    Exactly. This is the real reason to avoid GMOs. There isn’t anything inherently dangerous about them, but just because the science is sound, that doesn’t mean GMO food is safe either.

      Is there a peer-reviewed study that showed that a gmo crop sprayed with a certain pesticide was bad?

        Is there peer reviewed research on the downsides of ingesting pesticides? Yes? It’s not that hard to find?

          OK, I get it now. :)

          From who.int –

          To protect food consumers from the adverse effects of pesticides WHO reviews evidence and develops internationally-accepted maximum residue limits.
