Do GMOs cause cancer?

It is not conclusively known if GMOs do or do not cause cancer.To this date, February 8, 2014, there is no known evidence that GMOs cause cancer. There is some anecdotal evidence that eating GMOs may cause other health issues, such as allergies and problems to the digestive tract.


Do the Consumer Protection Laws protect consumers from being forced to accept GMOs?

No, they do not. There are no laws that protect consumers if they do not want to eat GMOs. The consumers' only choice if they wish to avoid eating GMOs is to stop eating lots of foods that may contain GMOs.


Do scientists know the long lasting effects of GMOs?

No one knows the long lasting effects of GMOs, though some say people have been eating them since 1996 and that is evidence that there are no long lasting negative effects of GMOs. Since long term studies on rats that showed serious effects of GMO consumption have been discredited, and GMO foods are not labeled, it is hard to determine what the long lasting effects of GMOs are. There is evidence, though it is not accepted as valid by some, that people who are put on a non GMO diet have improved health.


Is the Non-GMO Project good?

Yes, the Non-GMO Project is good, but it is a bit misleading. Though they test each product before the product is listed as non-GMO, many people may not realize that foods do not have to be totally free of GMOs to be listed. The foods may contain a certain amount of GMOs, which means that any product on the list may not be totally free of GMOs.


Are there health concerns to people with the use of GMOs true or false?

There are definitely concerns; how valid these concerns are is a matter of some debate.
