In 2011, a quiet paper out of Québec, Canada, should have changed the global conversation about genetically modified foods forever.

It didn’t. It was buried.

The study, from researchers at the Université de Sherbrooke Hospital in Montréal, measured traces of industrial agrichemicals in the blood of pregnant women and their unborn babies.

It was titled “Maternal and fetal exposure to pesticides associated with genetically modified foods in Eastern Townships of Québec, Canada” and published in Reproductive Toxicology.

What they found was both simple and earth-shattering:

• 93% of pregnant women’s blood contained Cry1Ab, the insecticidal protein produced inside GMO corn.
• 80% of fetal cord blood contained it too.
