EU food safety regulators say there is no need to reevaluate the safety of Monsanto's (MON)...

    EU food safety regulators say there is no need to reevaluate the safety of Monsanto's (MON) genetically engineered NK603 corn because a study linking the crop to cancer in rats contained serious defects. The EU's decision comes after the French government said last month it would no longer pursue an immediate ban on EU imports of the corn.

  • Remember back in the early 80's when people got scared of Saccharin the artificial sugar additive of diet soda (among other things)? The ENTIRE food processing industry had to change the way they created their products because Saccharin was thought to give cancer to lab rats who were force fed soda in some Canadian lab study. Then about a year after every product being sold was forced to change, it was revealed that in order for human beings to consume as much Saccharin as the rats were given, a human would have to drink about 5000 cans of soda... a day!

    The moral of this story is that ANYTHING that is consumed too excess is probably going to be bad for you. All I know is that Pepsi never tasted the same after the change. Sad.

  • Amazing how easy it is to fool people. MON is the same company that created Agent Orange and Dioxin. Also Aspertame which was rejected by the FDA 13 times b4 Rumsfeld rammed it thru with decisions entirely political and in no way scientific. All your gains in MonSATAN are temporal and ill gotten. Your children will inherit a scorched earth and you will be judged harshly for the pittance of blood money for which you are selling your soul. May the spirits of all the suicided cotton farmers in India haunt your dreams.

  • Thanks. I think that's the wackiest post I've seen on SA, and that's saying something.

  • After reading that post, I guess I'll go slit my wrists since the future is so damn bleak, why should I have any remaining hope?

    Oh yeah... Long Monsanto!!!

  • The world is increasingly about money now. It costs MON a lot to get its way in the States and the world at large. But in the end, it gets its way. I have been fighting it for years, as well as MSG and Aspartame and other toxic substances. Now I purchase MON stocks on dips and relax. They now are paying me to oppose them. Much better this way. The pittance I give them does not help them at all, methinks. And yes, Rumsfeld has to be considered a murderer.
