Well, in actuality the risks are not false, it's scientifically proven, but I don't think that will stop you from believing what you want to believe.

I think we have different definitions of scientific proof.

Most arguments I see about organic food or against vaccines or against GMOs are sciencish. "There's aspartame in Diet Coke and aspartame metabolizes into cyanide and cyanide kills you. Ergo Diet Coke kills you." I'm only partially hyperbolizing.

I haven't seen a single scientific study which demonstrates a conclusive health risk from consuming GMOs.

Is definition of scientific proof of a claim is apparently a consensus toward the exact opposite.

See, he believes what he reads on the internet.

And aspartame is now one of the most thoroughly tested substances in existence. All claims of its toxic effects or carcinogenicity in normally consumed amounts has been completely debunked. They have taken dosages equivalent to 50 cans of diet coke a day and seen no conclusive relationship.
