PETER KOENIG: GMOs are based on two strands; one involves insect
resistance, the other is herbicide resistant and more dangerous, because
it is glyphosate-tolerant. Glyphosate, known under its trade name
‘Roundup’, is however absorbed in the food fibers and has devastating
health effects. The herbicide is an endocrine-disruptor, a chemical that
at certain doses can interfere with the hormone system of mammals.
These disruptions may cause cancer, infertility, miscarriage, birth
defects and full sterility by the third generation, as the Russian study
clearly demonstrated.
