“The very serious American journal Food and Chemical Toxicology is launching a real bomb on September 19,” the Nouvel Observarteur indicates today about the publication of the work of a French team on GMOs. Under the direction of Gilles-Eric Séralini, professor of molecular biology at the University of Caen, the researchers have worked since 2006 in virtual secrecy to reach frightening conclusions. “After less than a year of differentiated menus with GMO corn, confides Professor Séralini, it is a massacre among our rats, the extent of which I had not imagined”. Chain explosion of mammary tumors in females, liver and kidneys with severe abnormalities in males, GMO rats trigger twice as many tumors as non-GMO rats and they occur significantly faster. The results of this work and the story of this scientific adventure, worthy of a thriller, will be available in bookstores on September 26 (1) But already, the good sheets are published in the Nouvel Observateur on September 20 and France. 5 will devote a documentary “GMOs, towards a global alert” on October 16.
