Be aware of the risks you take with the food you give to your children! -or eat yourself!
I'm glad that I have been eating and made Organic food for nearly 30 years now! I guess that is why I'm still alive and well?! And people call me crazy? Now I'm proud to be called CRAZY :)

Study reveals signs of toxicity of GE maize approved for human consumption
"Laboratory rats, fed with a genetically engineered (GE) maize produced by Monsanto, have shown signs of toxicity in kidney and liver, according to a new study.(1) This is the first time that a GE product which has been cleared for use as food for humans and animals has shown signs of toxic effects on internal organs.
The study, published today in the journal “Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology”, analysed results of safety tests submitted by Monsanto to the European Commission when the company was seeking authorisation to market its GE Maize variety MON863 in the EU. (2)
The data shows that MON863 has significant health risks associated with it; nonetheless, the European Commission granted licences to market the maize for consumption by both humans and animals. (3)
The incriminating evidence was obtained by Greenpeace following a court case (4), and passed on for evaluation by a team of experts headed by Professor Gilles Eric Séralini, a governmental expert in genetic engineering technology from the University of Caen. (5)
In a joint press conference with Greenpeace at Berlin, Professor Séralini said, “Monsanto’s analyses do not stand up to rigorous scrutiny – to begin with, their statistical protocols are highly questionable. Worse, the company failed to run a sufficient analysis of the differences in animal weight. Crucial data from urine tests were concealed in the company’s own publications.”
Greenpeace is demanding the complete and immediate withdrawal of Monsanto’s MON 863 maize from the global market and is calling upon governments to undertake an urgent reassessment of all other authorised GE products and a strict review of current testing methods.
“This is the final nail in the coffin for the credibility of the current authorisation system for GE products. Once it’s known that a system designed to protect human and animal health has approved a high-risk product despite clear evidence of its dangers, we need to start ‘strip-searching’ all GE products on the market, and immediately abort this flawed approval procedure,” said Christophe Then, Genetic Engineer campaigner, Greenpeace International.
The data in question has been the subject of fierce debate since 2003, when significant changes were identified in the blood of tested animals fed on MON863. MON863 was approved by the European Commission, in spite of opposition by a majority of EU member states, who raised concerns over the safety of the maize. Professor Séralini’s analysis now scientifically confirms these concerns. As the study states, “with the present data, it cannot be concluded that GM corn MON863 is a safe product.” And yet, MON863 has been authorised for markets in Australia, Canada, China, Japan, Mexico, the Phillipines, and USA, besides the EU.
“This is an international emergency alert, requiring a global response,” concluded Then, “Only a complete withdrawal from all markets will curtail the possible damage".”
What are the chances we have already eaten this corn? I'd say pretty good, even though consumers aren't allowed to know if they are eating it. Don't you just love knowing you may be eating food produced by the same company that made PCBs and Agent Orange? MMM MMM good.

I am aware of the oil-based "everything" that is been used everywhere, they have to dump the wast somewhere - why not bake it into our food, drinks ... everything!!!!???? Yes, if the world knew what they eat, they would have gone agricult themselves - everyone!

Hello Larry, I'm in for the coral reeves, wolves, icebears and others. But what did you say about posting my replies to the GP blog ... I do not know how to do that!!!!!

... is it possible... that purely "aiming high" at greater profit... industrial giants have created the deadly toxic chemical byproducts from oil... and upon knowing the severity of their problem... dumped it... into the only Living Oceans in the entire universe... contaminating the Ocean's food chain and the environment... eroding the immune system of countless dying species... from coral reefs to honey bees... a plague of cancer in turtles, dolphins and humans... nuero-toxic brain damage in developing infants who innocently consume breast milk...
btw... you've heard that living near power lines causes cancer... but it's not the electricity.... what kind of oil do you think was used for the insulating heat transfer medium in millions of transformers... and what chemical is being transported up the food chain by tiny bits of edible oil based plastic in the oceans... globally...
and now... "aiming high"... at the world's food crop... assisted with the keen focus of patent attorneys... who aim even higher...

PCB + Plastic + Ocean + Sunlight = Autism....
There appears to be a catastrophe unfolding in our Oceans... with a soup of plastic and industrial toxins that are making there way up the entire food chain... leading to a 300% increase in autism and other neuro-developmental anomalies that are occurring across species... as well as cancers and impairments to the immune system, from the coral reef polyps on up to the great Orcas... and to us... sitting at the "apparent" top of the food chain...
please see my blog on PCB's, ocean, plastic, autism, cancer
however... please post your replies on the Greenpeace blog in an effort to get this message to a wider audience.
While fighting whale killers is a noble cause... it now appears that Industrial Giants have caused a greater harm to all life on the planet and our environmental campaigns need to reflect the reality of this unfolding crisis at Sea, while there is still a window of opportunity... "yes we can" do something to reduce the plastic and industrial chemicals still being dumped into the Ocean... "yes we can" launch efforts to remove the plastic still floating on the Oceans surface... this is not a message of doom and gloom... but instead... an all stations eco-alarm bell sounding loud and clear.
We passed the point of urgency when it became controversial if mothers can safely breast feed their newborn child... due to the risk of Autism from the industrial toxin PCB.... being passed to the innocent developing infants brain....
