It's interesting that the headline, and the article, seem to focus on the fact that the crops were genetically modified, rather than that they were treated with roundup. This seems questionable; I would guess (although I'm no biologist), that the Roundup was likely very relevant (the article indicated that water with Roundup in it also caused tumors).
- raintrees 14y agoIsn't it a reference to the maize's treatment to grow with Roundup being applied? 'The researchers hypothesize that the reason why NK603 GM maize, NK603 sprayed with Roundup, and Roundup on its own, all produced very similar negative health outcomes, is that both the GM maize and the weedkiller Roundup "may cause hormonal disturbances in the same biochemical and physiological pathway."'
