the key ingredient in Monsantos Roundup and the most widely used weed-killer in the world. oethis could be something quite big.
According to the research, animals fed on three strains of genetically modified maize created by the U s. biotech firm Monsanto suffered signs of organ damage after just three months.
The findings only came to light after Monsanto was forced to publish its raw data on safety tests by anti-GM campaigners.
The figures released by Monsanto were examined by French researcher Dr Gilles-Eric Seralini, from the University of Caen.
The experiments were carried out by Monsanto researchers on three strains of GM maize. Two of the varieties contained genes for the Bt protein which protects the plant against the corn borer pest,
Monsanto only released the raw data after a legal challenge from Greenpeace, the Swedish Board of Agriculture and French anti-GM campaigners.
Monsanto claimed the analysis of its data was based on faulty analytical methods and reasoning, and does not call into question the safety findings for these products.

Years ago Monsanto did research on GM wheat but the company ended its tests in 2005 without bringing the crop to market.
