ollowing
the recent rat study on NK603 GMO corn, Russia has suspended imports of
Monsanto corn, while France continues investigations into the possible
dangers of GMOs to human health.
On Tuesday this week, Russia suspended the import and
use of Monsanto's genetically engineered corn, following the scientific
study released on September 19 on rats fed with this corn, which caused serious health problems, including tumors and organ failure.
The study was run over a period of two years, which is
the lifetime of the rats being studied and was the first animal feeding
trial, set up to study the lifetime effects of exposure to NK603
Roundup tolerant GM maize, and also to Roundup, the world's best-selling
herbicide and weedkiller.
