Whether you question the safety of GMOs or think the public is concerned about nothing, a recent study will definitely cause you to reconsider your stance.
A new study released by Egyptian scientists has concluded that rats fed a GMO diet suffer from infertility, among other health issues.
Researchers from the Food Technology Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Anatomy and Embryology, and Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Suez Canal University, Ismailia, Egypt found that quite a few unappealing changes took place when rats were fed genetically modified corn.
Because the rats’ organs/body weight and serum biochemistry were altered, potential adverse health and toxic effects were recorded.
The report stated:
“GM corn or soybeans leads to significant organ disruptions in rats and mice, particularly in livers and kidneys. In addition they found other organs may be affected too, such as heart and spleen, or blood cells. The kidneys of males fared the worst, with 43.5% of all the changes, the liver of females followed with 30.8%”
