The lead researcher behind the monumental study that linked
Monsanto’s GMOs and best-selling herbicide Roundup to tumor development and early death is now blowing
the whistle on many corporate scientists who are not just close to
Monsanto and profit-harvesting GMO crops — many of them actually have or are
seeking their own GMO patents. These patents, of course, enable them to
make bountiful amounts of cash. Other corporate scientists are on (or ‘were’ at
one point) Monsanto’s pay roll, including former Monsanto executive
turned Deputy Commissioner for Foods at the FDA Michael R. Taylor.
Dr.
Gilles-Eric Séralini, a French scientists who has been under assault from
Monsanto and pro-GMO scientists, was responsible for perhaps the largest
awakening over the dangers of Monsanto’s GMO foods that we have ever seen. Not
only did the public begin to further recognize the existence and threat of GMOs
thanks to his research, but numerous countries like Russia and others actually enacted a suspension on the import of genetically
modified maize due to public health concerns.
This,
of course, upset the Monsanto-funded corporate scientists who proverbially
‘unleashed the dogs’ on Dr. Séralini. Even Monsanto released a comment,
stating that the lifelong rat study wasn’t sufficient to substantiate any real
health concerns. The company itself, amazingly, only conducted a 90 day trial
period for its GMOs before unleashing them on the public.
Previous Peer-Reviewed Evidence Highlighting GMO
Danger Ignored by ‘Scientists’
It’s
important to remember that Séralini’s work may be the most popular within
the media, but it’s not the only research linking GMOs and Roundup to serious
health effects. Monsanto and fellow goons failed to mention this truth,
especially the fact that Monsanto’s Roundup has been associated with over 29 negative health conditions according to
peer-reviewed studies available on PubMed. And these conditions are nothing
minor. Health effects linked to Roundup include:
- Cancer
- Parkinson’s
- DNA damage
- Low testosterone
- Liver damage
- Infertility
- Endocrine disease
These
are serious disorders that result from the very Roundup that is used on crops
by farmers worldwide before hitting your dinner table. In fact an increased
amount of usage is now needed thanks to ineffective GMO crops that are now
being eaten by mutated superbugs that have developed a resistance to Monsanto’s built-in GMO
pesticides. Roundup covered crops that eventually land on dinner tables
worldwide.
But
perhaps very few scientists around the globe actually dare speak about these
dangers due to the overwhelming political influence Monsanto and other biotech
companies have over nations around the globe. We know thanks to 2007 WikiLeaks cables that not only are most if
not all U.S. ambassadors on Monsanto payroll, but that prominent U.S. political
figures have threatened nations who oppose Monsanto with ‘military-style trade
wars’. A threat that has managed to strike fear into many nations who would not
risk massive retaliation from the United States.
Now,
however, the awareness has grown stronger than ever before and consumers
worldwide are taking a stand. A stand that countries around the globe can no
longer ignore, nor can corrupt corporate scientists dissipate through phony
bought-and-paid-for garbage science.
