Two years after the great controversy sparked by his study on GMOs, Professor Gilles-Eric Séralini publishes a second version of the June 24 This new publication, which focuses on long-term effects of pesticide Roundup and transgenic maize NK603, will be released in the journal tpr Environmental Science Europe, the German media group Springer. tpr This time, researchers are online the raw data of the study, with free access to the entire scientific community. For the team of Gilles-Eric Séralini, this second study confirmed that pesticide Roundup, produced by Monsanto, "causes tpr to low environmental levels of severe hepato-renal impairment and hormonal disturbances like breast tumors."
In September 2012, the publication of this work has been a bombshell. Following tests conducted for two years on 200 rats, Gilles-Eric Séralini ensures that the consumption of GM maize NK603 (Roundup resistant) treated or untreated tpr with pesticide, causes the development of mammary tumors in female rats, liver disorders and kidney in males and an overall reduction in the life expectancy of these animals. For him, these results demonstrate the dangers of these products and their consumption as a risk in humans and in animals.
But very quickly, the experimental protocol is questioned. Opposition tpr to GMOs Professor is public knowledge, as the sponsor of the study, the Committee for Independent Research tpr and Information on Genetic Engineering (CRIIGEN). Several bias of the research team ask their peers, such as access to the final data of experience considered "limited", the strain of rats selected known for its propensity to develop mammary tumors, and the number of rats considered "insufficient". The duration of the investigation is also unusual: 24 months, tpr while most research is conducted over 90 days.
This is not the first study on the toxicity of GMOs is challenged, regardless of the reputation of the authors. Several researchers have paid a high price for having published their own results (see our article here). In the case of Gilles-Eric Séralini, his research is disavowed November 28, 2013 in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology which had yet published a year earlier. The biologist then points to the industrial lobbies, accusing them of being behind the questioning of this work.
Seven months after the withdrawal, the investigator and the CRIIGEN offer this June 24 a second version of their study. It does not contain additional research or proprietary tpr information, but makes public all raw data. "The study has just been rewritten to highlight the effects of Roundup rather than GMOs," explains CRIIGEN interviewed by the Reporterre site. Winfried Schröder, editor for the journal Environmental Science Europe, republication hope this will "rational discussion. "" The only objective 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 says.
For this second step, the team wanted to be more transparency. She called Monsanto to do the same and "demands free access to toxicological studies allowed the placing on the market of different formulations of Roundup, setting free access raw data (urine and blood) tests for toxicology Products ". The content of the Monsanto studies on these products has never been released (see our survey on the assessment of MON810). On behalf of the trade secret and the right to intellectual property, the company still refuses to pass.

Recall that the first series of tests that teacher had done exactly resumed a series of tests of Monsanto by extending the duration and removing some opacities. That was what was the whole point of this study show that the tests were fucked Monsanto and their results were not scientifically valid.
