Are they safe to eat?

The American Academy of Environmental Medicine doesn’t think so.

According to the findings of the AAEM, several studies on animals indicate serious health risks associated with GM food, including infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, faulty insulin regulation, and changes in major organs and the gastrointestinal system. The AAEM asked physicians to advise patients to avoid GM foods.

Scientists from the U. S. Food and Drug Administration have repeatedly warned that GM foods can trigger unpredictable, hard-to-detect side effects, including allergies, toxins, new diseases, and nutritional problems.
