Still think GMOs and their non-GMO counterparts are equivalent? Think again. Unlike GM corn, non-GMO corn doesn’t cause sterility. A new study released by Egyptian scientists found that rats fed a GMO diet suffer from infertility, among other health issues.
Researchers from the Food Technology Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Anatomy and Embryology, and Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Suez Canal University, Ismailia, Egypt, have found that several unsavory changes occur when rats were fed GM corn.
The rats’ organs/body weight and serum biochemistry were altered, indicating potential adverse health and toxic effects.
“GM corn or soybeans leads to significant organ disruptions in rats and mice, particularly in livers and kidneys. In addition they found other organs may be affected too, such as heart and spleen, or blood cells. The kidneys of males fared the worst, with 43.5% of all the changes, the liver of females followed with 30.8%”
Additionally, by day 91, many of the rats fed a GM diet were completely sterile.
As reported by Sustainable Pulse:
“In the third study, histopathological examination was carried out on the rats fed the GM maize, and the results were compared with rats fed non-GM maize. The study found clear signs of organ pathology in the GM-fed group, especially in the liver, kidney, and small intestine. An examination of the testes revealed necrosis (death) and desquamation (shedding) of the spermatogonial cells that are the foundation of sperm cells and thus male fertility – and all this after only 91 days of feeding.”

How long do you think this effect will take to show up in human beings who eat GM food?
The study abstract reads:
“This study was designed to evaluate the safety of genetically modified (GM) corn (Ajeeb YG). Corn grains from Ajeeb YG or its control (Ajeeb) were incorporated into rodent diets at 30% concentrations administered to rats (n= 10/group) for 45 and 91 days…General conditions were observed daily…and serum biochemistry were measured. The data showed several statistically significant differences in organs/body weight and serum biochemistry between the rats fed on GM and/or Non-GM corn and the rats fed on AIN93G diets.
In general, GM corn sample caused several changes by increase or decrease organs/body weight or serum biochemistry values. This indicates potential adverse health/toxic effects of GM corn and further investigations still needed.”
This study simply corroborates previous findings, proving the same deleterious effects. Russian biologist Alexey V. Surov and his colleagues found that Monsanto’s genetically modified (GM) soy, grown on 91% of US soybean fields, leads to problems in growth or reproduction – in many cases, causing infertility. Animals who ate GM soy were sterile by the third generation.
Years ago, Natural Society unveiled proof that hamsters fed Monsanto’s GM soy for two years had growth and development abnormalities, and also – became sterile.
If you don’t see a pattern here, you might need to look again.
Gee, you would think it would be so simple to control the rat population in this world then. No, instead they seem to thrive in the real world on gmo grain.
Good work Bobo, get a cracker! Don’t read the study. Here look at the pictures.

Maybe if they did there studies in 30 days your toxins will be declared safe. I wouldn’t want to be in your shoes when people figure out your making them and there families sick and sterile for fun and profit!
There’s still a few family farms left. You better watch out for the farmers wife, She’ll cut off your tail with a carving knife.
From what I see, the diets are mixtures of stuff, not cooked. Since most all human foods made with field corn are cooked, these tests do not correlate with human consumption.. To compare with human consumption, they need to look at cooked foods and grow several generations to see any reproductive effects as claimed by a Russian experiment.
I still wouldn’t eat it, if I were you.
Lol, you also have to remember that they can’t even recreate the Russian experiment and come out with anything tpclise to the same results.
How much does MonSATAN pay you to troll for their poisons?
Did you know MonSatan is the creator of Saccharine, A$$partame, PCVs, DDT,
Agent Orange, Bovine Growth Hormone & Glyphosate, which have ALL been linked to health problems. BAN MonSatan, forget labeling, BAN THEM OUTRIGHT.
Did you know – In 2001 Epicyte Corporation isolated a protein that causes
STERILITY and spliced its gene into CORN so that men and women would become sterile. They sold that technology to MonSatan and to DuPont. To date NO Congressperson, NO Senator and NO Presidential candidate has dared ask MonSatan, DuPont or Epicyte why they are selling Genetically Modified CORN that sterilizes us and our children. Instead, they mandated that ALL corn needed to be from MonSatan. Further, they put FDA approved High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) in just about everything to ensure people get the sterility gene. There is truly something EVIL about our politicians. $$$$$… and the sheeple trust that Federal Death Administration (FDA) approved is good. If it’s not ORGANIC don’t buy it! Reject all products containing HFCS. Geez, is this too difficult? Vote with your wallet and try to be healthy while bankrupting MonSatan.
MonSatan doesn’t have my consent to use my body as a science experiment.
Did you come up with this before or after the Martians came to visit you?
What frustrates me about this post is the lack of data. Those that are pro-GMO site that there are no legitimate studies to refute GMO. When a study is quoted as saying, “by day 91, many of the rats fed a GM diet were completely sterile,” you do not have quantifiable information. Many could be 3 or 5 or 500. But the fact that a ratio or percentage is not mentioned makes this article sound like it is hiding accurate information. That is not respected data, that is hype. Those concerned about GMO food MUST do legitimate research and present legitimate data findings to be respected as having a legitimate voice in the conversation. Trust me, those that are pro-GMO have their numbers at the ready.
