France orders probe after rat study links GM corn, cancer

AFP - France's government on Wednesday asked a health watchdog to carry out a probe, possibly leading to EU suspension of a genetically-modified corn, after a study in rats linked the grain to cancer.

Agriculture Minister Stephane Le Foll, Ecology Minister Delphine Batho and Health and Social Affairs Minister Marisol Touraine said they had asked the National Agency for Health Safety (ANSES) to investigate the finding.

GM food linked to cancer. Not surprised.

When God made everything he said it was good and we tampered with perfection.

I wonder about Hybrid plants. Like roses and vegetables. When you save Hybrid vegetable seeds you won't get the Hybrid but you'll get one of the parents. (Why Heirlooms are so popular - take for instance Cherokee Purple tomatoes- save the seeds and you get the same plant/fruit - over and over) Save the seeds from Grocery store tomatoes and you'll likely get a product - not like the tomato you bought- but like one of the parent plants. Aren't Hybrids also modified genetically to fight certain diseases and problems the older plants had? Many seed catalogues refer to "Improved" varieties.

Anyway- not everyone is impressed -

I thought some of the tomatos I had last year were hybreds... but I saved the seeds and all three produced the same tomatoes. (sweet 100s... some orange type of cherry tomato and yellow pear shapped tomatos)

We have mercury in our farm raised fish, arsenic in our rice, and now GMO produce that probably causes cancer. I feel so much healthier, how about you?
