[escepticos] Franceses - Maiz modificado : tóxico en mamíferos. Nuevo artículo.

[Egeg Egeg]

En el anterior experimento se contraatacó por parte de los pro-OGM´s con que -atención, que google está para usarlo- LAS RATAS ESTABAN ENFERMAS ANTES DE INICIAR EL EXPERIMENTO... Ahora vuelven a decir lo mismo: los ogm y sus pesticidas asociados son tóxicos (riñon e hígado) al ser consumidos por mamíferos.

Abstract

We present for the first time a comparative analysis of blood and organ
system data from trials with rats fed three main commercialized
genetically modified (GM) maize (NK 603, MON 810, MON 863), which are
present in food and feed in the world. NK 603 has been modified to be
tolerant to the broad spectrum herbicide Roundup and thus contains
residues of this formulation. MON 810 and MON 863 are engineered to
synthesize two different Bt toxins used as insecticides. Approximately
60 different biochemical parameters were classified per organ and
measured in serum and urine after 5 and 14 weeks of feeding. GM
maize-fed rats were compared first to their respective isogenic or
parental non-GM equivalent control groups. This was followed by
comparison to six reference groups, which had consumed various other
non-GM maize varieties. We applied nonparametric methods, including
multiple pairwise comparisons with a False Discovery Rate approach.
Principal Component Analysis allowed the investigation of scattering of
different factors (sex, weeks of feeding, diet, dose and group). Our
analysis clearly reveals for the 3 GMOs new side effects linked with GM
maize consumption, which were sex- and often dose-dependent. Effects
were mostly associated with the kidney and liver, the dietary
detoxifying organs, although different between the 3 GMOs. Other
effects were also noticed in the heart, adrenal glands, spleen and
haematopoietic system. We conclude that
these data highlight signs of hepatorenal toxicity, possibly due to the
new pesticides specific to each GM corn. In addition, unintended direct
or indirect metabolic consequences of the genetic modification cannot
be excluded.
