Get organ-damaging Monsanto Corn off the market
The first-ever public study of the health effects of genetically modified corn shows that three patented crops developed and owned by agriculture giant Monsanto cause liver, kidney and heart damage in mammals.
The FDA has approved all three varieties for sale and consumption in the U.S. and all three are in our food supply right now.
More shocking, the raw data used in the study was from Monsanto’s own testing — the company simply ignored clear indications that their genetically modified corn was causing organ damage.
According to the study’s author, the company’s own data “clearly underlines adverse impacts on kidneys and liver, the dietary detoxifying organs, as well as different levels of damages to heart, adrenal glands, spleen and haematopoietic system.”
The FDA should immediately investigate and at least temporarily rescind approval for all three varieties of corn while research continues. By allowing Monsanto to sell its proprietary but dangerous corn, the FDA is failing to protect the public from needless risk.

That’s insane. GM foods should be banned altogether…
Some products that contain Monsanto GM Corn are;
Applesauce
Asprin and other assorted medicine
Baby Formula
Bread and baked goods
Chinese Food
Cold Cuts
Fast Food
Hot Dogs
Potato Chips
Soft Drinks
Soy Milk
GAHHHHHH!
HOLYSHIT.
you know that high fructose corn syrup that’s in everything? like your soda, sprayed on your mcdonalds food, in wonderbread, and basically everything else? yeap, from corn. and guess what? monsanto seeds are used by 98% of farms, for some really, shady, scary reasons.
watch this - “The Future of Food” to learn about the GMO problems and how companies like Monsanto are royally screwing farmers and the public over by being allowed to patent food, like corn seeds.
if you though food inc was nuts….](http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kw6d56GZ0K1qao557o1_400.jpg)
