GM foods are more dangerous for children than adults
Pregnant mothers eating GM foods may endanger offspring
- Embryo development can be adversely affected by tiny amounts of substances in
the mother’s diet. - A pregnant mother’s diet may even alter gene expression in children and be passed
on to future generations. - GM crops may contain substances that impact normal fetal development, but have
never been adequately tested for these effects.
Rats fed GM tomatoes got bleeding stomachs, several died
- Rats were fed the GM FlavrSavr tomato for 28 days.
- Seven of 20 rats developed stomach lesions (bleeding stomachs);
another 7 of 40 died within two weeks and were replaced in the study. - The tomato was approved despite unresolved safety questions by FDA scientists.
