I started my blog on if GMO's should be banned in the United States? I have come to the conclusion that It should be banned. Throughout my research on GMO's I have found more negative information than positive. It is still confusing as to why scientists disagree, but the evidence that I have found proving that it is harmful not only for humans but bees, animals, are environment is overwhelming. I still don't have answers as to why the FDA allowed GMO's to be passed without human studies done so I assume it has to do with political reasons and gain of profit.

When I was reading this I had to reread it several times how can they say that? numerous studies have shown that they are not safe and that they do cause harm such as the study done on rats in my previous post the rats developed tumors from GM foods or how about the The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) who said GM foods pose a serious health risk and calling for a moratorium on GM foods. Citing several animal studies, the AAEM concludes there is more than a casual association between GM foods and adverse health effects and that GM foods pose a serious health risk in the areas of to...
