Sucks if you’re a rat

Probably should have read the warning label: “Don’t drink this stuff, it will kill you!”.

Led by Professor Gilles-Eric Seralini, the researchers studied 10 groups, each containing 10 male and 10 female rats, over their normal lifetime. Three groups were given Roundup – developed by Monstanto – in their drinking water at three different levels consistent with exposure through the food chain from crops sprayed with the herbicide.

What I'd like to know is if the doses were adjusted for body weight. Lab rats weigh about 1 lb. If you fed a rat a 2000 calorie human diet, it would die on the first day, because it only needs 60. If you made a rat drink 8 glasses of water per day, it would die of excessive water consumption on the first day.

The benefits of modern herbicides and GM crops are without question, but this stuff sure makes you wonder.

the one bright side to this is that I can't think of a better company to suffer the monetary losses if this turns out to be absolute and true. Monsanto is nothing but downright evil. Their goal has been to destroy anyone and everyone who refuses to play the game and they have been winning the battle. Now we find out their product is dangerous... hopefully the tables turn on them and they are eventually destroyed.
