Most of the people in the United States are eating genetically engineered food. Since no long term human studies were conducted before the GMO products were used commercially, we do not know what the effects to humans will be. There is some evidence that health is improved if people avoid eating GMO foods. One is claims from some doctors whose patients stop eating GMO foods experiencing improved health. There have also been a handful of animal studies that have shown negative health effects, though each of those studies was debunked as not valid, using poor methods, using the wrong species of animal, etc.
