health authorities blatantly lied

Scientists, health authorities blatantly lied to public in wake of study showing GMO corn causes organ damage and cancer

(NaturalNews) It has been more than four months now since the most
comprehensive study evaluating the health risks associated with a
lifetime of consuming genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) was
published in a credible, peer-reviewed scientific journal. And to this
day, the mainstream scientific community is still busy manufacturing
lies about the study in an attempt to discredit it.

In case you
missed it, a French study back in September found that rats fed a
lifetime of Monsanto's GM NK603 corn developed severe organ damage and
cancerous tumors, among other major health problems. The study is the
only one, to date, to fully evaluate the effects of GMO consumption over
a lifetime, as opposed to the typical 90 days maximum typically
evaluated by the biotechnology industry. (http://www.naturalnews.com)

But
the release of this timely and pertinent study has not been received
well by those with a vested interest in promoting GMOs, not to mention
scientists who benefit handsomely from industry-backed grants and other
corporate financial support. Thus, there has been an onslaught of
misinformation released regarding the study that aims to minimize and
discredit its findings.

"Within hours of the study's release, it
was shouted down as flawed and meaningless by a chorus of scientist
critics," writes Claire Robinson for Public Service Europe (PSE) about the unfolding scenario surrounding the study's release. "The focus of the story shifted from the alarming health risks of a poorly tested GM food to 'junk science' that should never have been published."


Politicians, mainstream media attempt to destroy GMO rat study

One
particularly vocal purveyor of lies following the study's release was
Corinne Lepage, a member of the European Parliament. Almost immediately
after the study was
published, Lepage declared it to be a "bomb," echoing the irrational
sentiments of many others throughout government and industry who were
apparently deeply offended by the the study's findings.

The
mainstream media quickly joined in on the deception as well, repeating
lies that the study was poorly conducted, for instance, or that the rats
used were already prone to developing tumors regardless of what they
ate. In truth, the rats were of the same common breed used by Monsanto
and many other companies to test product safety. And the study itself
was conducted in accordance with rigorous scientific standards.

"Contrary
to the critics' message, the 'scientific community' has not united to
condemn Seralini's study," adds Robinson. "Many scientists, unconnected
with Seralini's group, are alarmed by what they see as suppression of
scientific findings that are inconvenient to commercial or political
interests ... All studies have flaws and limitations. But many said that
this was the most detailed study that had ever been done on the health
effects of a GM food that's already in our food supply."

PSE has since set up a support page for Gilles-Eric Seralini of the University of Caen,
the main author of the GMO rat study, that contains further details
about this landmark study, as well as responses to the critics' lies
about its findings. You can access that page here: http://gmoseralini.org/
