(NaturalNews) Biotechnology giant Syngenta has officially been outed for
deliberately hiding data that proves the company's genetically-modified
(GM) Bt 176 corn is directly responsible for killing livestock. Dr. Eva
Sirinathsinghji writing for QW Magazine explains that Syngenta
is now facing criminal charges for willfully concealing the results of
an internal, company-run study on Bt 176 corn from 1996 that was
abruptly ended when four cows died after just two days of consuming the
"Frankencorn."
Gottfried Gloeckner, a German farmer from
Woelfersheim, originally filed the suit roughly a decade after dozens of
his own dairy cows died from exposure to Syngenta's Bt 176 corn.
Gloeckner first began feeding his cattle Bt 176 corn as part of their
diet back in 1997 when Syngenta gained government approval to run field
trials of the crop on Gloeckner's property. And by 2000, Bt 176 corn was
the only thing Gloeckner was feeding his cows.
As this
transition from natural feed to GM feed was taking place, however,
Gloeckner noticed that his cows were increasingly developing serious
illnesses, many of which resulted in the animals' rapid death. By 2001,
five of Gloeckner's cows had died, and another seven died by 2002, upon
which Gloeckner decided to remove all GMOs from his livestock feed. But
most of Gloeckner's remaining cows ended up suffering intestinal damage,
decreased milk production, and other ailments that resulted in their
having to be put down as well.
