In Seeds of Deception, Smith mentions an Italian study where they fed genetically modified corn to mice. As a result, the mice expressed a wide variety of immune responses commonly associated with diseases such as:
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Osteoporosis
- Atherosclerosis
- Various types of cancer
- Allergies
- Lou Gehrig’s disease
Among them:
- Offspring of rats fed GM soy showed a five-fold increase in mortality, lower birth weights, and the inability to reproduce
- Male mice fed GM soy had damaged young sperm cells
- The embryo offspring of GM soy-fed mice had altered DNA functioning
- Several US farmers reported sterility or fertility problems among pigs and cows fed on GM corn varieties
- Investigators in India have documented fertility problems, abortions, premature births, and other serious health issues, including deaths, among buffaloes fed GM cottonseed products
- Conventional non-organic milk with GM growth hormone, has been linked to increased cancer risk.
Dr. Joseph Mercola conducted an excellent interview with Jeffrey M. Smith. I have linked to it here. Please stay tuned for my full review of this great book -- one of the key pieces in the mystery surrounding a rise in chronic illness and obesity in the U.S.
