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.

Do lays potato chips contain GMOs?

Foods in the United States are not labeled for GMOs, so there is no way to know beyond any doubt whether Lays potato chips contain GMOs. The potatoes used to make the chips are probably not GMO because there are no known varieties of genetically modified potatoes being sold commercially (as of May 2014). It is; however, likely that GMO oils are used to fry the chips, since a huge percentage of corn, soybeans, and canola grown in the United States is GMO.
