A leaked study examining
genetically-modified corn reveals that the lab-made alternative to
organic crops contains a startling level of toxic chemicals.
An anti-GMO website has posted the
results of an education-based consulting company’s comparison of corn
types, and the results reveal that genetically modified foods may be
more hazardous than once thought.
The study, the 2012 Corn Comparison
Report by Profit Pro, was published recently on the website for Moms
Across America March to Label GMOs, a group that says they wish to
“raise awareness and support Moms with solutions to eat GMO Free as we
demand GMO labeling locally and nationally simultaneously.” They are
plotting nationwide protests scheduled for later this year.
The report, writes the website’s Zen
Honeycutt, was provided by a representative for De Dell Seed Company, an
Ontario-based farm that’s touted as being Canadian only non-GMO corn
seed company.

“The claims that ‘There is no difference
between GMO corn and NON Gmo corn’ are false,” says Honeycutt, who adds
she was “floored” after reading the study.
According to the analysis, GMO corn
tested by Profit Pro contains a number of elements absent from
traditional cord, including chlorides, formaldehyde and glyphosate.
While those elements don’t appear naturally in corn, they were present
in GMO samples to the tune of 60 ppm, 200pm and 13 ppm, respectively.
Honecutt says that the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (FDA) mandates that the level of
glyphosate in American drinking water not exceed 0.7 ppm and adds that
organ damage in some animals has been linked to glyphosate exposure
exceeding 0.1 ppm.
“Glyphosate is a strong organic phosphate
chelator that immobilizes positively charged minerals such as
manganese, cobalt, iron, zinc [and] copper,” Dr. Don Huber attested
during a separate GMO study recently released, adding that those
elements “are essential for normal physiological functions in soils,
plants and animals.”
“Glyphosate draws out the vital nutrients
of living things and GMO corn is covered with it,” adds Honeycutt, who
notes that the nutritional benefits rampant in natural corn are almost
entirely removed from lab-made seeds: in the samples used during the
study, non-GMO corn is alleged to have 437-times the amount of calcium
in genetically modified versions, and 56- and 7-times the level of
magnesium and manganese, respectively.
These studies come on the heels of a
recent decision on Capitol Hill to approve an annual agriculture
appropriations bill, even though a provision within the act contained a
rider that frees GMO corporations such as the multi-billion-dollar
Monsanto Company from liability. The so-called “Monsanto Protection
Act,” written by a lawmaker that has lobbied for the agra-giant, says
biotech companies won’t need federal approval to test and plant
GMO-crops, even if health risks are unknown.
“The provision would strip federal courts
of the authority to halt the sale and planting of an illegal,
potentially hazardous GE crop while the US Department of Agriculture
(USDA) assesses those potential hazards,” reads a letter to the House of
Representatives that was delivered to Congress last month with the
signatures of dozens of food businesses and retailers, as well as
interest groups and agencies representing family farmers. “Further, it
would compel USDA to allow continued planting of that same crop upon
request, even if in the course of its assessment the Department finds
that it poses previously unrecognized risks.”
