Would You Eat Genetically Modified Food?

Since the first widespread commercialisation of GM produce 18 years ago there has been no evidence of ill effects linked to the consumption of any approved GM crop. ... All reliable evidence produced to date shows that currently available GM food is at least as safe to eat as non-GM food.

What happens when you eat genetically modified food?

No. Eating GM food will not affect a person's genes. Most of the food we eat contains genes, although in cooked or processed foods, most of the DNA has been destroyed or degraded and the genes are fragmented. Our digestive system breaks them down without any effect on our genetic make-up.

Would you eat genetically modified food if you understood the science behind it?
