Is genetically modified food bad?
We really don’t know, only short-term testing has been conducted (often by the company developing the product itself). These are new products on the market and they may be fine-or they may be health hazards. If you choose to stay away from genetically modified food, the only sure way now is to buy organic produce and study labels carefully-chances are items that are derived from corn (such as corn syrup or corn starch) and are found in many items are from genetically modified plants. At this time, approximately 60% of corn crops are genetically modified. If you wish to avoid them, support the farmers who chose not to plant them-buy organic and if you can, buy local and support your community!
