This is an important new study that concludes that the planting of Bt maize in some areas of Europe would cause increased mortality in the larvae of the protected peacock butterfly. (more…)
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

US Institute of Ecoystems: Bt Corn is Toxic to Water Ecosystems
This US Institute of Ecosystem Studies communicated paper shows that Bt corn byproducts, such as pollen and detritus, enters headwater streams and are subject to storage, consumption, and transport to downstream water bodies. Laboratory feeding trials showed that consumption of Bt

Bavarian Agriculture Institute: Bt Maize Harms Swallowtail Butterflies
In this European study uptake of Bt maize pollen by European common swallowtail butterflies led to a reduced plant consumption, to a lower body weight, and to a longer development time of larvae. Effects on pupal weight and duration of the
