This image from a study in a Seralini et al study in the journal, Food and Chemical Toxicology, shows female rats with mammary tumors that purportedly grew after being fed genetically modified food with and without Roundup herbicide.
Food and Chemical Toxicology (CBS News) A French study that supposedly shows that mice who ate genetically modified corn sprayed with weed killer were more likely to develop tumors, organ damage and die early is becoming a polarizing debate among researchers. The two-year study, which was published on Sept. 19 in Food and Chemical Toxicology, revealed that mice who were fed either a diet of Monsanto's genetically modified maize sprayed with Roundup - the company's brand of weed killer - or drank water with levels of Roundup similar to what is found in U.S. tap water were much more likely to die and at an earlier age, in addition to other health problems.

If you’re following the news about the French GM maize feeding trial, you’ve probably heard: (A) we need to pull GMO crops off the market immediately; or (B) that the study is flawed and is basically meaningless.
I guess I find myself leaning toward the second group on this one. Here is why I think the recent GM corn feeding trial by Saralini (Seralini et al. 2012. Proof Perfect That The Seralini Paper On GM Corn And Cancer In Rats Is Rubbish.
