Genetically Modified Maize Is Toxic — Greenpeace

gandracu writes "It appears that a variety of genetically modified maize produced by Monsanto is toxic for the liver and kidneys. What's worse, Monsanto knew about it and tried to conceal the facts in its own publications. Greenpeace fought in court to obtain the data and had it analyzed by a team of experts. MON863, the variety of GM maze in question, has been authorized for markets in the US, EU, Australia, Canada, China, Japan, Mexico, and the Philippines. Here are Greenpeace's brief on the study and their account of how the story was unearthed (both PDFs)."

This story sounds like a good opportunity to process all this "poisonous" corn into ethanol, but I doubt you'd find much support for that in Greenpeace.

Just like Greenpeace opposes nuclear energy, despite its overwhelming benefits. Greenpeace's stances rarely have any ground in reality or practicality, and I stand by my original assertion that because of that, they are irrelevant.

Come back when they start proposing practical, realistic solutions to our environmental problems.
