An Assessment of a Study on the Toxicity of GM Corn and Roundup Herbicide<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The article \u201cLong Term Toxicity of a Roundup Herbicide and a Roundup-tolerant Genetically Modified Maize\u201d was evaluated. The article describes a two-year study of the effects of genetically modified (GM) corn on rats\u2019 health. When rats were fed GM corn or Roundup, they developed more tumors, and had a higher mortality rate, than other rats. The authors concluded that transgenes in GM corn disrupted essential biochemical pathways. Although the methodology could be improved by increasing the number of rats tested, the conclusions seemed reasonable. This is the most detailed study to report long-term effects of GMOs on mammalian health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
