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

[Dr Hobbitstein]

26. Actually, it IS the same.

The plants where genetically modified when they were selectively bread and selectively MUTATED. It was the mutations that they wanted to create the modern strains. It's a genetic modification, no matter which way you look at it...

But sticking to the modern definition:

Monsanto was not the first to make a GMO. That was GE.

Then there was Humulin insulin, which was GMO.

Followed by the first GMO produce on the market: Flavr Savr tomatoes, made by California-based Calgene. That was 1994.

Monsanto didn't enter the GMO marketplace until the advent and wide-spread use of Round-Up, when the need for a glyphosate-resistant strain of foods arose. BTW - Round-Up (glyphosate) is water soluble, and will dissipate from the area it is sprayed on within a day or two, leaving NOTHING behind. I use it in my garden at the beginning of every season. Spray the area down, let everything else whiter and die, till the soil, replant. I don't generally use pesticides when I garden, as I spend enough time out there to take care of pests and weeds. But the Round-Up really helps clear out a large space in a quick time.
