The safety of GMOs is as big a scientific consensus as there is in the field of health. There are more people who dispute the dangers of high cholesterol than GMO safety.


That's not true at all, but so it goes.

Without linking the thousands of studies and numerous endeavors by health departments across the globe revealing the same findings over the years, I'll post this nice summary. Much of the info is linked in the article.

Every major international science body in the world has reviewed multiple independent studies—in some cases numbering in the hundreds—in coming to the consensus conclusion that GMO crops are as safe or safer than conventional or organic foods. But until now, the magnitude of the research on crop biotechnology has never been cataloged. In response to what they believed was an information gap, a team of Italian scientists summarized 1783 studies about the safety and environmental impacts of GMO foods—a staggering number.

The researchers couldn’t find a single credible example demonstrating that GM foods pose any harm to humans or animals. “The scientific research conducted so far has not detected any significant hazards directly connected with the use of genetically engineered crops,” the scientists concluded.

The very first research study linked by the "global research" link you posted says specifically in the 1 paragraph abstract that the levels of toxins being studied in the women were from herbicides, added chemical herbicides, not related to GMO's in any way other than GMO's can be sprayed with them. The study also concludes there is no evidence of a health risk, despite the presence of these compounds in the blood stream. The study itself says, in the abstract, it is the first study of any kind to even try to measure glphyosate in women's blood streams.

How you take that to mean "GMO's Are Killing People!" is ridiculous.
