Database of GMO Evidence gives worldwide picture of harm
GMWatch comment, 7 June 2013

GMO Evidence (http://gmoevidence.com) has released a new resource showing the harm that GMOs and Roundup herbicide have caused in countries worldwide. Most GMOs are engineered to tolerate Roundup herbicide.

Evidence of the harm caused by GMOs and Roundup has until now been hidden deep in thousands of pages of information. The owners of the new GMO Evidence site have ploughed through them to create an easy-to-use database that was set up by the owners of Sustainable Pulse (http://sustainablepulse.com/).

GMO Evidence has located lab-based scientific research papers and "field" cases, all from published sources, to create a library that puts all the facts regarding the harm caused by GMOs and Roundup in one place.

GMO Evidence includes the work of respected scientists like Prof Gilles-Eric Seralini and his colleagues from CRIIGEN and the University of Caen, including their latest landmark research papers on GMOs and Roundup. Other scientists whose work is featured include authors Arpad Pusztai, Jack Heinemann, and Andres Carrasco.

Field cases of special interest include the birth defects in piglets fed on GM soy recently publicized in Denmark, illness allegedly from GM pollen in the Philippines, alleged infertility in pigs in Iowa, and human birth defects that have been associated with the spraying of herbicides on GM soy in Argentina.
