Scientist Offers $10M To Monsanto To Prove GMO Is Safe
Scientist Dr Shiva Ayyadurai has challenged Monsanto to prove him wrong on research that shows genetically modified (GM) soy to be dangerous.
He is so confident that his research is solid, he is offering to hand over $10 million if Monsanto offer any proof that GMO is safe.
Thefreethoughtproject.com reports:
“If this is what it takes to bring the truth to the American people, then I am more than willing to do it,” Ayyadurai stated in a press release.
Dr. Ayyadurai released a bombshell in July when his peer-reviewed study found that GMO soy accumulates formaldehyde, a carcinogen, and disrupts plant metabolism. Instead of engaging the MIT graduate and systems biologist, Monsanto and its propaganda arms have launched character attacks.
Ray Seidler, a former EPA senior scientist, said of the study, “Formaldehyde is a known class 1 carcinogen. Its elevated presence in soybeans caused by a common genetic engineering event is alarming and deserves immediate attention and action from the FDA and the Obama administration. Soy is widely grown and consumed in the U.S., including by infants fed baby food products, with 94% of soy grown here being genetically engineered.”
Dr. Ayyadurai’s findings are as much a challenge to the current U.S. regulatory system as they are a reminder of how GMO crops could pose a human health risk.
