Mr Chance pointed to an independent study conducted by French researchers and scientists from the universities of Caen and Rouen, which found that rats fed on Monsanto’s MON863 genetically modified corn had significant reductions in growth and adverse effects on liver and kidney function after 90 days of consumption.
