New 90-Day Rat Study Destroys Corporate GMO PropagandaBy Brandon Turbeville This is because yet another study has been published demonstrating the negative health effects of GMOs on the intestinal tract. This study by Ibrahim and Okasha entitled Effect of genetically modified corn on the jejunal mucosa of adult male albino rat., and published in the journal Experimental and Toxicologic Pathology has demonstrated that rats fed GM Bt corn MON810 for only 90 days did indeed suffer rather serious damage to the surface mucous membranes of the jejunum which is part of the small intestine. The specific type of corn fed to the rats was MON810: Ajeeb YG. This is a GM version of Ajeeb, which is a local species of corn grown in Egypt. The GM version was created by Monsanto for the Egyptian market. The rats who were fed the GM corn were given the MON810 corn as 30% of their diet. The control group was given the same amount of non-GMO corn. In the group fed GM corn, the finger-like structures in the intestine known as villi that absorbs nutrients from food were clearly damaged. They were both distorted and flattened and some cells were even joined together. The study includes images and shows photographs of the damage. There were also signs of inflammation around the areas of damage in the form of white blood cell infiltration. The mucosal glands were disturbed and blood vessels were congested. There was also an increased level of shedding of mucosal cells, higher rates of division of cells lining the mucosal glands and larger numbers of mucous secreting goblet cells. The damage to the GM-fed rats was so obvious, that the researchers concluded, consumption of GM-corn profoundly alters the jejunal histological [microscopic] structure They also added that, Results from the current study could show that in spite of the assuring reports on GM products, GM corn has profoundly altered the histological structure of the jejunal mucosa at many levels and revealed several alarming signs, as the proliferative and eroded hemorrhagic lesions in addition to several ultrastructural alterations described here for the first time for jejunum under GM corn influence. The researchers also called for more research to be done in order to determine exactly how this strain of GM corn inflicted this type of damage on the intestinal system. Their suppositions include direct damage as a result of the Bt toxin or indirect damage as a result of gut bacteria disruption. The limitations of the study include the fact that the control group was not given the Ajeeb non-GM variety and there was no analysis in terms of the possibility of the presence of pesticide residues and other contaminants. Still, the findings of this new study are extremely significant in that they demonstrate that at best, GM MON810: Ajeeb YG causes damage to the intestinal system. However, the results do seem to indicate that it is the process of genetic modification that is the cause of this damage. This is not the only study of its kind. As GM Watch writes, Two earlier rat feeding studies by Egyptian scientists on the same GM corn, MON810: Ajeeb YG, showed harm in the GM-fed animals. In these cases, the comparator was the appropriate non-GM parent variety Ajeeb, so the ill effects shown in the rats were due to the GM process. In the first study, rats fed the MON810: Ajeeb YG for 45 and 91 days showed differences in organ and body weights and in blood biochemistry, compared with rats fed the non-GM Ajeeb parent variety grown side-by-side under the same conditions. The authors noted that the changes could indicate potential adverse health/toxic effects, which needed further investigation.[3] In the second study, histopathological (microscopic) investigations by the same group of researchers found toxic effects in multiple organs in the rats fed the GM MON810: Ajeeb YG Bt corn for 91 days. Effects included abnormalities and fatty degeneration of liver cells, congestion of blood vessels in kidneys, and excessive growth and necrosis (death) of the intestinal villi. Examination of the testes revealed necrosis and desquamation (shedding) of the spermatogonial cells that are the foundation of sperm cells and thus of male fertility.[4] It is significant that the findings of the second study, namely cell abnormalities, congestion of blood vessels, and damage to the intestinal villi were also found in the new study by Ibrahim and Okasha. It should be noted, that in both of these studies the non-GM Ajeeb variety was used for the control group, thus demonstrating that the process of genetic modification is most likely the culprit for such damage. Likewise it should be noted that the rats showed now outward signs of illness (possibly due to the short duration of the study) but they were clearly sick. Perhaps now we can begin putting to rest the disingenuous claims by GMO proponents that there are no studies showing the dangers of GMOs. As more and more studies are published demonstrating the danger of GMOs corporations, governmental regulatory bodies and scientific call girls as well as the fake news media outlets that constantly tout the benefits of GMOs will continue to lose their credibility.

Dear Monsanto executives, go into hiding now while you still can because were coming for you. Not real threatening, coming from Gazoo, lol Gazoo can snap his fingers and turn you into a water buffalo but prefers to use language as a weapon. The pen is mightier than the sword. Hasnt Monsanto merged with the other Pharma Giant Bayer in Germany? Good point. Dear Bayer executives, your ass is grass (Non GMO). YES Rats are not a good animal for studies because rats given the same vaccines as human children develop autism and doctors will tell you that vaccines dont cause autism. and I always believe my doctor. Monsatino CEOs wont allow their own gut killing gmo into their cafeterias. One of the gut problems not recognized is that GMO ingredients in nutrition supplements may be from GMO sources, e.g., soy-based or other ingredients, i.e., vegetable oils (canola, corn, soy or possibly cottonseed), which also negatively are impacting humans intestinal tracts and microbiome. That would be another reason to purchase organically-grown-ingredients nutrition supplements, vitamins and minerals, and herbs. St. Louis Post Dispatch (from home of Monsanto) had an article a few yrs. back showing pigs fed GMO corn had intestinal damage and weight gain vs. non GMO cornhere is why you see obesity and stomach disorders today. Think Mainstream Media will run Exposes with these Facts? Interesting that the Egyptian study found the same problems. Is corn in the US also 98% GMO? We read that soy is, cotton is. Im pretty sure that folks are having to import organic corn theres so little of it grown in the U.S. The corn that goes into Ethanol being GMO affects us how? Great comment with awesome videos and links. Happy New Year! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7e909cb73371d279704caaef7ed0ac12dca023511ee5388ddc83edb07b1a171a.jpg Yet Hawaii continues to import over 75% of all calories consumed. I wanted to share this on a site away from the ACSH site this is Hank Campbell literally denying that PCBs bioaccumulate. Thats a basic scientific fact. Hes a denier. Hes a total denier of reality for the chemical industry and the ACSH needs to be destroyed. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/eefa1706384c580ff470a8af03bfe53d00da7dd896b0646ac29ad6c64f500584.png Lol, ESP! I just read that exact comment on (what I assumed is Hanks site)but from what Ive seen of that siteI felt that a comment their is like one on GLP, a noble endeavor but not my cup of tea. My first thought after reading that:( we must now be living in the dystopian future portrayed in idiocracy. It is a basic fact, I was going to cite several peer-reviewed papers but if he doesnt believe a word in the dictionarywow, dont even know where to begin. I guess he thinks if the lie is big and he keeps repeating ita propagandist Its like in 1984 where everything is named as the opposite of its true purpose and flat out lies are expected to be acceptedwhat an inappropriately named site. Its strange that this propaganda and GLP are still considered news when searching Google. Youre correct with the previous summation of industry PR attempting to hijack the so called skeptic community. The so called skeptics who; unfortunately, due to the American education system, often seem incapable of a logical thought. The ability to harness the energy of these useful idiots, as they call them, is a travesty. Share what? You going off on Monsanto with your eternal grudge, and being corrected by a knowledgeable person? Whats new in any of that? Its about all you ever do, weve all seen it a hundred times before. A study with a sample size of 10 rats its hardly worth reporting on. Its reporting on weak evidence like this that makes this outlet lose credibility. There isnt any credibility to be lost at this point. Notice the journal has an impact factor of 1.7 and the actual study isnt available without paying to see it. Thats always a huge tell. 10 out of 10 rats doesnt do it for you? Well, no problem, theres plenty of GMO food out there for you. No shortage. Just continue doing exactly what you are doing. We all have Free Will. Mmmm we funaly get study results we should have been provide before we were given the lie substantially equivalent..25 years after the fact.and everyone wants to ignore the pecuniary element of selling glyphosate Just like you want to ignore your criminal record.
