"Three Approved GMO Crops Linked to Organ Damage, New Study Shows"

Key Purpose: The purpose of this article is to alert people of the recently approved GMOs for human consumption

Key Ideas:

• Monsanto has had 3 GMOs approved for public
• The only tests have been done on rats, there have been no human trials
• The three GMOs are Mon 810, Mon 863, and NK 603
• The crops have produced side effects that are able to harm the kidneys, lungs, and heart.
• Governments of the United States and other countries ignored the lack of test results and allowed the production in their countries.

Key Conclusion:

This article made me a little scared. The fact that this big of a problem from GMOs was approved without rigorous testing is frightening. For a GMO to become approved, it must be tested on at least three mammalian species, but these three were only tested on rats. Because of lack of testing, many people will now be eating GMOs that will ultimately cause problems to their vital organs. Even if Monsanto would approve the GMOs, I would think the government would investigate and make sure the proper testing has taken place, but apparently not. This is not just a problem in the U.S. Many other countries have also approved the three GMOs that will could be dangerous to humans. This could only be a start of the problems that will arise as more and more GMOs are produced. Hopefully it will not take many of these mistakes for the government to change its testing process and approval process to keep citizens safe.
