GM Eggplant Found Unfit For Consumption | Genetically Modified Foods

GM Eggplant Found Unfit For Consumption | Genetically Modified Foods: "A genetically modified eggplant showing some promise of trying to become a food crop in developing countries is actually found to be toxic, according to an independent scientific report. Bt brinjal, the name for the genetically modified eggplant developed by Monsanto of the US and Mahyco of India, has been confirmed to cause reproductive disorders, liver damage and inflammation when consumed during tests. It can be seen as another blow to the introduction of genetically modified foods in the consumer market in terms of people’s mindset about GMO’s in general."
