The results are in from the first-ever peer-reviewed long-term 
health study of the most common type of genetically engineered 
corn � and they are worrying. For two years, researchers fed 
rats a diet of genetically engineered corn that is common in the 
US food supply, and found massive mammary tumors, kidney and 
liver damage, and premature death. The study was published in 
the peer-reviewed journal, Food and Chemical Toxicology.

Read the "Summary of Findings" from the researchers here.

This research adds to the growing body of peer-reviewed research 
that links genetically engineered foods to allergies, organ 
toxicity and other illnesses.

These findings underscore the importance of giving California 
families the right to know whether our food has been genetically 
engineered in a laboratory.

Proposition 37 � which would label genetically engineered foods 
in California � is the answer for everyone who wants the right 
to know what�s in their food.  And it is the best recourse 
available for those of us who do not wish to be subjects in a 
giant science experiment conducted by Monsanto and the other 
pesticide giants bankrolling the No on 37 campaign. (Recent 
contributions have topped $32 million, more than half from 
Monsanto and the big pesticide companies.)

 Join the California Right to Know campaign -- Yes on 
Proposition 37

Genetically engineered foods have not been adequately studied 
and have not been proven safe. By requiring simple labels on 
these GMO�s, Prop 37 would give Californians the ability to 
choose whether to expose our families and children to any 
potential health risks.  That�s why 50 countries around the 
world already require such labeling.

This new study is destined to raise more questions than it 
answers.  But at this point, a few things are clear.  It is 
outrageous and shocking that this is the first long-term feeding 
study, even though this genetically engineered corn has been on 
the market for nearly 20 years.

The reason we have been denied such critical information is that 
biotech companies like Monsanto have controlled and suppressed 
such research (because of patent restrictions on GMOs). As the 
editorial board at Scientific American wrote, �Scientists must 
ask corporations for permission before publishing independent 
research on genetically modified crops. That restriction must 
end.�

We need, and deserve, more independent research in this area. 
How much evidence of health risks posed by GMOs has been 
suppressed? What documents does Monsanto and the other 
agrichemical giants have in their vaults that may shed further 
light on the findings of this peer-reviewed study?

We are calling on the agrichemical industry to immediately 
release any and all internal documents linking their products to 
health problems -- especially tumors, kidney and liver damage, 
and premature death.

In the meantime, let�s demand our right to know and our right to 
decide for ourselves what we eat and feed our families. Vote yes 
on Proposition 37.
