The group who did the testing have refused to pass on their full testing results unless anyone who reads it signs a Non-Disclosure Agreement. And worst of all the rats being used are known to develop the same Tumors naturally. World wide they are never used in any scientific test for this exact reason. Run this test again with a normal test pool, with both the process and results open to everyone and using the standard testing procedures and I'd take it seriously.

Some include that this rate line has a tendencey to develop tumors anyway, no adequate control, and poor use of statistics. Moreover the rats in the study were being fed Roundup pesticide in adition to the GM maize.

Eating genetically modified corn (GM corn) and consuming trace levels of Monsanto’s Roundup chemical fertilizer caused rats to develop horrifying tumors, widespread organ damage, and premature death.

New studies by french scientists reveal large tumors have developed on rats that have been fed on GM corn.

They've been bred this way for generations by cancer researchers. Even pet rats these days have this genetic makeup. So forgive me for doubting this particular study.
