GM Cancer Warning Can No Longer Be Ignored
The latest findings of cancers and deaths from GM maize and Roundup
herbicide are the result of the most in-depth long-term toxicology
study ever done on GM food; we ignore them at our peril Prof Peter
Saunders and Dr Mae-Wan Ho

In the Vatican Museums in Rome stands a statue of La0coön and his
sons. Legend has it that Laocoön tried to warn his fellow citizens
against taking in the wooden horse that the Greeks had left outside
their gates. It was not a gift, but a ruse designed to allow Greek
soldiers to enter the city. The Greek gods, who wanted to see Troy
destroyed, sent sea serpents to kill Laocoön. This convinced the
Trojans that the horse was indeed sacred; so they opened the gates and
dragged it into the city. The result was the total destruction of Troy
and its empire.
The biotech industry is doing its best to convince us that GMOs are
the key to feeding a hungry world, when all the evidence is that they
profit only the companies. Whenever anyone tries to warn of the
dangers of GMOs, the industry responds by doing its utmost to
discredit the whistle blower and prevent the warning from being heard.

GM maize and herbicide link to cancer “a bomb”
The latest warning - perhaps the most dramatic to-date – comes in a
paper published online 19 September 2012 in the journal Food and
Chemical Toxicology reporting high rates of death and cancers in rats
fed Monsanto’s GM maize NK603 and/or Roundup herbicide compared with
controls [6]. The study carried out by Gilles-Eric Séralini and his
group at the University of Caen involved the largest number of rats
followed for their entire lifespan of two years. By all accounts, it
was the most in-depth long-term toxicology study ever done on GM food
[7]. Séralini reported the results in the European Parliament. ...
