they have won two key lawsuits against those who have attempted to ruin their reputations; and a recent peer-reviewed letter even asserted that S\u00e9ralini and his team may have been right after all on their discovery showing tumors in lab rats fed GMOs.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the jury is still out on GMO safety to say the very least, just as countless independent scientists have warned, and S\u00e9ralini\u2019s study stands as yet another cause for concern with the ongoing GMO experiment. <strong>It also shows the lengths that the Biotech industry will go to in order to discredit any independent science that clashes with their own version of science.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/jbanews.com\/2016\/02\/19\/scientist-who-discovered-that-gmos-cause-tumors-wins-lawsuit\/\" >Go to Original \u2013 jbanews.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>19 Feb 2016 &#8211;
