Mice fed with GE maize were severely impaired in their fertility,

An explosive study published by the Austrian government, on Tuesday November 11, identified serious health threats of genetically engineered (GE) crops. Mice fed with GE maize were severely impaired in their fertility, and produced fewer children than mice fed with natural crops. This study shows how little we know about GM products and their long-term impacts on our health and the environment. It also shows how flawed the current EU risk assessment system is.

The European Food Safety Authority runs inadequate safety checks on GMOs and often just rubber stamps what agro-chemical industry experts say. December 4 could be the day we turn it around -- If we can convince Ministers meeting that day to vote for strict controls and a reformed EFSA.

Only 21 days left until the Environment Council vote! TAKE ACTION:
*Support the anti-GMO governments Austria, Cyprus, France, Greece, Hungary, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Poland, Slovenia
*Shift the governments in the middle Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Malta, Slovakia
*Pressure the pro-GMO governments Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Spain, United Kingdom
