Pregnant mothers eating GM foods may endanger offspring

1. Embryo development can be adversely affected by tiny amounts of substances in
   the mother’s diet.
   
   
2. A pregnant mother’s diet may even alter gene expression in children and be passed
   on to future generations.
   
   
3. GM crops may contain substances that impact normal fetal development, but have
   never been adequately tested for these effects.

Milk from rbGH treated cows may increase risk of cancer and other diseases.

1. Monsanto’s genetically engineered bovine growth hormone is injected into dairy cows in US and
   elsewhere, to increase milk production.Milk from treated cows has much higher levels of IGF-1,
   a hormone considered to be a high risk factor for breast, prostate, colon, lung and other cancers.
   The milk also has lowered nutritional value, increased antibiotics and more pus from infected udders.

GM proteins in soy, corn and papaya may be allergens

1. Tests cannot guarantee that a GM protein will not cause allergies.
   
   
2. The WHO and FAO offer criteria that help minimize the likelihood that allergenic GM
   crops are approved.
   
   
3. GM soybeans, corn, and papaya fail those criteria.
   
   
4. The GM proteins from these foods are too similar to known allergens.
   
   
5. This evidence was ignored by regulators, who approved the crops.

Rats fed GM tomatoes got bleeding stomachs, several died

1. Rats were fed the GM FlavrSavr tomato for 28 days.
   
   
2. Seven of 20 rats developed stomach lesions (bleeding stomachs);
   another 7 of 40 died within two weeks and were replaced in the study.
   
   
3. The tomato was approved despite unresolved safety questions by FDA scientists.
