What effect does eating GMO food have on our genes?
Some argue that genetically modified food has no effects on human or animal genes. They also argue that GMO foods are the same as any other foods and have no negative health effects at all. Others argue that they might cause changes to our genes, and that they do cause changes to the flora in our intestines, possible sterilization, and other health issues. The FDA has declared then to be "substantially equivalent" to non GMO foods.In reality, we just do not know what effects genetically modified food have on our health or our genes.

What is put inside gmo foods?
GMO or genetically modified organisms are made by changing genetic sequence of an organism. Usually, it means adding genes that an organism doesn't have naturally, which helps, for example, their immune system, makes them more resistant to bad conditions etc. So, I think it is ok to say that additional genes are put inside gmo food.
