What is a disadvantage of GM organisms to health?

Answer 1

Disadvantages of GM Organisms to HealthShort and long term disadvantages of GM organisms to human health are not yet known. The very nature of GM crops could be a key to the extent of disadvantages to human health that are seen in the future. One type of GM corn produces what is called BT Toxin, which is a pesticide. Since the toxin is produced by the plant itself, it is probably safe to assume that the toxin is still present when the corn is eaten, making it harmful to the health of the consumer.

In the United States, no labeling is required for foods that contain GMOs and at least one study of consumption of GMO foods by rodents resulted in organ failure and death.
