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).
After a 2 month study an alteration of different organs, shrinkage of kidneys, change in the liver and spleen, appearance of malignant parts in the tissues, kidney failure and hemorrhages in the intestine were discovered in the animals that were fed GMOs. The brain functions were touched as well, and the rats’ learning and memory abilities were seriously altered. The death rate of baby rats raised by mothers on a diet of genetically modified corn also increased by 35%.
