EFSA: Hidden Viral Gene VI Discovered in GM Crops
A hidden viral gene, Gene VI, from cauliflower mosaic virus, has been discovered by EFSA (the European Food Safety Authority) and Patrick du Jardin of Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech at the University of Liege, in GMO crops. (more…)
Earth Open Source: Industry Studies Show Glyphosate Causes Birth Defects in Lab Animals
This study, published in the Journal of Environmental and Analytical Toxicology, reveals that industry studies on glyphosate dating back as far as the 1980s, including some by Monsanto, showed that the chemical caused birth defects in lab animals. (more…)
Prof Charles Benbrook: GM Crops Increase Use of Herbicides
The latest study published by Washington State University research professor Charles Benbrook finds that the use of herbicides in the production of three genetically modified herbicide-tolerant crops — cotton, soybeans and corn — has actually increased. This counterintuitive finding

Dr Ismail Cakmak: Glyphosate May Result in Iron Impairment
Results from this Turkish Cukurova University study suggest that glyphosate residues or drift may result in severe impairments in Fe and Mn nutrition of nontarget plants, possibly due to the formation of poorly soluble glyphosate-metal complexes in plant tissues and/or rhizosphere interactions. (more…)
Gilles-Eric Seralini: BT Toxins are Toxic to Human Cells
Insecticidal Bt toxins such as those produced in genetically engineered plants can be detrimental to human cells. This is a result of recent research led by researchers at the University of Caen (France). Their experiments showed that toxins produced

GMO Genocide – A Farmer Suicide Every 30 Minutes
An important 2015 paper by respected researchers deconstructs the false hype around Bt (GM) insecticidal cotton in India. The paper shows that Annual suicide rates in rainfed areas are inversely related to farm size and yield, and directly related to

Canada – GM Toxin in Human Blood
Scientists from the University of Sherbrooke, Canada, have detected the insecticidal protein, Cry1Ab, circulating in the blood of pregnant as well as non-pregnant women. They have also detected the toxin in fetal blood, implying it could pass on to the
