“Mammary tumors that developed in rats fed GMO corn and/or low levels of Roundup. From the paper “Long term toxicity of a Roundup herbicide and a Roundup-tolerant genetically modified maize,” published in Food and Chemical Toxicology”

What a wildly stupid article!

First off, you can’t study the effects of anything if you mix two together in one study, and by feeding the rats herbicide with the corn the entire study is junk BS.

The rats would get just as many tumors and die had they dipped the corn in any number of chemicals or natural compounds not intended for consumption.

You misread the article.

They had four groups of rats: regular food, GMO food only, GMO + Roundup, Roundup only.
