GMOs are not dangerous, it’s ridiculous how people are still believing in that bullshit. If anything GMOs can be much healthier for us than regular crops, you know why? Because we can make GMOs that need waaaaaay less pesticides than regular crops, we can make GMOs that have way more vitamins and nutrients that the regular version of those plants lack (I’m still incredibly pissed that the golden rice incident happened, rice that can give thousands of malnourished people the vitamin A they needed to not go blind was destroyed because of this ridiculous and baseless fear). By making GMOs we can carefully make plants that grow faster, healthier food with less need of pesticides if needed at all, capable of surviving the harsh climates that global warming is throwing at all of our crops, with no negatives (intellectual property is an issue caused by capitalism, not inherit to only GMOs).
Yes well most of those fears were based in a distinct lack of application of the precautionary principle in the way the industry was being run and regulated, as well as misdirection when representing the methods being used. So there was no way for citizens to know whether things were safe or not, other than an appeal to authority, but driven by shareholder interests.
So I don’t blame people for worrying, though I was always more concerned about the biopiracy and other corporate shenanigans.

Nothing is really inherently wrong with GMO last I checked, has any new science come out showing there is?
Mostly just the impact of intellectual property abuse on your food sovereignty, not so much any direct effect on your biochemistry.
Ah right, there’s that. Though the question was about physical health I thought.
