Suppressed Report Shows Cancer Link to GM Potatoes
Doc Ruby writes "After an 8-year-long court battle, Welsh activists have finally been allowed to released a Russian study showing an increased cancer risk linked to eating genetically modified potatoes. While the victory of the Welsh Greenpeace members in the courtroom would seem to vindicate the work of the Russian scientists that did the original research, there are still serious questions to be answered. The trials involved rats being fed several types of potatoes as feed. The rats who were fed GM potatoes suffered much more extensive damage to their organs than with any other type; just the same, serious questions remain about the validity of the findings. The Welsh group wants to use this information to stop the testing of GM crops in the UK, tests currently slated for the spring of this year."
try telling someone starving in africa that food isn't scarce. i hope he rips your guts out.
If you mod me down, I will become more powerful than you can imagine....
You think Greenpeace is pushing for "more controlled testing" of GM foods? HAH! These idiots won't be happy until we stop using any and all GM foods. They only care about testing safety as a side issue, their main thrust is to get rid of it entirely.
this is rage against the potatoes this is. and the rats that died in the experiment were probably too cold in a bloody Russian lab. nothing wrong with gm crops you retards, its not like your stomach uses its DNA to find out where to send it in the body ffs...
