Genetically modified soy feed results in high mortality among lab rats
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Dr. Irina Ermakova, a scientist at the Institute of Higher Nervous Activity and Neurophysiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), oversaw a study of the impact of genetically modified soy on rat populations, and the results were that 55.6 percent of rats fed the soy died within three weeks.
A recent Russian study found that an astounding 55.6% of the offspring of female rats fed genetically engineered soy flour died within three weeks.
The female rats had received 5-7 grams of the Roundup Ready variety of soybeans, beginning two weeks before conception and continuing through nursing.
By comparison, only 9% of the offspring of rats fed non-GM soy died.
Furthermore, offspring from the GM-fed group were significantly stunted---36% weighed less than 20 grams after 2 weeks, compared to only 6.7% from the non-GM soy control group.
The study was conducted by Dr. Irina Ermakova, a leading scientist at the Institute of Higher Nervous Activity and Neurophysiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS).
It was originally presented on October 10, 2005 to the symposium on genetic modification in Russia, organized by the National Association for Genetic Security (NAGS).
