Subject: Another scientist silenced



Dr Seralini found harm when rats are fedMonsanto's GM corn. His findings were peer reviewed and published.Monsanto threatened to sue. So the journal retracted thestudy.
Just like the attempts to silence Dr ArpadPusztai, Dr Ignacio Chapela, Dr Irina Ermakova, Dr AndresCarrasco, Dr Tyrone Hayes,  Dr Alex Lu...

   Monsanto has threatened to sue the European Food SafetyAuthority (EFSA) over its publication of the data on  Monsanto'sNK603 GM maize.
     Claire Robinson, research director at EarthOpen Source, said: "Monsanto's threat to EFSA clearly shows thatthe company is an enemy to the public. Any reputable company would beproud of its products and open about the science that underpins theirdevelopment."

Paper Tying Rat Cancer to Herbicide Is Retracted
edited 
   Food and Chemical Toxicology (FTC) retracted a paper thatseemed to show that GM corn and the herbicide Roundup can cause cancerand premature death in rats.
   Dr Gilles-Eric Séralini's study followed 200 rats fortwo years, essentially their entire lives. They were divided into 10groups, each with 10 males and 10 females. Some groups were feddifferent amounts of a Monsanto corn genetically engineered to resistthe herbicide Roundup, also known as glyphosate. Some of the corn hadbeen sprayed in the field with Roundup and some not. The rats that ateeither the corn or the glyphosate tended to have more tumors and dieearlier than the 20 rats in the control group, which were fednon-engineered corn and plain water.
   The study passed the peer review process of the journal,which is considered one of the leading publications in toxicology.

   The researcher behind a heavily criticized study linkingMonsanto's GM maize and Roundup products to cancer in rats says hewill not willingly withdraw the research, after the journal issued a'withdraw or be retracted' ultimatum yesterday.
   Professor Seralini suggested that regulators are tooeasily influenced by industry - saying regulatory scienceresembles "a prostitute with industry."
   The FTC journal's own investigation found "noevidence of fraud or intentional misrepresentation of thedata."
