When a comprehensive two-year study showed that Monsanto’s Roundup Ready corn, and even Roundup by itself, caused massive tumors, organ damage, and early death of rats, Monsanto’s minions jumped into high gear with a shoot-the-messenger, kill-the-study campaign. Now the study’s lead author, Professor Gilles-Eric Séralini, is fighting back. He’s filed a libel lawsuit against some of the “so-calledscientist” attackers. A global petition has been launched demanding that approvals of GM foods be frozen until studies proving long-term safety are conducted and verified. [**Sign the petition**](http://www.avaaz.org/en/petition/Freeze%5FGM%5Ffood%5Fapprovals%5Fnow/?ref=foodconsumer.org)and a visit this terrific new website:[**GMOseralini.org**](http://www.gmoseralini.org/?ref=foodconsumer.org) that completely shreds the biotech industry’s arguments.

**A bottom-line summary of the study’s findings is: Definitely Avoid Eating GMOs.**
