“…Recently, Infascelli's group was informed that two papers from his group (Tudisco et al . and Mastellone et al ., , not assessed here) have been retracted. The articles intended to show that GM feed is detectable as GM DNA in goat kids and that these have abnormal gamma‐glutamyl transferase activity.…”

SummaryGM crops are the most studied crops in history. Approximately 5% of the safety studies on them show adverse effects that are a cause for concern and tend to be featured in media reports. Although these reports are based on just a handful of GM events, they are used to cast doubt on all GM crops. Furthermore, they tend to come from just a few laboratories and are published in less important journals. Importantly, a close examination of these reports invariably shows methodological flaws that invalidate any conclusions of adverse effects. Twenty years after commercial cultivation of GM crops began, a bona fide report of an adverse health effect due to a commercialized modification in a crop has yet to be reported.

“…A comparison between goats fed GM Roundup-Ready solvent-extracted soybean vs goats fed a conventional soy equivalent revealed that the male kids born to the goats fed the GM soy had elevated expression of GGT in both liver and kidney (P < 0.01) [153]. A study has shown that 70% of GM Roundup-ready soy samples had significant levels of glyphosate, whereas the conventional soy did not [154].…”

“…Its over-expression is associated with many diseases related to hepatobiliary and pancreatic disorders [112]- [114]. Kids born from goats fed GM RR soy had elevated liver expression of GGT [115]. GGT was found to be enhanced up to 5.4-fold in the liver in Séralini et al's long-term study of rats exposed to GMO's plus Roundup ® [43].…”

Death as a Drug Side Effect in FAERS: Is Glyphosate Contamination a Factor?

An analysis of selected datasets from the FDA's drug Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) leads us to hypothesize that glyphosate contamination in both food and drugs is a major contributor to chronic and acute kidney failure respectively. In chronic kidney failure, glyphosate-induced pancreatitis results in the release of trypsin, causing a leaky vasculature. The albumin-bound glyphosate escapes into the tissues, protecting the circulatory system and kidneys but resulting in multiple symptoms related to skin, gut, brain, bones, lungs, etc. The rare and poorly understood acute kidney failure response reported for protamine sulfate and Trasylol ® is strikingly similar to that associated with glyphosate poisoning. Both drugs are derived from biological tissues that are plausibly contaminated with glyphosate. These drugs protect from haemorrhage, which leads to retention of glyphosate in the vasculature, are followed by circulatory collapse and a high likelihood of death as an outcome. We support our argument by comparing symptom profiles of selected subsets of FAERS with those related to glyphosate poisoning, anomalous reactions to protamine sulfate, and conditions showing strong statistical time-trend correlations with glyphosate.
