The rodent feed used for control groups in laboratory studies — including studies on the safety of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and pesticides — is widely contaminated with those same GMOs and pesticides as well as toxic metals and PCBs, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Caen in France and slated to be published in the journal PLOS ONE.

The researchers analyzed 13 separate dried rodent chows produced on five continents, testing for traces of 4 heavy metals, 17 dioxins and furans, 18 PCBs, 22 GMOs and 262 pesticides. They found that every feed tested contained numerous toxins at levels high enough to cause disease by disrupting the endocrine (hormonal) and nervous systems. If consumed over the long term, all of these diets could be expected to pose a high risk to health.
