There are many reports that they are problematic. For example childs in the US eating maze often have to fight with several diseases.
Then the cases giving gmo to cows as food. Their udders became infected and bloody and whole cowsheds died. And thinking about it. They ate plants that were immune against some viruses or so. They killed the viruses by destroying theirs cells from the inside. Now think about why the same should not happen with other cells, for example in the udders of cows.
I surely would not take them if i can avoid it.
The smart thing in the US is, these companies are mighty. They have the government and the admission boards in the pocket because they have their man sit in both. The result is that in parts of the US it is even forbidden to mark your gmo free food as gmo-free. Because they managed to get the admission boards claim that gmo food is not different from normal food. So it is a trade barrier when someone claims his food is gmo free. Not allowed.
I will never live in the US...
Topic: Are GMO Foods Safe? What Are The Pros and Cons? (Read 2729 times)
While an epidemic of inflamed assholes is a definite downside one of the pros of GMOs is that they're considerably safer for pregnant women than thalidomide.
Just because Ricin is less poisonous when compared to botulinum,I don't think that you can add Ricin to your diet. Or let me take another example. Syphilis is less deadly when compared to HIV. That shouldn't mean that you should get yourself infected with Syphilis.
GMO might be less toxic when compared to Thalidomide. But that doesn't mean that it is safe for everyone.
My issue with most discussions about GMO is that people tend to treat all GMOs as if they are identical. Genetic modification is a technique. If you put in a gene with a harmful effect, you will get something harmful. If you put in a gene with a beneficial effect, you will get something beneficial.
There are a few "techniques" such as using viruses to infect cells with foreign genes. During infection portions of the viruses genes also gets transferred causing unwanted harmful effects like tumors.
This is just one example of many, you can read up on the details here: http://www.independentsciencenews.org/health/regulators-discover-a-hidden-viral-gene-in-commercial-gmo-crops/
You make it sound simple and it's not.

I am 'cautious' about GMOs and think that their use should be restricted unless there is a clear need.
GMOs are typically used to grow things outside of their normal growing season, and to yield more, or was I misinformed?
The argument here is whether they're safe or not. A typical propaganda tactic from GMO companies is to redirect any discussion on safety away from the issue.
But, to answer your question I believe roundup-ready GMOs are the most typical type of crops and those are about requiring farmers to purchase expensive herbicides with questionable effects on human and livestock health.

You just haven't heard of the 'side-effects' of GMO.

This explains GMOs. Watch you tin-foil hat idiots call this government... Stuff?
I mean honestly, don't spew autism if the only people who have posted studies on this have lied about their PhD and pulled their places of work from their crusty rectum.

Did you get your only information from someone who got their information from someone who told them what to think? Please get some research into the studies about how GMOs can harm people. If you can't find any that support your idea that they're all good forever and ever, then that's bad. Because there should be studies about how how GMOs can affect us longterm.....
Edit:
The video you linked to had articles...

Of course that last link is old, because as we all know, the government doesn't want us to know what's in our food and made it so they don't have to tell us, and obviously won't.

But, but, I complained about inflamed assholes and linked information from a study conducted by Dr. Judy Carman. "Dr. Carman has degrees in both epidemiology and medicine"

GMOs don't involve breeding LOL. Turing deadly nightshade into all our favorite produce via breeding is old-school illuminati.
Gee, sorry I have a simple understanding of biology.
Keep studying, you'll pick it up eventually.

Special snowflake. GMOs will help with many problems we as humans have created. I think they are overall a good idea and the will do more help than harm
I'm sort-of surprised you're basically the only person itt who is pro gmo.
I'm by no means a scientist, but we have been genetically modifying crops on a lesser scale for a long, long time. Just look at Gregor Mendel and his punnett squares.
He was able to accurately predict the likelihood of certain traits being passed down by observing several generations of plant's traits etc.
Of course, It's understandable why people are so skeptical. Monsanto is an easy target regardless of whatever the true safety is. Agent orange, Dick Cheney, Vietnam, the Beatles: all terrifying things associated with their company. It's a knee-jerk reaction by and large.
Again, I don't know the true safety of GMO foods but you'd have to be really pessimistic to not want to explore the option of multiplying our global crop yield.
GMOs are totally safe.
According to whom? A number of research studies have been conducted on this subject (many of them were published in various scientific journals as well), and a majority of them were of the opinion that GM food damages the ecology and it causes harmful after-effects on humans. Monsanto and Cargill will do anything to gain profits. Even if that means infecting millions of human beings with cancer.

GMOs are totally safe. They are essentially crops grown and bred how scientists want them to be. The same thing happens in dogs, and humans. The traits of bred male and female crops are taken aboard. Occasionally the genes of the crops are altered directly. Same thing can be done in humans, it's considered unethical as of now. You have to tie a thick book to your forehead of you are stupid enough to think the illuminati is making us sick and giving us autism.

GMO is not a solution to any of our problems. Controlling the human population is the ultimate solution. Right now, the human population stands at 7,200 million. This is projected to rise to 11,000 million in 2100 (4,000 million out of that in Africa). Having 2 billion healthy and wealthy people is much better than having 11 billion starving people.
It still irks me that Bill Gates owns shares in the Monsanto company at the same time that he's hiding his original seeds away like a squirrel. It certainly makes me think he's not eating what the rest of us are.
"Bill Gates believes the density of the population in poor areas is too big, and with his depopulation plans he can ‘solve’ that problem. Consider his huge buyout of Monsanto stock – he owns millions of shares of Monsanto and Cargill stock, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation keep scooping it up. He owns more than $23 million worth, or 500,000 Monsanto shares." (link)
"Bill Gates is spending $30 million in a remote place called Svalbard, a barren rock near the Barents Sea about 1,100 kilometers from the North Pole to build a seed bank." (link)
