New research out of France has linked both an herbicide and a genetically modified corn to organ damage, tumors and early death among rats, prompting a call for greater regulation of GM foods among sustainable agriculture advocates.
The study – published Wednesday in Food and Chemical Toxicology – found that rats who were exposed to Roundup, a weed killing herbicide, and rats who were fed Roundup-resistant corn developed mammary tumors, kidney and liver damage and died earlier than those in the control group.
According to the authors, this is the first study to examine the long-term effects of genetically modified Roundup Ready corn, or NK603, which is produced by biotech corporation Monsanto and has been approved for use in both the European Union and the United States.
Previous studies have examined the effects of NK603 on animals over the course of 90 days, while this study looked at a two-year period.
“There were no adverse effects in a 90-day feeding study on rats with NK603 maize grain…” says the EFSA GMO Panel in its scientific opinion on the corn. “The EFSA GMO Panel is of the opinion that maize NK603 is as safe as conventional maize. Maize NK603 and derived products are unlikely to have any adverse effect on human and animal health in the context of the intended uses.”
The French study, however, found a series of adverse health effects in rats fed with the corn.

а у меня есть живой пример. Купила кошке еду новой фирмы,которую мне посоветовали в магазине помошники. Через месяц у кошки заднии лапки полностью облезли, стали лысыми.Я сначало не могла понять что случилось. А потом вспомнила что я ей корм поменяла.Пришла с покетом от корма в магазин.Сказала что случилось . Они мне сказали это аллергия на корм.Купила другой. Но шкурка так и не восстановилась
