Rodent Feeding Studies Proving Harm To Bodily Functions

I'm pleased to report that Monsanto's stock is sliding down the crapper at a fantastic speed.






Here's a tidbit from GMO Free Canada's Facebook page:

Over 40 rodent feeding studies find harm using varieties of genetically modified foods that are on the market today (Roundup Ready or Bt toxin insecticide producing).


Harmful effects included: Stomach barrier damage, increased risk of intestinal infections, high cholesterol, high blood sugar; reproductive issues including lower birth weight and increased mortality of offspring; organ disturbances in the pancreas, liver, kidneys, adrenal glands, ovaries and testes; other disturbances including disturbances to the immune system, blood biochemistry and functioning of the digestive system.


No wonder there is no consensus on the safety of GMO foods. We need to know if it's GMO.
