British Scientist, Arpad Puzti found that rats that ate genetically modified potatoes suffered from damaged immune systems. Their white blood cells responded more sluggishly than those fed a non-GMO diet, leaving them more vulnerable to infection and disease. Compared to the rats fed a non-GMO diet, some of the GMO-fed rats had smaller, less developed brains, livers and testicles. Other rats had enlarged tissues, including the pancreas and intestines. Significant structural changes and a proliferation of cells in the stomach and intestines of the GMO-fed rats may have signaled an increased potential for cancer. Many rats developed serious health effects after only 10 days and some of these changes persisted after 110 days, a time period corresponding to about 10 years of human life.
