GMOs aren’t increasing food allergies? 10 common misconceptions about genetic modification, debunked
GMOs aren’t increasing food allergies? 10 common misconceptions about genetic modification, debunked
Confused about GMOs? There is no question GMOs (Soy, corn, cotton, canola, sugar beets, alfalfa, papaya, squash, apples, potatoes) are front and center in many food conversations and news sources. I have put a quick list of some GMO facts that you may not know:
6) GMO’S ARE NOT CAUSING THE INCREASE IN FOOD ALLERGIES.
Also, GMO is not gluten.
7) LONG TERM STUDIES
Probably the most common statement I have seen or read is, “There are no long term studies on GMOs.” There have been studies done on animals where the results show no negative effects on animals. And then the question also becomes, what is considered long term? For the naysayers, there will be no amount of time that will satisfy them. In addition, there have never been long-term studies required on any other new seed variety or crop. GMOs are the only crops that require extensive pre-marketing scrutiny.
