Um, you DO know this study was thoroughly discredited last year don't you?
On October 19, 2012, six French national academies of science issued a joint statement - "an extremely rare event in French science"[47] - condemning the study and the journal that published it.[48] "In withering terms, it dismissed the study as 'a scientific non-event'"[47]
The European Federation of Biotechnology, which counts Monsanto and other GM firms among its members,[49] called for the paper to be retracted, calling its publication a "dangerous failure of the peer-review system."[50]

I did not know that. Good catch.
That's the great thing about science. If someone comes up with results that cannot be replicated, those results are rejected.
From the Forbe's article,
the investigators used a strain of rats that were bred to develop tumors as they aged (a detail they failed to disclose)
That's a pretty big mistake!
I was skeptical of the health hysteria surrounding GMOs, but one must either refute or accept a scientific, peer-review study regardless of whether or not its conclusions are what you believed true.
Refuted. I'm going back to being skeptical of the health hysteria.
I also posted a comment on the OP's website stating that the study was discredited. They should really remove it from their website.

Evidently, this is what GMO corn does to you...
I was skeptical of the health hysteria surrounding GMOs, but one must either refute or accept a scientific, peer-review study regardless of whether or not its conclusions are what you believed true. This is the first, solid scientific evidence that at least some GMOs are really bad to eat.
Addendum: This study has been discredited. (See initial replies to this thread for details.) This thread now welcomes evidence for and against the hypothesis that GMO foods cause health problems.
