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

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: Roundup Leads to Embryonic Cell Death
In this University of Caen study, for the first time, the toxicity mechanisms of four different Roundup formulations were studied in human cells. (more…)
