Default New Study Finds GMO Corn Makes Rats Infertile

I know many of us eat products with corn and soy, they sneak into everything, including forms like maltodextrin, dextrose, and others, including corn fed beef.

Monsanto is trying to pass a law making it illegal to advertise a non-GMO product as non-GMO and to make it illegal for states to pass laws requiring GMO labeling.

This is from the Academy Of Anti Aging Medicine forum:

Still think GMOs and their non-GMO counterparts are equivalent? Think again. Unlike GM corn, non-GMO corn doesn’t cause sterility. A new study released by Egyptian scientists found that rats fed a GMO diet suffer from infertility, among other health issues.

Researchers from the Food Technology Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Anatomy and Embryology, and Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Suez Canal University, Ismailia, Egypt, have found that several unsavory changes occur when rats were fed GM corn.

The rats’ organs/body weight and serum biochemistry were altered, indicating potential adverse health and toxic effects.

“GM corn or soybeans leads to significant organ disruptions in rats and mice, particularly in livers and kidneys. In addition they found other organs may be affected too, such as heart and spleen, or blood cells. The kidneys of males fared the worst, with 43.5% of all the changes, the liver of females followed with 30.8%”

Additionally, by day 91, many of the rats fed a GM diet were completely sterile.

As reported by Sustainable Pulse:

“In the third study, histopathological examination was carried out on the rats fed the GM maize, and the results were compared with rats fed non-GM maize. The study found clear signs of organ pathology in the GM-fed group, especially in the liver, kidney, and small intestine. An examination of the testes revealed necrosis (death) and desquamation (shedding) of the spermatogonial cells that are the foundation of sperm cells and thus male fertility – and all this after only 91 days of feeding.”

How long do you think this effect will take to show up in human beings who eat GM food?

The study abstract reads:

“This study was designed to evaluate the safety of genetically modified (GM) corn (Ajeeb YG). Corn grains from Ajeeb YG or its control (Ajeeb) were incorporated into rodent diets at 30% concentrations administered to rats (n= 10/group) for 45 and 91 days…General conditions were observed daily…and serum biochemistry were measured. The data showed several statistically significant differences in organs/body weight and serum biochemistry between the rats fed on GM and/or Non-GM corn and the rats fed on AIN93G diets. In general, GM corn sample caused several changes by increase or decrease organs/body weight or serum biochemistry values. This indicates potential adverse health/toxic effects of GM corn and further investigations still needed.”

This study simply corroborates previous findings, proving the same deleterious effects. Russian biologist Alexey V. Surov and his colleagues found that Monsanto’s genetically modified (GM) soy, grown on 91% of US soybean fields, leads to problems in growth or reproduction – in many cases, causing infertility. Animals who ate GM soy were sterile by the third generation.

Years ago, Natural Society unveiled proof that hamsters fed Monsanto’s GM soy for two years had growth and development abnormalities, and also – became sterile.

If you don’t see a pattern here, you might need to look again.

And on the same page:

Most likely THE top researcher in the GMO field - - exposing the Frankenstein nature of GMOs - - is prof. Giles Seralini of Caen U. in France. He fed both types of GM corn to rats and they developed cancers and organ malfunctions. A short time after publishing the data, the paper was withdrawn. Guess by whom? Not the author, Seralini, but by a new editor at the Journal. Why? Phony reasons that had no basis, and couldn't be confirmed. Then it became known that the new editor came from the GMO industry. But was - at this point - the paper re-published? NO! This was a starting point for my looking into harassment by the GMO industry against researchers who publish facts the GMO industry doesn't like.

Prof. Seralini isn't the kind of guy who takes things lying down; submitted to an even tougher Journal, the paper was re-published. You can now view the pictures of the test animals on the front page at http://www.DrHans.org .

I'm really both curious and distubred about this stuff and so I found a link that explains what might be actually going on the rats--it's not glyphosate residue as I was initially thinking. Ajeeb YG is a borer-resistant strain that carries a protein from Bacillus thuringiensis.

Ugh, I don't understand how Monsanto can get away with this. I try to source products that are either organic or unusual types that are GM free (such as blue corn).

Here's more. From the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine...

A SUGGESTION: Your Government representative's (US Senate and House) access to the scientific literature appears blocked by Special Interest $$$; how about giving them a hand by forwarding to them the scientific references presented below!

“Contrary to this assertion (from MONSANTO, that GMO foods are safe) , the literature provides indications of harmful and adverse effects to the environment and to health (both animal and human), as well as to socio-economic conditions, particularly over the medium- and long-term."
The new study is authored by Georgina Catacora-Vargas, a researcher at the Agroecology Centre (AGRUCO) at the Faculty of Agricultural, Livestock and Forestry Sciences, University Mayor de San Simon, Cochabamba, Bolivia. Catacora-Vargas was until recently technical biosafety advisor at Bolivia's Vice-Ministry of Environment, Water and Forestry Management.

It's time to write to your representatives and tell them to represent you and not Monsanto.
