In a recent study by Egyptian scientist Hussein Kaoud of Cairo University’s Faculty of Veterinary Hygiene, nine groups of rats and mice were fed different genetically modified foods (potatoes, corn, grapes and tomatoes). (more…)
Dr Ozturk: Glyphosate Inhibits Ferric Reductase – Could Lead to Iron Deficiency
Iron (Fe) deficiency is increasingly being observed in cropping systems with frequent glyphosate applications. A likely reason for this is that glyphosate interferes with root uptake of Fe by inhibiting ferric reductase in roots required for Fe acquisition by

Dr Darren Roberts: 3.2% Mortality from Glyphosate Poisoning
601 patients were identified in this University of Peradeniya glyphosate poisoning study; the majority ingested a concentrated formulation (36% w/v glyphosate). 27.6% were asymptomatic, 64% had minor poisoning and 5.5% of patients had moderate to severe poisoning. There were 19

Birmingham City Hospital: Glyphosate Poisoning Can Lead to Death
This research from Birmingham City Hospital regarding Glyphosate shows that there is a reasonable correlation between the amount of Roundup ingested and the likelihood of serious systemic sequelae or death. Ingestion of >85 mL of the concentrated formulation is

Gilles-Eric Seralini: Roundup Causes Liver Cell Death
All the four Roundup formulations used in this University of Caen study provoked liver cell death, with adjuvants having stronger effects than glyphosate alone. (more…)
Dr Ismail Cakmak: Glyphosate May Result in Iron Impairment
Results from this Turkish Cukurova University study suggest that glyphosate residues or drift may result in severe impairments in Fe and Mn nutrition of nontarget plants, possibly due to the formation of poorly soluble glyphosate-metal complexes in plant tissues and/or rhizosphere interactions. (more…)
Prof Ashild Krogdahl: GM Corn Leads to Obesity
Norwegian Veterinary Science College feeding trials on rats, mice, pig and salmon have found that GM feed produces significant changes. Rats and fish fed Bt corn grew fatter than the control groups fed non-GM corn. Salmon fed on GM corn were

Gilles-Eric Seralini: Glyphosate is an Endocrine Disruptor in Human Cells
According to the data and the literature in this study, Glyphosate-based herbicides present DNA damages and CMR effects on human cells and in vivo. (more…)
Gilles-Eric Seralini: BT Toxins are Toxic to Human Cells
Insecticidal Bt toxins such as those produced in genetically engineered plants can be detrimental to human cells. This is a result of recent research led by researchers at the University of Caen (France). Their experiments showed that toxins produced

Dr Rick A. Relyea: Highly Lethal Effects of Roundup on Amphibians
This Pittsburgh University study represents one of the most extensive experimental investigations of pesticide effects on aquatic communities and offers a comprehensive perspective on the impacts of pesticides when nontarget organisms are examined under ecologically relevant conditions. (more…)
