http://www.infowars.com/monsanto-apologists-attempt-to-spin-shocking-gmo-study/ The french study that was released this week that showed rats who were fed Monsanto's genetically modified corn suffered from cancer and early death has been met with a response from the defenders of the GMO who are trying to discredit the findings. The study had found that over 50% of male rats and 70% of female rats were fed a diet of NK603-which is GM corn produced by Monsanto- or those exposed to Monsanto's Roundup herbicide suffered from tumors and organ damage causing them to die early. The study was produced by the french scientists at the University of Caen and was published in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology.
Soon after these findings were made public at a news conference in London, numerous scientists rushed to try and defend Monsanto claiming the study was not accurate.
"The strain of rat is very prone to mammary tumors particularly when food intake is not restricted"-said Tom Sanders, who is the head of the nutritional sciences research division at Kings College London. "The statistical methods are unconvential... and it would appear the authors have gone on a statistical fishing trip" However the stats speak for themselves, given only 30 percent of males and 20 percent of females in the control group of rats that were not exposed to Monsanto's products died early- meaning basically that 30% of the male rats were more likely to die from eating Monsanto's corn and females over a shocking 50% more likely to kick the bucket. So Sanders attempt to show the breed of rat being more prone to tumors is treating this study like it was not done with a control group of rats, which is completely bogus. David Spieglhalter of the University of Cambridge attempted to do the same thing by suggesting that the study's untreated control arm only comprised of 10 rats of each gender, most of whom ended up with the tumors again this is another bogus claim and ignores the fact that the rats, whether they got the tumors or they didn't, they were more likely to die early if they were exposed to Monsanto's GM corn and the rest of their products. The STATS don't lie people.
Monsanto keeps pointing to studies that claim that GMO food is safe and did again after this French study came out showing the complete opposite. However those studies were only 90 day trials and unlike the Caen study which tracked the rats throughout their lifespan. It was only after 4 months that these tumors and organ damage suffered by the rats became present.
Monsanto is already in the shit with the European markets as their reputation begins to crumble like crackers which is why these so called experts from these Universities-who have gotten their money from Monsanto- that have been dragged out in order to discredit and debunk these findings and as the next story I am going to post regarding how Monsanto and other companies have spent 19 million dollars to shoot down prop 37 in California that would require labelling of GM foods.
So with that in mind, Why are they so hell bent on stopping this if they say that GM food is safe?? Well given all I have seen regarding this, it is clear to me they don't want people to know what is in there food because it would mean less money for them
And now matter how the establishment tries to cover up the fact that GMO food is a real threat- the proof has already been released
http://www.infowars.com/monsanto-pesticide-companies-have-now-spent-more-than-19-million-to-kill-prop-37/ The latest campaign finance records released by California's Secretary of State has revealed that the most sick, disgusting psychopathic corporation(see above) in the entire planet, Monsanto has forked over another $2.89 million to kill Prop 37, a bill that would have historical impact that would require for the first time that GM food be labelled at the retail level in California. Combine this with the other $4.2 million dollars, Monsanto has officially spent $7.1 million dollars to stop consumers from really knowing what is in the food they are buying. Along with Monsanto, other contributions have come from the other 5 of the "Big Six" as they are called, pesticide firms- Dupont, Bayer, Dow, BASF and Syngenta- together have given $2.6 million dollars to the No on 37 campaign. The article reports that to date the Big Six have given nearly $20 million dollars to keep Californians in the dark about GM food.
Gary Ruskin, who is a campaign manager for the Yes on 37 campaign said "Monsanto wants to buy this election so they can keep hiding what is really in our food", regarding their efforts to stamp out food transparency but as he says" (But) they are on the losing side of history. Californians want the right to know what's in our food, and we will win it.
But interestingly enough, all of this funding for No on 37 is coming from GMO food companies not even based in the State of California as the Big 6 are located outside of the state, which goes to show you how far reaching this prop 37 is only one of the ten antagonists in the fight for food honesty Nestle USA is out of California and even has roots in Switzerland. The article has a list of contributors of the No on 37 which is trying to stop GM food labelling and they are:
1)Monsanto, St. Louis, MO $7,100,500
2)E.I Dupont De Nemours & Co., Washington, DC $4,900,000
3)BASF Plant Science, Research Triangle Park, NC $2,000,000
4)Bayer CropScience, Research Triangle Park, NC $2,000,000
5) Dow Agrosciences LLC, Indianapolis, IN, $2,000,000
6)PepsiCo,Inc, Purchase, NY, $1,716,300
7)Nestle USA, Inc., Glendale,CA, $1,169,400
8)Coca-Cola North America, Atlanta, GA $1,164,400
9)ConAgra Foods, Omaha, NE, $1,1076,700
10) Syngenta Corporation, Washington, DC, $1,000,000
so you as you can see these companies have stake in making sure that you don't know what is in your food because every single one of them either produces GMO food or uses GMO's in their products.
If Prop 37 goes through, you can bet these companies will lose huge shares as Coca-Cola and Pepsi for example would have to reformulate their products to exclude GMO foods from being in them or risk losing their loyal customers by labelling GMO's in which Monsanto compared it to putting a "skull and cross bones"
Since large food companies send their food across the US, having this labelling in California would cause a huge sweep of changes which is why Californians need to get to polls and Vote yes on 37 the article stresses..
http://energycommerce.house.gov/sites/republicans.energycommerce.hearings/EP/20120920/HHRG-112-IFO3-Wstate-ChristyJ-20120920.pdf this report is 36 pages long and is well worth it as Dr. Christy exposes the junk science used by so called climatologists like Hansen and the rest of the eco-fascists to con the public, as well as expose the myth that CO2 is a pollutant which I will quote: "Atmospheric CO2 is food for plants, which means it is food for people and animals. More CO2 generally means more food for all. Today affordable carbon based energy is a key component to lifting people out of crippling poverty. So, rising CO2 emissions are one indication of poverty reduction which gives hope for those now living in marginal existence without basic needs brought by electrification, transportation and industry. Additionally, modern, carbon-based energy reduces the need for deforestation and alleviates other environmental problems such as water and deadly indoor-air pollution. Until affordable and reliable energy is developed from non-carbon sources, the world will continue to use carbon as the main energy source" and because of our CO2 contributions forest growth over the past 40-50 years I read somewhere has increased by at least 40%. CO2 is the not the devil the eco-fascists make it out to be, It is essential to all life on this Earth, Our green world is all thanks to CO2 and food for plants means food for all humanity and the animals that rely on them and studies have shown that the more CO2 in the atmosphere food crops like rice have higher yields which is obviously not a bad thing but again the eco-fascists do not care about these facts as long as they are allowed to control our lives under this hoax of CO2 boiling the planet and despite what warmonger Bush said about us being addicted to oil, it is because of cheap energy we enjoy high standards of living, longer lives, freedom to travel anywhere in the world or even to visit our family members,homes that have heating and cooling systems which allow us to be comfortable in the cold and hot months, it means healthy fresh food, internet, healthcare and etc.. But unfortunately the global elite and the radical environmental whack jobs do not want this for the 3rd world as I have explained numerous times because they think that living in shacks made of animal shit and mud and burning wood that has toxic fumes in it so they can cook and heat their makeshift houses is acceptable and it is because of the private banking cartel and these genocidal elite, our economy is being destroyed by design here in the West and around the world thus the shut down of coal plants and other sources of cheap energy is under way. Hell they closed the coal plant in Atikokan, Ontario (which is west of Thunder Bay, where I currently reside) and they openly bragged in the media how they have closed 11 of our 19 coal plants here In Ontario and we pay the highest electric rates in the country at 46% because our wonderful corrupt provincial government bought into the green energy scam. This was never about the environment, this is about genocide and control over the world under the tyrannical New World Order..
