GM maize‚ health and the Séralini affair Smelling a rat GENETICALLY modified maize causes cancer: that was the gist of a study‚ among the most controversial in recent memory‚ published in September 2012 in the journal‚ Food and Chemical Toxicology. Well‚ actually‚ it doesn’t. The journal has just retracted the article. It would be too much to say that GM foods have therefore been proven safe. But no other study has so far found significant health risks in mammals as a result of eating GM foods

Therefore‚ the co-existence between GMO farming and conventional farming or organic farming is very difficult. BBC News reported the result of a study conducted by the UK-based National Pollen Research in 1999. The result showed that airborne GM pollen can be carried hundreds of kilometers in 24 hours‚ and the pollen was found 4.5 km from a field of GM oilseed in Oxford

In particular‚ despite most of its revenues and production being derived from North America‚ depreciating yen rates pose problems for the firm indirectly through economic exposure. While GM possesses ‘passive’ hedging strategies for balance sheet and income statement exposures‚ management has not yet quantified or recognized solutions to possible losses from the indirect competitive exposure it now shared with Japanese automakers in the

In addition‚ you cited an exceedingly interesting fact‚ one I had not found during my research‚ that in almost all study cases the GM crops produced 6 to 11 percent less yields for studied soybean crops (Exposed: the great GM crops myth‚ 2008). The fact was so compelling‚ I must admit‚ I followed your referenced link and read the entire article titled “Exposed: the great GM crops myth”. Indeed‚ in my opinion

However‚ the majority of the previous studies on consumer attitudes towards food products were conducted in developed countries in Europe as well as Japan. The small number of studies conducted in developing nations obtain different results from those of the developed world. This paper considers the motivations for consumer attitudes towards GM foods in developing nations. We conclude that the generally
