Genetically modified corn causes infertility


New research by the Austrian government confirms that a Monsanto-patented genetically modified maize causes infertility in mice (and probably in humans too). The variety, known as NK 603 x MON 810, is by the moment forbidden in the European Union but it is being grown experimentally in 30 municipalities of Spain.

Research paper should be found here (in German) but at the moment the PDF link is broken, giving a "500 Internal Server Error" page.
