'Though it barely received any media
attention at the time, a renowned British biochemist who back in 1998
exposed the shocking truth about how genetically-modified organisms
(GMOs) cause organ damage, reproductive failure, digestive dysfunction,
impaired immunity, and cancer, among many other conditions, was
immediately fired from his job, and the team of researchers who assisted
him dismissed from their post within 24 hours from the time when the
findings went public.
Arpad Pusztai, who is considered to be one of the world's most respected and well-learned biochemists, had for three years led a team of researchers from Scotland's prestigious Rowett Research Institute (RRI) in studying the health effects of a novel GM potato with built-in Bt toxin. Much to the surprise of many, the team discovered that, contrary to industry rhetoric, Bt potato was responsible for causing severe health damage in test rats, a fact that was quickly relayed to the media out of concern for public health.'
