Believing that there's health risks from consuming the current approved GMO foods is as foolish as doubting climate change.
As we get more creative with our genetic modifications it's posible to stumble across a change that results in a product with potential health risks although the dietary experts even can't seem to agree decade to decade on the foods we've always consumed and their risks so.....
There is one direct health risk and that is pesticide use, GMOs in crops are most often designed to resist pesticides and result in more widespread reliance on them but this isn't really a surprise or a direct result of the gene modifications. Personally I'd be far more concerned about all the preservatives and chemicals in the magority of foods on the shelf at the supermarket.
The big risks involved with GMO's are increased weed or pest resistance to the curent herbicides and over reliance on those chemicals that results in a race to develop new GMOs resistant to new chemicals. Which becomes harder since the diversity in varieties of virtually all plants we eat has been reduced by ~90% in the last hundred years. Over reliance on a handful of varieties is dangerous.
i rarely eat junk food, mostly cook stuff from scratch with ingredients that i consider healthy and eat primarily salads. in my diet i avoid chemicals, preservatives, coloring, GMOs etc. not to mention that there r not that many products with GMO ingredients in them in EU to begin with.
of course there r plenty of other unhealthy foods around that dont have GMOs in them but that doesnt mean GMOs r entirely healthy. I found GMO grapes in the supermarket a few months ago and bought to try them out, they were so unnaturally sweet and the general taste was very weird, i didnt like it so i dont buy them anymore... simple as... just like any other food.
dont make a big deal out of this, if u want to eat GMO foods, go ahead and as i said earlier i dont know enough about GMOs to argue in the subject, if u r looking for a discussion...

sees prove, still believes in Corporate science - how is that not the definition of deluded, you should probably look that word up.
i dont just see "proof" i educated u with an article u would have never found on ur own, searching in youtube for ur next ground braking scientific discovery
what i "prooved" to u is that the information is out there and u can do w/e u want to exploit that technology if u find it useful.
u dont believe GMO foods exist then? what exactly is ur point? poor guy...
gravity is corporate science i guess THEY EARN BILLIONS FROM THAT LIE!!!
them physicists be pimpin 24/7 with all dat cashmoney!
who is the delusional guy here again?
