Abstract:

Numerous studies conducted over the past three decades have supported the safety of food derived from GM crops.
Consumers have been eating food containing GM ingredients since 1996 with no evidence of harm demonstrated so far.
The World Health Organization (WHO), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), American Medical Association (AMA), European Food Safety Association, and a broad range of other scien-tists agree that GM foods currently on the market are as safe as the non-GM foods
