In a new interview (http://gmwatch.org/index.php/news/archive/2014/15371), Prof Gilles-Eric Séralini said some GMOs are toxic in themselves as well as because of the pesticides they contain. He also vowed he will republish the GMO maize and Roundup study retracted by the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology.

The scientists' sign-on statement opposing the retraction on scientific as well as ethical grounds has gathered 177 signatures.

One scientist commented: "The suppression of scientific evidence for commercial gain should be punishable by criminal charges. The tobacco companies got away with this for nearly 30 years before the world woke up to the problem, and even then the response was insufficient. The risks posed by the epigenetic response of plant DNA to foreign genes is potentially catastrophic, and the precautionary principle should apply. Censoring science is playing with peoples lives."
