All these link seem to be showing only one view, which is against GMOs. Most only express concern about POTENTIAL risks, without anything based on observed problems. A general reader may be more interested in the questions and answers at the World Health Organisation site: http://www.who.int/foodsafety/publications/biotech/20questions/en/ Let me quote a line from there "GM foods currently available on the international market have passed risk assessments and are not likely to present risks for human health. In addition, no effects on human health have been shown as a result of the consumption of such foods by the general population in the countries where they have been approved." - Tabish
