After more than 20 years of monitoring by countries and researchers around the world, many of the suspicions surrounding the effects of GMOs on organ health, our offspring, and our DNA have been addressed and tested (Figure 1). In the data discussed above, alongside many more studies not mentioned here, GMOs have been found to exhibit no toxicity, in one generation or across many. Though each new product will require careful analysis and assessment of safety, it appears that GMOs as a class are no more likely to be harmful than traditionally bred and grown food sources.

Thank you, Dr. Ohn, for the additional information.

In my opinion, the scientist who came up with the idea and succeeded

should be awarded Nobel Prize for possibly solving the food shortage in a significant manner.

We all love to eat salmon, and now hopefully its price will come down soon.
