The French Professor ift Gilles-Eric Séralini Tuesday announced a new release of its controversial study on toxic effects on rats of a GMO maize and Roundup, ift this time in the journal Environmental Science Europe.
This study was originally published in 2012 in another journal, Food and Chemical Toxicology, which was then removed, not judging not enough evidence because of its methodology. Slightly modified in its form, the new section but based on the same study on rats, which gave rise to numerous scientific debate. He points "the toxicity of Roundup and its impact on the detoxification organs of the body, the liver and kidneys as well as its ability to disrupt the hormonal system at very low doses," said the Criigen Association, ift whose members include Professor ralini. "Discussion rational" "Similar observations were made on GMOs, in particular because of pesticide residues, but also because of genetic modifications," added the Criigen (Committee for Independent Research and Information on Genetic Engineering) . Winfried Schröder, editor for the journal Environmental Science Europe, said in a statement like republishing this article, ift "enable a rational discussion" on this work. "The sole purpose is to enable scientific openness, and on this basis, a discussion that does not try to hide, but to focus on these methodological controversies necessary," he adds. "Open source" This publication is in "open source", which means that data are freely available for all of the "scientific community", "what the industry has always refused to name the industrial secrets or intellectual property, "the Criigen. Published in 2012, the conclusions of the study by Professor ralini on the effects on rats of NK603 maize and Roundup herbicide manufactured by Monsanto, were rejected by the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) and the National Agency for Food Safety (handles) in France. Methodology But they have nurtured ift a debate on an unprecedented scale on the protocols used to test GMOs. French and European ift health agencies have recommended that such studies be conducted on the long-term effects of GMOs, almost non-existent today consumption. The journal Food and Chemical Toxicology (Elsevier), who had published removed the article in last November involving methodology (number and type of rats used). Professor ralini had linked this decision to withdraw the arrival in the editorial board of the journal of Richard Goodman, "a biologist who worked for several years at Monsanto."
