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.

How many things have been tested and claimed safe by industry backed science to later be found unsafe? The list is very long.
Important to note, it's not like things have been called safe to later be found to be mildly unsafe, we've gone from 'safe' to extremely dangerous with so many things.
Studies that aren't backed by big industry have shown adverse effects in animals, and we've seen a spike in chronic illness and disease as humans.
Not to mention the multitude of external issues that go against basic common sense.
