Fears grow as study shows genetically modified crops ‘can cause liver and kidney damage’
Fresh fears were raised over GM crops yesterday after a study showed they can cause liver and kidney damage.
According to the research, animals fed on three strains of genetically modified maize created by the U.S. biotech firm Monsanto suffered signs of organ damage after just three months.
The findings only came to light after Monsanto was forced to publish its raw data on safety tests by anti-GM campaigners.
They add to the evidence that GM crops may damage health as well as be harmful to the environment.
The figures released by Monsanto were examined by French researcher Dr Gilles-Eric Seralini, from the University of Caen.
Yesterday he called for more studies to check for long-term organ damage.
‘What we’ve shown is clearly not proof of toxicity, but signs of toxicity,’ he told New Scientist magazine. ‘I’m sure there’s no acute toxicity but who’s to say there are no chronic effects?’

Dr Gilles-Eric Seralini is not a real scientist. I confronted him myself during a presentation of his work on 2007. His rats were obviously fed with the GM parts (leaves) containing pesticides. Of course, because the purpose of these GM was to store pesticides, it is an obvious result that feeding rats with those leaves will lead to deleterious effect and health damages. Again, nothing to deal with GMO, but pesticides.
