The Myths of Safe Pesticides and
GMOs
• The majority of GMO crops have been approved
without adequate feeding trials
• The most recent study led by Professor Gilles-
Eric Seralini found that both the GM maize and
Roundup acted as endocrine disrupters and
resulted in the females dying 2 -3 times more
than the control animals. (Seralini et al 2014)
• This is the only life time feeding study done on
GMOs

The Reality
The World Health Organization’s International Agency for
Research on Cancer (IARC) gave glyphosate (the active
ingredient in Roundup) the second highest classification of:
Group 2A: Probably carcinogenic to humans
Group 2A is for substances where there is sufficient evidence
of causing cancer in animals and limited studies in humans.
According to IARC, the 2A classification was because:
‘strong mechanistic evidence; for malathion and glyphosate,
the mechanistic evidence provided independent support of
the 2A classification based on evidence of carcinogenicity in
humans and experimental animals.’
