Longest study on the issue produces very worrying results

A group of scientists who have just finished conducting a 700-day study on the effects of genetically-modified maize (NK603) and the extremely popular herbicide Roundup on laboratory rats says that the incidence of cancers and other serious health conditions in the animals was extremely high.

This was the longest study on the effects of GM crops on animals. Previously, studies were conducted for only 90 days, but this one continued throughout the rats' natural lifespan, of almost two years.

The most significant health effects did begin to emerge around 120 days after the study began, suggesting that previous research failed to identify the real effects. Both the GM corn and the herbicide make their way into the human body via chicken, pig and cattle meat.

Just a thought: this may account for the massive incidence of cancer and organ damage in the general population. I believe this is a hypothesis definitely worth investigating further, don't you agree?
