Scientists created a way to genetically modify the DNA of corn by means of altering certain genes to better suit what it will eventually be used for. They have been modified to resist herbicides, altered for specific uses such as biofuel, and have become more tolerant to viruses that plague nongenetically modified plants. Scientists have even created a way to alter the taste and sweetness of corn.

How prevalent are GM product?

Because there are currently no laws in the United States requiring the labeling of GM (Genetically Modified) foods, one can assume most non-organic foods are, in fact, GM. Approximately 80% of wheat, soy, and corn grown in the United States is grown using GM seed. To avoid GM products, make sure to purchase only those items labeled as "Organic" or "Certified GMO Free" by the Non GMO Project, a third party certifier.
