GMO Corn Contributing to Obesty, Disrupts Organs. Are genetically modified foods making you sick and fat Monsantos genetically modified creations have been pegged for causing a plethora of environmental and human harm, but are they also contributing to one of the countrys fastest growing health problemsWe just sent out our first email, offering to raise chickens with soy and corn and even GMOs, only because we are not finding many customers who are willing to. As part of its process for implementing the mandatory GMO disclosure law passed by Congress last year, the U. S. Department of Agriculture has published 30 questions. Genetically Modified Organism GMO Use in the Chicken Industry. June 5, 2013. A study published in the International Journal of Biological Sciences shows that GMO corn and other GM food is indeed contributing to the obesity epidemic and causing organ disruption. While being one of the first to report on a comparative analysis of blood and organ system data of rats fed GMO corn, the study effectively ends the debate as to whether GMO foods are safe regarding health. The study found that GMO corn fed to mice led to an increase in overall body weight of about 3. Crude and relative liver weights are also affected at the end of the maximal 3. GM maize feeding level as well as that of the heart which for corresponding parameters to a comparable extent, showed up to an 1. Additional statistically significant differences include  higher overall body 3. But this 2. 00. 9 study sheds much more light on GMO dangers than mere weight increase. There is a world wide debate concerning the safety and regulatory approval process of genetically modified GM crops and foods. In order to scientifically address this issue, it is necessary to have access to toxicological tests, preferably on mammals, performed over the longest time scales involving detailed blood and organ system analyses. For the first time in the world, weve proven that GMO are neither sufficiently healthy nor proper to be commercializedEach time, for all three GMOs, the kidneys and liver, which are the main organs that react to a chemical food poisoning, had problems, indicated Gilles Eric Sralini, an expert member of the Commission for Biotechnology Reevaluation. Needless to say, Monsantos GMO crops are causing numerous other problems in our world. While contributing to weight gain, the companys GMO corn has been shown to be creating resistant rootworms causing farmers to use even more threatening pesticides on GMO crops. Of course the use of Monsantos Bt  biopesticides has also been shown to to be aiding in decline of our health, recently being found to wreak havoc on human kidney cells. This is an indirect, but very real way GMO crops are causing damage. GMO crops are known to cause short term damage to nature and your biology, but it is perhaps the long term consequences that are most concerning. We currently have information and research regarding the detrimental effects of GMO foods in the short term, but they continue to be used while long term effects are still a mystery even to supporters of GMOs. It is for these reasons, among many others, that GMO crops are continually being banned around the world. Hungary, France, Peru, and others have taken all action against GMO crops and GM foods altogether due to safety hazards these products pose on human health, the ecosystem, and the environment. Syngenta agrees to settle U. 1Ea. S. farmer lawsuits over GMO corn. By Nate RaymondReuters Syngenta AG said on Tuesday it agreed to settle U. S. farmer lawsuits stemming from its decision to commercialize a genetically modified GMO strain of corn before China approved importing it, and a person familiar with the matter said the payment would be close to 1. The settlement does not apply to lawsuits filed by U. S. grain handlers Archer Daniels Midland Co and Cargill Inc CARG. UL against the Swiss seed maker, spokespeople for the three companies said. Cases brought by farmers in Canada are also still pending, Syngenta spokesman Paul Minehart said. Syngenta confirmed it has reached a settlement, without confirming the financial terms. The accord came amid a trial in Minnesota state court that began earlier this month in which around 2. A federal jury in June ordered Syngenta to pay 2.

NaturalNews The all natural label on food products is sort of like a gated community it provides a false sense of security. USDA Certified Organic is the only. S. corn shipments in 2. The settlement was first reported by Bloomberg News. The proposed settlement would allow both sides to avoid the uncertainty of ongoing litigation, Syngenta said in a statement. Plaintiffs lawyers representing corn farmers in the federal litigation in a joint statement confirmed the existence of what they called a preliminary settlement framework. They did not detail financial terms. In 2. 01. 0, Syngenta began selling a strain of insect resistant GMO corn called Agrisure Viptera in the United States. Lawyers for the corn farmers said Syngenta negligently commercialized the seeds before obtaining import approval from China, then a major buyer of U. S. corn. Chinese authorities ultimately rejected millions of tonnes of the U. S. corn imports before the country later approved Viptera for import in December 2.

More than 9. 0 percent of corn grown in the United States, the worlds top supplier, is genetically engineered, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The loss of the Chinese market caused U. S. corn prices to plummet, the farmers lawyers said. Syngenta denied wrongdoing. It said at the time that no company had ever delayed launching a U. S. approved corn product in the United States just because China had yet to approve its import. It also said the decline in sales to China was offset by exports to other countries.
