Can Genetically Engineered Foods Destroy Your Kidneys?

.According to a new study published in the Journal of Applied Toxicology, low doses of the herbicide Roundup, kill human kidney cells. The Bt biopesticide, which confers insect resistance, and the glyphosate tolerance trait tied to the use of glyphosate herbicides, can be found in nearly all genetically engineered crops grown worldwide.Knowing this don't you believe all GMO produce and food products should be labeled to protect our kidneys and those of our loved ones

Update:

Roundup is sprayed directly on GMO crops and if you eat the the crop you also ingest the herbicide.

    roundup isn't used as a herbicide on any crops because it kills EVERYTHING that grows. It is used more for weed irradication BEFORE planting and becomes benign after a certain length of time or the new plantings wouldn't grow either.

    Different herbicides are used with crops.

    Also herbicides and GM foods are 2 different things.

    And online petitions are rarely taken seriously because they can be duplicated and embellished to be much larger than they actually are.

    EDIT:this link is an anti roundup site that also says it is non selective and kills everything it is sprayed on.

    So then how could it be used on GMO crops as the plants would ALL die and there would be nothing to harvest...

    Please check your facts.

    IF you have any links stating otherwise, please offer them. I have used roundup on weeds and believe me, anything you want to live better not be in the sprays way...

    You just wanted to get info out not ask a question. Look everyone has freedom to eat whatever you want. There are still plenty of natural foods untouched by man. So quit acting like your being forced fed GMO.
