ExclusiveDo Claims About GMOs Hold Up to Reality?How Do GMO Crops Rate Across 3 Key Measures?｜Vital Signs

The “science” tells us GMO crops have higher yield, nutrition, and herbicide resistance than organic. Nowadays, you could be eating GMO food without even knowing it. For example, GMO forms of vegetable oil, potato chips, and soybeans often go by undetected. But are they dangerous to our health?

Some studies have tested the effects of GMOs on animals. Just how applicable is this research to humans, though?

GMOs, or genetically modified organisms, are touted as being environmentally friendly and a potential solution to the world’s food production shortages. But how do GMOs really measure up across the domains of production, nutrition, and herbicide resistance?

Genetic modification is by no means a modern phenomenon. Farmers have been cross-breeding for millennia. However, GMOs are unimaginably deepening the extent to which genes can be manipulated, and with those exciting possibilities come very serious ethical, environmental, and health concerns.
