In 1997-1998, experimental analyses in Britain and other countries found that genetically modified (GM) foods led to health abnormalities in certain animals and anomalies in the areas where they were grown. Research funded by the British government showed that rats that consumed genetically modified potatoes showed abnormalities such as early signs of liver cancer, underdeveloped testes, and partial atrophy of the immune and nervous systems.

1997 German farmer Klauner began planting Syngenta Bt-176 corn test plots, for the first three years, the corn grows happily and pest-free, when in 2001, he used this corn to feed his cows, the cows began to have violent diarrhea and stopped producing milk, in the end, he lost a total of 70 cows ****.

Truth Crowner lost 12 cows a **** and 7 died after stopping the GM feed. His cows would die because of moldy feed. In Spain, Bt176 is planted on at least 22,000 hectares, and the Spanish Ministry of the Environment has confirmed that it has never found any animals eating bt GM maize to have developed significant disease or death.

In the fall of 1998, Professor Pusztai, of the Rowett Institute in Scotland, went on television and publicly claimed that his experiments had proved that lab rats' kidneys, thymus glands, and spleens had grown abnormally or atrophied or grown improperly, that their brains had atrophied, and that several of their vital organs had been damaged and their immune systems weakened.

See below for the truth Food Safety Controversy #2: The Pusztai Incident, where the results of the experiment could not be duplicated.

In 1998, European Union countries passed laws that strictly limited GM agricultural operations to laboratory settings or closed areas.

In 1999, John Losey, a researcher at Cornell University in the United States, published a report in the British journal Nature that feeding spotted butterflies with leaves coated with pollen from Bt-transferred maize resulted in the death of 44 percent of the larvae.

The years 2000 to 2001 saw more confirmation of the discovery of ecological anomalies in areas where transgenics were planted, for example, transgenic varieties of maize, which had not yet been found to have anomalies in themselves, but had anomalies in the wild ecosystems that surrounded them, and varieties of transgenic sugar beets, which were shown to have anomalies found in both themselves and their environments in field trials. In response, government agriculture departments in the United States, Canada, Britain and the European Union have urgently set up agro-ecological and environmental protection working groups, and have begun strict monitoring measures around the clock in genetically modified planting areas.

In 2004, a scandal erupted over Syngenta's genetically modified Bt-176 corn, which was used as supplemental feed for cows by farmers in northern Hesse, Germany, who had been test-planting the corn since 1997, and all the cows died when the farmers started to increase the proportion of the corn in their feeds in 2000.In 2004, Prof. Helbig, of Switzerland's Federal Institute of Technology's Institute of Geobotany, found that the corn was not safe for human consumption. Institute of Botany, Prof. Helbig discovered that the Bt toxin in Bt-176, which is used to poison the European corn borer, could not be broken down and eventually poisoned the cows.

On May 22, 2005, the British newspaper The Independent revealed a report by Monsanto, a well-known biotechnology company, that rats fed genetically modified food showed organ mutations and altered blood composition.

On November 16, 2005, Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) published a research report showing that a four-week experiment showed that the lungs of mice fed genetically modified peas developed inflammation, and that the mice suffered from allergic reactions and became more sensitive to other allergens, and accordingly called a halt to a 10-year, US$3 million experiment on genetically modified peas. and a $3 million dollar GM project was halted. Therefore, GM results that cause problems like this will not be applied on a large scale, and will be stopped even if they cost a lot of money. The ones that do get used are safe.

In 2006, Dr. Irina Ermakova, a scientist at the Institute for Advanced Neural Activity and Neurophysiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, found that more than half of the pups of rats that consumed genetically engineered soybean food died in the first three weeks of their lives, six times the mortality rate of rats that didn't consume genetically engineered soybeans.

In 2007, with funding from the Austrian government, Prof. Zetke and his research team conducted experiments on a "cross between transgenic maize NK603 (herbicide-resistant) and transgenic maize MON810 (Bt-resistant)" developed by Mundusan. After 20 weeks of observation, it was found that the genetically modified products affected the reproductive ability of mice.

In October and November 2007, the New York Times and other media in the United States reported that, after a long period of careful follow-up and observation, it was found that the planting of two types of genetically modified maize had led to the injury of butterflies' survival, and that the level of threat to ecological and environmental safety was beyond the acceptable level. For this reason, the European Union has made a preliminary decision to ban the sale and use of seeds of the genetically modified corn.

In 2007, French scientists confirmed that a type of genetically modified corn produced by Monsanto was toxic to the livers and kidneys of rats.

XIV

Research published in the December 2009 issue of the International Journal of Biological Sciences showed that three varieties of Monsanto's genetically engineered corn damaged the livers, kidneys and other organs of rats. Of the three GM corn varieties, one is designed to be resistant to a broad-spectrum herbicide (known as Roundup-ready), and the other two contain bacterial-derived proteins with insecticide properties. The study utilized Monsanto's own raw data.

According to the official website of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China*** and the State of China, "In order to make the 2010 Shanghai World Expo a successful, wonderful and unforgettable one, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Shanghai Municipal Government, in conjunction with the Ministry of Education, the Chinese Academy of Science, the Chinese Academy of Engineering and other 10 departments and units have specially set up a leading group of science and technology of the World Expo. Launch the implementation of the Expo Science and Technology Special Action, organization and mobilization of national scientific and technological forces and scientific and technological resources, to carry out joint public relations, for the successful preparation and organization of the Shanghai World Expo to provide scientific and technological support." Among them, in terms of food safety, has successfully developed a rapid detection of "food pathogens, toxic and hazardous substances, genetically modified ingredients" and so on "a number of food safety testing products, and has been in Shanghai and the surrounding areas of the testing organization demonstration use." Truth official website original text has and is really genetically modified ingredients words, not the ulterior motive of the rumor makers add. [7]

Scientists have proven that consumption of genetically modified food leads to loss of fertility in offspring! And it has been found that third generation hamsters consuming GM foods in experiments had deformities and actually grew hair in their mouths! GMO food is absolutely harmful!
