A leaked study examining genetically-modified corn reveals that the lab-made alternative to organic crops contains a startling level of toxic chemicals. 一项被泄漏出来的检测转基因玉米的研究揭示，实验室造出的有机玉米替代品中的有毒化学物质含量惊人。 ? An anti-GMO website has posted the results of an education-based consulting companys comparison of corn types, and the results reveal that genetically modified foods may be more hazardous than once thought. ? The study, the 2012 Corn Comparison Report by Profit Pro, was published recently on the website for Moms Across America March to Label GMOs, a group that says they wish to raise awareness and support Moms with solutions to eat GMO Free as we demand GMO labeling locally and nationally simultaneously. They are plotting nationwide protests scheduled for later this year. ? The report, writes the websites Zen Honeycutt, was provided by a representative for De Dell Seed Company, an Ontario-based farm thats touted as being Canadian only non-GMO corn seed company. ? The claims that There is no difference between GMO corn and NON Gmo corn are false, says Honeycutt, who adds she was floored after reading the study.? ? According to the analysis, GMO corn tested by Profit Pro contains a number of elements absent from traditional corn, including chlorides, formaldehyde and glyphosate. While those elements dont appear naturally in corn, they were present in GMO samples to the tune of 60 ppm, 200pm and 13 ppm, respectively. ? Honecutt says that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (FDA) mandates that the level of glyphosate in American drinking water not exceed 0.7 ppm and adds that organ damage in some animals has been linked to?glyphosate（草甘膦）?exposure exceeding 0.1 ppm. ? Glyphosate is a strong organic?phosphate chelator（磷酸酯）?that immobilizes positively charged minerals such as manganese, cobalt, iron, zinc [and] copper, Dr. Don Huber attested during a separate GMO study recently released, adding that those elements are essential for normal physiological fun
