Thank you for sharing, purple_dye.

Relevant read, guys. Specially because it pretty much shows that the toxicity of GM Roundup tolerant corn is independent from the actual presence of Roundup herbicide in the harvest.

This study represents the first detailed documentation of long-
term deleterious effects arising from the consumption of a GM R-
tolerant maize and of R, the most used herbicide worldwide.
Altogether, the significant biochemical disturbances and physi-
ological failures documented in this work confirm the pathological
effects of these GMO and R treatments in both sexes, with different
amplitudes. We propose that agricultural edible GMOs and formu-
lated pesticides must be evaluated very carefully by long term
studies to measure their potential toxic effects.
