Genetically Modified Foods causing tumours in mice - is it the new genetic inserts or is it the chemical warfare happening to our crops?

Pictures of mice with great big tumors are easily found on the internet after a search for GMO foods - it really is alarming!  Could this be happening in our bodies?  What I do know is that most studies use either corn or soy.  Now corn is not easily digested for anyone; it needs to be soaked in a lye solution like the Aztecs used to do which increases its nutrient content, removes mycotoxins, and makes it better absorbed.  There is a condition called pallegra that results from subsisting mainly on corn, which causes niacin deficiency.    
With that being said, the very first study on the link below compares the damage on liver cells after eating both GMO corn and normal corn.  Both caused damage; however, the GMO corn caused significantly more.  Another question arises: is this due to the new genes themselves or the fact that more chemical spray can now be used on these plants?  Corn, soy and canola are all bred to be "roundup ready" able to withstand high doses of chemical applications; we are ultimately "candy coating"  the seeds with pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, which are later taken up into the seeds themselves.  Heavy metals have similar structures to our essential minerals (magnesium, calcium, zinc, iron, etc.) and plants cannot tell the difference.     

Next is soy, which again is a heavily sprayed crop.  Moreover, during its processing they use high heat to remove the outer shells and then soak the beans in chemical solutions, particularly hexane ( a major component in gasoline) to produce the soymeal -  a double wammy toxic mess.  

So, in my opinion err on the side of caution and buy organic or not at all.  Also, it might be a good idea to consider a heavy metal screening and a individualized detox program.
