In the over 65s, there was still an increase in stroke of about 2- to 3-fold in diabetic patients.”

Genetically Modified Soy Linked to Sterility, Infant Mortality in Hamsters

By the third generation, most GM soy-fed hamsters lost the ability to have babies. They also suffered slower growth, and a high mortality rate among the pups.
And if this isn't shocking enough, some in the third generation even had hair growing inside their mouths--a phenomenon rarely seen, but apparently more prevalent among hamsters eating GM soy.
