Is genetically modified food really dangerous? germans think so.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Genetically modified food has not been shown to cause problems when consumed by humans for a variety of reasons.The genome of the plant is modified using genetic engineering rather than by exposing plants to radiation to cause mutations.This might help to provide plant disease resistance and other benefits.There have been some environmental issues.
