Furor over rats fed GMO corn

A hot debate is occurring over a French study that showed rats fed genetically modified corn greatly increased liver and kidney failure, cancerous tumor growth, and early death compared with rats who did not eat the GMO corn.

We rarely comment on animal studies, and we will not debate the specifics of this study because both sides of the argument have valid points.

The reason we are posting about this is to shed light on the major issue: 

GMOs have not been tested in humans! 

We won't know if GMOs will create one of the largest food supply calamities in history until it is too late. If this study tells us anything, it is that GMOs need to be tested in humans in a controlled environment, and at minimum, should be labeled so consumers can make a choice.
