    Pocahontas, IA | I asked where their research was on glyphosate residue in the grain, where their research was on formaldehyde in the grain and where is their research on residual glyphosate in the soil?.  The feeding study you have linked doesn't give actual data that I saw, how long where they fed, etc. etc :   Glyphosate-tolerant (Roundup Ready) corn line GA21 has been developed by  genetic modification to tolerate glyphosate, the active ingredient in  Roundup herbicide. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the  compositional and nutritional safety of corn line GA21 compared to that  of conventional corn. Compositional analyses were conducted to measure  proximate, fiber, amino acid, fatty acid, and mineral contents of grain  and proximate, fiber, and mineral contents of forage collected from 16  field sites over two growing seasons. The nutritional safety of corn  line GA21 was evaluated in a poultry feeding study conducted with 2-day  old, rapidly growing broiler chickens, at a dietary concentration of  50-60% w/w. Compositional analysis results showed that, except for a few  minor differences that are unlikely to be of biological significance,  the grain and forage of GA21 corn were comparable in their composition  to that of the control corn line and to conventional corn. Results from  the poultry feeding study showed that there were no differences in  growth, feed efficiency, adjusted feed efficiency, and fat pad weights  between chickens fed with GA21 grain or with parental control grain.  These data taken together demonstrate that Roundup Ready corn is as safe  and nutritious as conventional corn for food and feed use.  |
