GMO Seralini Ten things you need to know about the Séralini study - GMO Seralini

GMO Seralini Ten things you need to know about the Séralini study - GMO Seralini

1. Most criticisms of Séralini’s study wrongly assume it was a badly designed cancer study. It wasn’t. It was a chronic toxicity study – and a well-designed and well-conducted one.

2. Séralini’s study is the only long-term study on the commercialized GM maize NK603 and the pesticide (Roundup) it is designed to be grown with. http://gmoseralini.org/faq-items/why-is-the-study-important/

3. Séralini used the same strain of rat (Sprague-Dawley, SD) that Monsanto used in its 90-day studies on GM foods and its long-term studies on glyphosate, the chemical ingredient of Roundup, conducted for regulatory approval.  http://gmoseralini.org/criticism-seralini-used-a-type-of-rat-naturally-prone-to-tumours/

4. The SD rat is about as prone to tumours as humans are. As with humans, the SD rat’s tendency to cancer increases with age. http://gmoseralini.org/criticism-seralini-used-a-type-of-rat-naturally-prone-to-tumours/
