GMO crops - organ damage, fertility impact; DNA damage not ruled out GMO studies refute biotech claims of safety. Why would ANYONE who can think believe Monsanto's profitpaganda?

"Multiple studies refute industry claims of GMO safety
Misinformation propagated by GMO proponents
CONAHCYT, the Mexican government’s leading scientific body, has a large studies database backing up its claims.[4] Included in the database is an article titled “An illusory consensus behind GMO health assessment”[5] which demonstrates that misinformation about GMO crops is proliferated by GMO crop proponents who insist that the scientific consensus is that GMO crops are safe for health and the environment.
This article examines scientific reviews and papers on GMOs, compares the findings of professional societies, and discusses the treatment of scientists who have reported adverse effects in animal feeding experiments. This article concludes by exploring the role that politics and corporate interests have had in distorting an honest inquiry into the health effects of GMO crops.
The following are quotes from three of the studies cited in the article that demonstrate toxic effects on organs, reproductive effects, alteration of blood, biochemistry, and immunological parameters for humans and rodents eating GMO foods:
Health Risks of Genetically Modified Foods[6]
The results of most studies with GM foods indicate that they may cause some common toxic effects such as hepatic, pancreatic, renal, or reproductive effects and may alter the hematological, biochemical, and immunologic parameters. . . . The use of recombinant GH or its expression in animals should be re-examined since it has been shown that it increases IGF-1 which may promote cancer.
Morphological and biochemical changes in male rats fed on genetically modified corn[7]
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 [purified diets for laboratory rodents]. 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.
A long-term study on female mice fed on a genetically modified soybean: effects on liver ageing[8]
This study demonstrates that GM soybean intake can influence some liver features during ageing and, although the mechanisms remain unknown, underlines the importance to investigate the long-term consequences of GM-diets."

Monsanto has been lying for decades to protect themselves. Their products are POISON. D.C. is utterly corrupt. NIFO
