A study published in the International Journal of Biological Sciences demonstrates the toxicity of three genetically modified corn varieties from the American seed company Monsanto, the Committee for Independent Research and Information on Genetic Engineering (Criigen, based in Caen), which participated in that study, announced Friday, December 11.
"For the first time in the world, we've proven that GMO are neither sufficiently healthy nor proper to be commercialized. [...] Each time, for all three GMOs, the kidneys and liver, which are the main organs that react to a chemical food poisoning, had problems," indicated Gilles-Eric Séralini, an expert member of the Commission for Biotechnology Reevaluation, created by the EU in 2008.
Caen and Rouen University researchers, as well as Criigen researchers, based their analyses on the data supplied by Monsanto to health authorities to obtain the green light for commercialization, but they draw different conclusions after new statistical calculations. According to Professor Séralini, the health authorities based themselves on a reading of the conclusions Monsanto has presented and not on conclusions drawn from the totality of the data. The researchers were able to obtain complete documentation following a legal decision.

I'm not following. Monsanto provided data wanting approval for commercialization, but their products are already available in the EU and the US? Did I mis-read something?

"There are three kinds of lies....." :)
Eventually someone's going to quantitatively prove how much more estrogenic genetically modified soy is compared to the regular stuff.

I guess monstanto's tests were over 90 days and these three gmo's are approved for human animal consumption and these are the two year tests showing it's not safe. So yea, they're on market, in foods I guess and not safe.
Just look at the increased Crones, ulcerative collitis and colon cancers since that shit was introduced into the diets of Americans.

Yea, it doesn't make Monsanto look good that they were trying to cover the 2 yr results.
