 |
The Center for Food Safety is calling for a moratorium on the distribution of genetically engineered foods following an Austrian animal trial indicating that a diet f genetically engineered corn reduced the fertility of mice. In the study, mice fed with Monsanto's GE corn (NK603 x MON810, sold under the brand names YieldGard (Plus)/Roundup Ready) had fewer litters, fewer total offspring, and more females with no offspring, than mice feed the conventional corn. You can download the full report of the study here (pdf file).
