New Study Links Genetically Engineered Corn to Infertility
… In a new Austrian study ....it has been discovered that GM corn has a damaging effect upon the reproductive system (1). The work was done at the request of the Austrian Health Ministry,and the results were presented yesterday by Professor Jurgen Zentek and his team to an expert conference organized by the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety. The work was done at the University of Vienna,using a GM maize hybrid line called NK603 xMON810..
… difference was statistically significant. Mice fed with GM-free corn reproduced more rapidly. In a series of carefully-controlled trials,it was also discovered that there was a statistically significant decrease in litter weight in the third and fourth litters of mice in the GM-fed group as compared to the control group.

Keep in mind that just like in global warming there are researchers dedicated to showing problems with GMO foods. I am not saying there is anything wrong with the study cited since I havent read it, but these days science like everything else is becoming politicized.

Here is an update on that study, it has been withdrawn by the Austrian Govt. It also was not a peer reviewed study.
