Seralini Redux: Roundup-Ready GMO Maize Causes Serious Health Damage

[Chiron]

25. ...and now the rapid full-bore corporate propaganda spewback is because...

...as all GMO propagandists are well aware, the original -- and still valid -- Seralini study did pass peer review with flying colors when it was first published in a mainstream highly rated journal: Elsevier journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology.

The editor who published the story in the first journal was subjected to intense pressure. He retracted the paper over a year after it was published. The decision came after a nontransparent, second review by a panel of unnamed persons of unknown professional competence and with undisclosed potential conflicts of interest.

According to the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), of which FCT is a member, retraction of a paper is reserved for cases of misconduct, error, redundant publication or plagiarism, and unethical research.

None of these criteria apply to the Séralini paper,

Hordes of scientists and biosafety experts then signed a public statement condemning the editor's retraction as an apparent “act of scientific censorship” and demanding that the journal reinstate the study, which they say contains findings of potentially critical importance to public health.

SO THE FACT REMAINS TRUE, NO MATTER WHAT CORPORATE APOLOGISTS may SAY: GMO makes rats -- and people -- sick.

If you care about your health and the health of your family, avoid GMO. Heed the Precautionary Principle. Do not trust corporations which have a long track record of deception and manipulations.
