People should avoid eating GMO foods for many reasons, including:

  • No long term human studies were done before GMO foods were released to consumers.
  • Questionable regulation by the United States FDA, USDA, and EPA.
  • Anecdotal evidence that GMO foods are harmful to human health.
  • Though GMO crops were supposed to lessen chemical pesticides used on GMO crops, there are actually more herbicides being used on crops engineered to resist the herbicide Round-up. Now, more crops are being engineered to resist other, more toxic chemical herbicides.
  • The bT varieties of GMO crops are designed to produce a substance that kills targeted insects when the plant is eaten, but that substance could be killing non-targeted insects and having ill effects on human health when people eat the crops.
  • Long term studies on rats resulted in negative effects on their health, though each study that was done (and they were done by respected, independent scientists) was questioned by other scientists and government officials.
