Roundup Is More Toxic than Declared – Prof. Gilles-Eric Seralini
EFSA Releases GM Maize NK603 Data after Seralini Pressure
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) announced on Monday that all the data it used to give its opinion in favour of authorizing the commercialization of the allegedly toxic GM maize NK603 has been released, following pressure from Professor

CRIIGEN: GM Maize and Roundup can Cause Tumours, Multiple Organ Damage and Premature Death
In a study published in “Food and Chemical Toxicology” researchers led by Gilles-Eric Seralini from CRIIGEN have found that rats fed on a diet containing NK603 Roundup tolerant GM maize or given water containing Roundup, at levels permitted in

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

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

CRIIGEN: GM Maize Causes Hepatorenal Toxicity in Rats
Chemistry measurements in this French CRIIGEN study on rats revealed signs of hepatorenal toxicity, marked also by differential sensitivities in males and females. (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
