Russia Bans Use and Import of Monsanto's GMO Corn Following French Study

Russia Bans Use and Import of Monsanto's GMO Corn Following Study "Following the groundbreaking French study that graphically linked the lifetime consumption of Monsanto’s GMO corn in rats to massive tumors and direct organ failure, Russia’s premiere consumers rights organization has suspended both the importation and use of Monsanto’s GMO corn within the nation’s borders."

I haven't followed much of the GMO issue. My sense is that GMO by itself isn't any different than old practices of hybridization, just with more science. Certainly specific modifications can be safe or unsafe, and I want the FDA and other government regulators to be working hard on testing the foods before labeling them safe and I don't know if that's happening or not.
