This is a sincere question(I'm not being snarky): Then why are foreign countries banning GMOs? The European Union doesn't want it. The US says it is safe.
Some concerns I have of GMOs:The allergens it introduces.The changes to the nutritional value of plants, in an adverse way.
I understand the benefits. But have the benefits been weighed against the probable negative outcomes? I haven't been able to find any studies on such. Everything that I am able to find conveys that gmo foods are safe, as safe as any food can be. However, there is always that but-- but, we do not know about long term effects.
I have read studies where people feel better, and symptoms of skin disorders in particular, start clear when the person removes gmo's from their diet. I'm not so blind to think that other factors may also be involved.
All of that aside, I just want the foods labeled, and a better regulation system.
