A study published in the peer-reviewed journal Food and Chemical Toxicology found that rats who were fed a diet of Monsanto’s genetically modified corn, or were exposed to the toxic weed killer Roundup, suffered from tumors and organ damage. A majority of the rats also died earlier than the rats in the control group. Researchers had previously conducted a shorter study that also suggested the toxic nature of GM foods and Roundup, but Monsanto said that team’s conclusions were based on “unsubstantiated conclusions.” This study provides a more accurate representation of the risks of GM foods since it tracked the rats for their entire lives rather than just three months.
