Certainly varieties of genetically modified maize developed by Monsanto can harm the liver and kidneys of human beings, this was stated by the renowned Greenpeace which works towards the welfare of the earth planet. The company was well aware about it but it tried to hide the facts in its own publication. In order to bring out the truth, Greenpeace fought a court case in order to get hold of the data and got it analyzed by a team of experts to bring out the truth. The GM maize in question is MON863 which has received an authorization for markets in Australia, Canada, Japan, Mexico, China and U.S but now the situation looks a lot dreary. Independent studies found out that this GM maize exhibited toxicity in liver and kidney and was certainly harmful. It seems that Monsanto would have a tough time trying to defend itself on the issue of this variety of maize.
