Monsanto Monster Corn

A two-year long study assessing the health risks of genetically engineered (GE) Roundup Ready corn (NK603) led by Gilles-Eric Séralini revealed shocking health effects, including massive tumors and early death.
Rats given glyphosate in their drinking water also developed tumors. Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup, which has recently been implicated as a major contributor to chronic disease. Needless to say, Séralini’s findings set off a fire-storm of opposition from the industry.
....The publisher created a brand new editorial position, Associate Editor for Biotechnology Richard E. Goodman, a former Monsanto scientist got the job
and the study was retracted...“corporate terrorism” has seized the field and is actively undermining science as we know it.
