Dr Michael Antoniou, Reader in Molecular Genetics at King’s College, London, reviewed and endorsed the Heinemann and Carman expert opinions on CSIRO GM Wheat. (more…)
Dr Judy Carman: CSIRO GM Wheat is Risky
The Safe Food Foundation & Institute commissioned scientific expert Dr Judy Carman from Flinders University to give her expert scientific opinions on CSIRO’s genetically modified wheat. Dr Carman indicated that she believes there are major gaps in CSIRO’s risk

Gilles-Eric Seralini: Glyphosate is Toxic to Human Placental JEG3 Cells
This Gilles-Eric Seralini study shows that glyphosate is toxic to human placental JEG3 cells within 18 hr with concentrations lower than those found with agricultural use, and this effect increases with concentration and time or in the presence of

Dr. Don Huber: Glyphosate Associated with Increase in Cereal Diseases
In this Canadian Agricultural Research Center study glyphosate use was consistently associated with higher FHB levels caused by the most important FHB pathogens, Fusarium avenaceum and Fusarium graminearum. Cochliobolus sativus, the most common CRR pathogen, was negatively associated with previous glyphosate use,

Prof Robert J. Kremer: Glyphosate Increases Rhizosphere Bacteria
This University of Missouri study showed that the frequency of root-colonizing Fusarium increased significantly after glyphosate application during growing seasons in each year at all sites. Roots of GR soybean and maize treated with glyphosate were heavily colonized by Fusarium compared to non-GR

CRIIGEN: Congenital Malformations in Children from Pesticides?
In January 2009, a farming couple contacted CRIIGEN because two of their three children were born with congenital malformations. One had a somatotropic deficiency, an imperforate anus and a small atrial septal defect at birth. Due to the absence of

Gilles-Eric Seralini: Roundup Has Inhibitory Effect on Microbial Growth
The presented results from this Gilles-Eric Seralini study show that Roundup has an inhibitory effect on microbial growth and a microbicide effect at lower concentrations than those recommended in agriculture. (more…)
Gilles-Eric Seralini: Roundup Bioforce Destroys Cells in Rat Testes
This Gilles-Eric Seralini study finds that Monsanto’s glyphosate-based herbicide Roundup Bioforce® as well as glyphosate alone reduced testosterone levels in testicular cells of rats at very low concentrations; and at higher concentrations – still 10 times below agricultural use

Gilles-Eric Seralini: GM Eggplant Unsuitable for Human Consumption
This Gilles-Eric Seralini paper concludes that the GM Bt brinjal (eggplant) cannot be considered as safe as its non GM counterpart. Indeed, it should be considered as unsuitable for human and animal consumption. In addition, the longest toxicity tests which
