GMO corn variety potentially toxic, scientists warn
June 24, 2007

Source: Aftermath News
Another genetically-modified (GM) corn variety, approved for food, feed, processing, and propagation in the Philippines has been shown by studies to be potentially toxic to humans. The new research, carried out by a French scientific research institute, CRIIGEN (Comité de Recherche et d’Information Indépendantes sur le génie Genétique), involves biotech firm Monsanto’s NK603 GMO corn (marketed commercially under the name Round-up Ready) which was approved as food and feed in the country in 2003, and for propagation in 2005.

The scientific study released this week highlights 60 significant differences between laboratory rats fed with the GMO corn NK603 and those fed with normal corn for 90 days. The first group showed differences in their kidney, brain, heart and liver measurements, as well as significant weight differences which may be potential warning signs of toxicity. [more]
