the_year.asp.

1. So that's types of hard corn used for feed and for chips, tortillas, grits, cornmeal, etc.?

Let's see, poultry and pigs eat this stuff and concentrate the insecticides in their meat...

[no_hypocrisy]

4. And corn flakes, and feed for livestock, pork, and poultry, even fish.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

2. More lies to promote starvation. n/t

3. Care to defend that assertion?

10. You've fallen for the myth that there isn't enough food in the world

We produce enough food to feed the world three times over. We just don't distribute it. Increasing output (while making Monsanto horribly rich) won't help hungry people.

5. It's my belief

that nearly ALL food probably contains poison of some sort.

Those who eat the most get the most poison into their system. Different kinds of food just have different poisons.

Even if you have organically-grown vegetables, they're going to absorb any poisons and/or pollutants from the air, water, and soil in which they grow.

Bon appetit!

6. this is worse than terrorism

they are killing more people than on 9/11- someone should be held accountable. Many other countries will not accept our GM food for good reason, but our FDA works for the corporations, not the people.

I have been aware of this and avoid GM foods as much as possible, but think of the families that are completely unaware of this. This crap is in everything! Children are in the most danger. How many diseases are caused because the body cannot detoxify? How many people are overweight because their adrenal glands are fucked up?

"in today’s society, women are inundated with stress — stress that doesn’t let up. And when chronic stress repeatedly forces the adrenal glands to sustain high levels of cortisol, two things happen: first, the adrenals can’t attend to their broader role in hormonal regulation because the same resources they use to make hormones like estrogen are required to make cortisol, and second, cortisol starts to damage healthy tissues. Eventually, adrenal fatigue sets in, and many women experience symptoms such as weight gain, fatigue, insomnia, fuzzy thinking, depression, cravings and mood swings. Once the adrenals become depleted, it can lead to adrenal exhaustion and much more serious health concerns."

8. Source of that Quote?

This builds on something I've been mulling over, and I'd like the reference.

7. Just another reason for Forbes to name Monsanto Company of the Year.

11. Just say NO to GMOs

Please help the video to get into the mainstream by sharing rating commenting etc etc
Monsanto are evil!

Seralini took THREE YEARS in court to get the data off Monsanto in order to even do his research.
We need to get people to understand the implications of what is going on.. BioTech industries are all tied up in seed, pesticide, chemicals, pharmaceuticals. It SUITS them and their profit margins if people get sick
