Roundup herbicide combined with GMOs, health risk?

I'm not surprised to learn this. I will pass on with research paper attachments.

A recent study in France showed that crops fed on Roundup-treated genetically modified corn (maize) caused excess cancer.

In order to confirm that the group (CRIIGEN) in question actually did such a study and that they are legit, I wrote to the researchers and received, so far, these papers.

The ultimate goal would be to alert the public so that they in turn would warn legislators of any effects that could be proven or even suggested on the basis of these studies.

Note that the most important study is not included here, but there is a literature survey showing why a more detailed study lasting much more than just the usual 90 days needed to be done.

It is my understanding that they performed such a study and the results show a high correlation between Roundup treated genetically modified corn and cancer in rats that ate the corn.

Attached are papers they kindly sent me.

A summary  of this study (also in English) is available. Search terms: criigen roundup gmo

I will try to find that but thought this would serve to show that, despite claims to the contrary, this research group seems serious and professional.
