A member asked:
What are the health benefits of gmos?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None!: There are no known health benefits of GMO foods. The foods currently approved have been engineered to produce their own pesticides or withstand massive doses of the herbicide Roundup but these traits are likely to make them more toxic rather than benefit health. Golden rice, a GMO rice modified to produce beta carotene, may have benefits but is not yet approved. See http://tinyurl.com/pkh43g3
