A long-term feeding study commissioned by the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety, managed by the Austrian Federal :Ministry of Health, Family and Youth, and carried out by Veterinary University Vienna, confirms GM corn seriously affects reproductive health in mice.

Non-GMO advocates, who have warned about this infertility link along with other health risks, now seek an immediate ban of all GM foods and GM crops to protect the health of humankind and the fertility of women around the world.

Feeding mice with genetically modified corn developed by the US-based Monsanto Corporation led to lower fertility and body weight, according to the study,

compared to mice fed with non GM corn, and which reproduced more efficiently.

The corn is genetically modified with genes that produce a pesticidal toxin, as well as genes that allow it to survive applications of Monsanto's herbicide Roundup. Mr. Jeffery M. Smith, the Executive Director of the Institute for Responsible Technology says, "GM foods are likely responsible for several negative health trends in the US. The government must impose an immediate ban on these dangerous crops".
