Major Study: Monsanto GMO Corn Can Cause Damage to Liver and Kidneys, and Severe Hormonal Disruption Oliver Tickell, The Economist [re-posted in AlterNet] 7/9/2014
excerpt:
Professor Pete Myers, Chief Executive of Environmental Health Sciences and scientific advisor to the SFT [Sustainable Food Trust] points out that only "the tiniest fraction of agricultural chemicals" have been studied for health effects by independent scientists:
"Over the last two-decades there has been a revolution in environmental health sciences that suggests the proportion of diseases attributable to chemical exposures is far bigger and more significant than previously understood.
"The tools we have available to us to say what is safe and not safe are deeply flawed. They are not based on two decades of development in the fields of endocrine disruption and epigenetics, but instead on tests developed in the 1950s.
"They do not reflect the complexity of mixtures, or the way in which chemicals interact."
