there is a lot of controversial and contradictory studies on this subject. They are all suspect, both pro and con. There is no definitive study, at least not yet.

However, let's look at the primary company producing GMO foods - Monsanto. They are definitely evil. Their practices have shown that they will stop at nothing to make a profit.

I suspect that they would spend lots of money falsifying data and attacking other studies.

I believe that GMO foods can offer great accomplishments. However, I do not trust Monsanto.
