First off I must say that there is nothing natural or healthy about a strain of corn that is resistant to caustic herbicides like Round-Up. I think we can all agree that we learned in science class that plants absorb chemicals, minerals, and nutrients from the earth. This is what makes them grow and in turn, makes them nutritious for us to eat. So, basic knowledge would tell us a plant that grown in this condition has absorbed these toxins and now we are going to serve it for dinner. How bad is this for the human body? Well the lab rats that Monsanto tested this on have come down with permeant liver and kidney damage after only 90 days of consuming this corn in their diet. Let us not forget the wonderful corn plant also gets turned into corn syrup which is found in everything from juice and soda to canned fruits and veggies. Corn is the great American filler to so many of our processed foods. Even our pets will be affected as most dog and cat food has a base of corn products. The only good news I can give you is, if you are using biofuel your car it's kidneys and liver are still safe.
