Suspicious of claims that genetically modified (GMO) corn is safe? You 
might be onto something. A leaked study from an advocacy group claims 
lab-made corn contains high levels of toxic materials like glyphosate, 
which go well beyond safety limits established by the Environmental 
Protection Agency for things like drinking water. "Glyphosate draws out 
the vital nutrients of living things and GMO corn is covered with it," 
said Zen Honeycutt, from the anti-GMO group Moms Against America to 
Label GMOs. The report comes on the heels of an agriculture 
appropriations bill that was recently signed into law and included a 
controversial provision nicknamed the Monsanto Protection Act, providing
 GMO-producing companies broad legal protection against future lawsuits.
