Could we please add (2012) to the title ?

To get more background on this "research", you can read the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A9ralini_affair

Done. It should be also noted that this study was retracted shortly after, but under dubious conditions (see https://www.rt.com/op-edge/monsanto-gmo-studies-reports-588/).

The right has its climate "skeptics" and the left has its anti GMO people. Both are anti- science as they both ignore the overwhelming scientific literature and cherry-pick datapoints that support their point of view.

The notion that one side is more ignorant or anti-science than the other needs to be put to rest. Both sides have preconceived notions and are anti or pro science depending on if the science fits their preconceived agenda.

Fine. Then lets have Monsanto GMO crops spayed with Roundup undergo exhausting scientific studies that last longer than 90 days, I bet if they agreed to that a lot of people would be more assured of GMO safety.

This 'study' is from 2012 and has been widely debunked and retracted by the publisher.

Yeah, but I would say there is a high likelihood that money was involved in the retraction process: https://www.rt.com/op-edge/monsanto-gmo-studies-reports-588/

There is near certainty that science was not involved in the creation of this paper.
