Report: Genetically Modified Crops Pose No Health Risks
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) has discovered that, after extensive research, there is no distinct difference between food crops that are genetically modified (GM) and those that are conventionally grown. Their research also uncovered no clear difference in risks to human health or the environment between the two types of crops.
The study--Genetically Engineered Crops: Experiences and Prospects--focused mainly on corn and cotton crops since they are the ones that undergo the most GM. Based on chemical analyses of the foods themselves--and on animal feeding analysis--GM crops did not appear to pose any obvious health or environmental risks.
