Ate GM Soy

The Russian scientist planned a simple experiment to see if eating
genetically modified (GM) soy might influence offspring. What she got,
however, was an astounding result that may threaten a multi-billion
dollar industry.

Irina Ermakova, a leading scientist at the Institute of Higher Nervous
Activity and Neurophysiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS),
added GM soy flour (5-7 grams) to the diet of female rats. Other
females were fed non-GM soy or no soy at all. The experimental diet
began two weeks before the rats conceived and continued through
pregnancy and nursing.

Ermakova's first surprise came when her pregnant rats started giving
birth. Some pups from GM-fed mothers were quite a bit smaller. After 2
weeks, 36% of them weighed less than 20 grams compared to about 6% from
the other groups (see photo below).

But the real shock came when the rats started dying. Within three
weeks, 25 of the 45 (55.6%) rats from the GM soy group died compared to
only 3 of 33 (9%) from the non-GM soy group and 3 of 44 (6.8%) from the
non-soy controls.

*****

Combined Soy group - 28 deaths total from a population of 78 = 35.9%

Non Soy group - 3 deaths for a population of 44 = 6.8%

You cannot visually tell the difference between GM and non-GM soybeans.

I would avoid all soy, since they are not real food anyways.
