Genetically Modified Corn and Health Problems

Rats fed on genetically modified corn created by Monsanto Corporation developed serious abnormalities, with kidney malformations and changes to blood indicating damage to the immune system, an internal scientific report at the US-based company found, according to Sunday's edition of English newspaper The Independent.

Monsanto is being accused of knowing about these health problems and not disclosing their research. These accusations are discussed in this article in the South African Newspaper, the Cape Times.
