Genetically Engineered Foods: An experiment on the Masses.

Genetically Engineered Foods: An experiment on the Masses.
===============================================
Pusztai found that rats fed GM potatoes had
smaller livers, hearts, testicles and brains, as
well as damaged immune systems; they showed
structural changes in their white blood cells, making
them more vulnerable to infection and disease compared
to other rats fed non- GM potatoes. It got worse.Thymus
and spleen damage showed up, as did enlarged tissues,
including the pancreas and intestines. There were
cases of liver atrophy as well as significant proliferation
of stomach and intestinal cells that could be a sign of
greater future risk of cancer. Equally alarming was that
all this happened after only 10 days of testing, and the
changes persisted after 110 days- that's the human equivalent
of 10 years.
