By reviewing data from 19 animal studies, Professor Gilles-Eric S\u00e9ralini and others reveal that 9% of the measured parameters, including blood and urine biochemistry, organ weights, and microscopic analyses (histopathology), were significantly disrupted in the GM-fed animals. The kidneys of males fared the worst, with 43.5% of all the changes. The liver of females followed, with 30.8%. The report, published in Environmental Sciences Europe on March 1, 2011, confirms that \u201cseveral convergent data appear to indicate liver and kidney problems as end points of GMO diet effects.\u201d The authors point out that livers and kidneys \u201care the major reactive organs\u201d in cases of chronic food toxicity.<br \/>\nThe GM soybean and corn varieties used in the feeding trials \u201cconstitute 83% of the commercialized GMOs\u201d that are currently consumed by billions of people. While the findings may have serious ramifications for the human population, the authors demonstrate how a multitude of GMO-related health problems could easily pass undetected through the superficial and largely incompetent safety assessments that are used around the world. <a href=\"http:\/\/cryptogon.com\/?p=21734\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/cryptogon.com\/?p=21734<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new paper shows that consuming genetically modified (GM) corn or soybeans leads to significant organ disruptions in rats and mice, particularly in livers and kidneys.
