from sustainablepulse.com: A groundbreaking new study [1] shows that pigs were harmed by the
consumption of feed containing genetically modified (GM) crops.



GM-fed females had on average a 25% heavier uterus than non-GM-fed
females, a possible indicator of disease that requires further
investigation. Also, the level of severe inflammation in stomachs was
markedly higher in pigs fed on the GM diet. The research results were
striking and statistically significant. 

Lead researcher Dr Judy Carman, adjunct associate professor at Flinders
University, Adelaide, Australia,[2] said: “Our findings are noteworthy
for several reasons. First, we found these results in real on-farm
conditions, not in a laboratory, but with the added benefit of strict
scientific controls that are not normally present on farms.

“Second, we used pigs. Pigs with these health problems end up in our food supply. We eat them.



“Third, pigs have a similar digestive system to people, so
we need to investigate if people are also getting digestive problems
from eating GM crops.




“Fourth, we found these adverse effects when we fed the
animals a mixture of crops containing three GM genes and the GM proteins
that these genes produce. Yet no food regulator anywhere in the world
requires a safety assessment for the possible toxic effects of mixtures.
Regulators simply assume that they can’t happen.




“Our results provide clear evidence that regulators need to
safety assess GM crops containing mixtures of GM genes, regardless of
whether those genes occur in the one GM plant or in a mixture of GM
plants eaten in the same meal, even if regulators have already assessed
GM plants containing single GM genes in the mixture.â€


The new study lends scientific credibility to anecdotal
evidence from farmers and veterinarians, who have for some years
reported reproductive and digestive problems in pigs fed on a diet
containing GM soy and corn.
