    So this is all speculation and theory since the study hasn’t been done yet… sounds more like a sales pitch to get funding for it than a report about it in general. 🙁

    1. Many studies have been done showing mammals become tumor ridden when fed with Monsanto’s GMO grains. We need to keep the information well organized and presented in such a way that the public can determine their own health risks.

        I’d love to see citations to any of them… so far, all I’ve seen are the statement that they’ve been done, but none that cite any of the research or studies.
        Don’t get me wrong, I’m all in favor of limiting Monsanto’s reach (especially since we’ve become uninformed and unconsenting guinea pigs over the past few decades), but making statements without proof just makes the cause in general look a bit silly in the eyes of anyone who is skeptical or wants more information. :-

    If it sounds too good to be true…….
    Don’t let the masters of deception keep playing you for fools. These pathological liars of the biotech companies have put themselves in a position where they must be considered guilty until proven innocent. You can count on them using every trick in the book to manipulate the outcome of the study. This is nothing more than a public relations stunt to shut people up for three years so they can continue down their road of destruction while the study is being conducted. There are some key issues that are not being addressed, that are vital in order to perform a comprehensive study. First of all, the reason that there are currently no scientific studies that provide proof that GMO’s are harmful is because of one simple reason,
    ———————————————————————————————————
    ISSUE #1:
    It is impossible to independently verify that GMO crops such as Monsanto Roundup Ready Soybeans or MON8110 GMO maize perform as the company claims, or that, as the company also claims, that they have no harmful side effects because the GMO companies forbid independent testing to determine if their products are safe!
    Scientists are prohibited from testing a seed to explore under what conditions it flourishes or even fails. They cannot compare any characteristics of the GMO seed with any other GMO or non-GMO seeds from another company. Most alarming, they are prohibited from examining whether the genetically modified crops lead to unintended side-effects either in the environment or in animals or humans.
    The only research which is permitted to be published in reputable scientific peer-reviewed journals are studies which have been pre-approved by Monsanto and the other industry GMO firms.
    Monsanto, Pioneer (DuPont) and Syngenta require anyone buying their GMO seeds to sign an agreement that explicitly forbids that the seeds be used for any independent research.
    Furthermore, in 1992, at the request of Monsanto, then President George H.W. Bush proclaimed that no special Government tests of safety for GMO seeds would be conducted because they were deemed by the President to be “substantially equivalent” to non-GMO seeds.
    ———————————————————————————————————
    So, unless Monsanto and the other GMO seed companies have had a change of heart recently, it will be illegal to use the seeds that are needed for the study.
    ———————————————————————————————————
    ISSUE #2:
    If the results of the study reveal the truth about the harmful side-effects of GMO’s, the biotech companies will simply claim the tests to be invalid due to conflict of interest. This is a safety net that has been built in to the study by the condition that ‘Factor GMO’ will accept funds from all sources except the biotech industry. Therefore, by accepting funds from sources that oppose GMO’s and have an agenda against the biotech firms will be viewed as being one sided and in conflict.
    ———————————————————————————————————
    Additionally, Monsanto will pick apart every process in the study, as they have done in the past, until it is completely polluted with deception and non-scientific arguments in order to prevent a consensus from being achieved beyond a doubt. Ironically, studies performed by Monsanto are considered classified information and are not allowed to be scrutinized for accuracy or integrity.
    It would be prudent to remain cautious about depending on this study for being able to finally provide the scientific evidence needed to force the FDA and and the other Monsanto puppets that have been elected into office, to actually serve their purpose of acting in the best interest of the citizens that they work for. History has taught us enough to prevent us from setting ourselves up only to be let down again. Remaining hopeful for a positive outcome is simply foolish. Monsanto and the gang count on the naivety and the inherent trusting nature of people to use to their advantage.
