Where are these 6000 studies and who did them? Can't seem to find them anywhere on the net. First of all it's almost impossible to do an independent study on GMO's because Monsanto will not give you the seeds to do the study and secondly, they insist, you give them the results of the study before they allow you to publish it. The researchers at universities will not touch doing studies on Roundup because it would be devistating for their careers. Look at how they tried to do in Seralini for speaking up.

As for the universities that Folta claimed were happy to help independent researchers with GMO studies, Vlieger found just the opposite. He had approached researchers, funding in hand, at several universities asking them to carry out studies on GM crops and the glyphosate herbicide that most GM crops are engineered to tolerate. But the researchers were unwilling even to consider delving into such questions. Vlieger said,“The reaction was the same every time. They told us it would be ‘very unhealthy’ for the career of any researcher to get involved with any research that may shed negative light on a GM crop or glyphosate.”13

It is clear from these accounts that relationships between GM seed companies and universities are a restrictive rather than a liberating influence on independent research. It is unlikely that any university would risk upsetting the GM seed companies that provide it with an ongoing source of research funding by facilitating critical research on their products.
