The American journal Food and Chemical Toxicology, considered the leading journal in the field of food toxicology, published the work of Frenchman Gilles-Eric Seralini, professor of molecular biology at the University of Caen. In complete secrecy, the researcher and his team have been studying genetically modified corn for many years, conducting experiments on rats..

The results are eloquent and not subject to appeal: GMOs are a terrible poison that has a devastating effect on the studied rats. The study was carried out with great care, as there were fears that a powerful English-speaking transnational lobby would try to interfere with the work of the French researcher.. For two years, his associates encrypted all messages exchanged, did not discuss anything on the phone and declared publicly that they were investigating a completely different issue.. All in order to divert the attention of international companies.

First, they needed to purchase grains of NK 603 genetically modified corn, patented by Monsanto.. After they were bought by a Canadian broker, Seralini's team turned them into food for experiments on rats..

Two hundred animals were divided into two groups. One was fed with genetically modified food, the second - with healthy food.. A year later, abnormalities and severe pathologies were found in rats fed on genetically modified food.. Many females developed mammary tumors, in some cases as high as 25% of the animal's body weight, and males had liver and kidney abnormalities.. All these diseases were 2-5 times more common than in animals fed a healthy diet..

The appearance of tumors is the most impressive result. They appeared very early - at 20 months in males and at 3 in females, which in humans would correspond to approximately 40 years.. Former Environment Minister Corinne Lepage, in The Truth About GMOs, This Is Our Business, to be published on September 21 by Charles Leopold Mayer, also highlights the dangers of GMOs..

Indeed, although France has abandoned GMOs, its position is a little contradictory, just like the attitude of the EU authorities to this issue, which refused to support and fund long-term studies to obtain accurate results on the dangers of GMOs for humans..

These two international companies wanted to avoid another food-related scandal, like the one that erupted around " In addition, their activities have been repeatedly criticized, and they wanted to show that they support initiatives that benefit their profitable consumers.. Auchan founder Gerard Mulhise was one of the first to fund the study..

The fight is just beginning as the world's largest producer of genetically modified grains, Monsanto, has patented hundreds of GMOs and will protect each one.. In addition, huge amounts of money will be needed to test each of the patented species.. This burning issue is likely to spark a worldwide information war as English-speaking Monsanto merchants will very quickly start doing research to disprove Professor Seralini's findings.. Moreover, many countries are already filled with poisonous seeds of this company..

The fight promises to be hard even in obstinate Europe. The refusal to fund the study by the EU authorities and the French government indicates the presence of lobbyists with sufficient weight to prevail over any rival, over any state, including France or Russia.

Monsanto was founded in 1901. After World War II, she began to develop herbicides and insecticides, which caused so much controversy in France.. It is this company that manufactures and distributes RoundUp glyphosate.. She also pioneered, from 1961 to 1971, the production of the famous "

This company, which founded its prosperity on destruction, has also been engaged in genetically modified products since 1983.. She actively participated in their development and penetrated with her products to such markets as Brazil, India, South Africa... Nothing hinders the development of the company. In the 90s and 2000s, many GMOs were created - potatoes, soybeans, cotton, corn, alfalfa, rapeseed, eggplant... The company is involved in many dirty deeds, in particular, in the case of polychlorinated biphenyls -. She was also convicted in France for misusing the words "

Monsanto is surprisingly tenacious in suing anyone who tried to get in its way..

In addition, she has been involved in the sale of growth hormones for cows, she is suspected of falsifying research results to reveal how dangerous her products are, and using the so-called " The scandal that erupted around this method led the company to commit in 1999 not to use it for an indefinite period.. The company's sales strategy is extremely aggressive and also draws sharp criticism.. The company actually enslaves the buyer, puts him under his control and makes him dependent on Monsanto products. The company's turnover is $11.3 billion, $2 billion of which is revenue. Its power extends around the world on a par with the power of other American companies such as McDonald's, Coca-Cola or Pepsi..
