Russia Prohibits Frankencorn

After a ground-breaking French study of Monsanto's frankencorn that linked life-time consumption of genetically modified corn to massive tumors and organ failure in rats, Russia has banned the importation and use of GMO corn within the country. The study showed that about 50% of males and 70% of females died prematurely as a result of eating only seed modified to tolerant Monsanto's "Roundup" herbicide or drinking water treated with "Roundup" at levels approved by the US government. The study was lead by Gilles-Eric Seralini of the University of Caen and published in the journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology. Besides the ban in Russia, the vice-chair of the European Commission for Agriculture, has called for the immediate ban on cultivation and import of GMO to the European Union. France recently upheld a ban on growing GMO crops.  Monsanto continues spewing its corporate line that GMO crops are safe for human consumption and "Roundup" herbicide is non-toxic to humans. The US government, captured by corporate interests, continues to ignore the scientific evidence of the dangers of GMO substances. However, other countries are taking action.  Poland, Peru and Hungary have banned or removed Monsanto's GMO products.  California has placed Proposition 37 on the ballot which proposes to label GMO products so consumers can avoid them if they so choose, and unless you are willing to risk tumors the size of golf balls, who in their right mind would not avoid them like the plague?
