Genetically Engineered Corn May Reduce Fertility
Filed in archive Food and Agriculture on November 16, 2008
The Center for Food Safety is calling for a moratorium on the distribution of genetically engineered foods following an Austrian animal trial indicating that a diet f genetically engineered corn reduced the fertility of mice. In the study, mice fed with Monsanto's GE corn (NK603 x MON810, sold under the brand names YieldGard (Plus)/Roundup Ready) had fewer litters, fewer total offspring, and more females with no offspring, than mice feed the conventional corn. You can download the full report of the study here (pdf file).

Anything that is called genetically engineered just sounds so unnatural and totally unhealthy.
