This evidence shows that tests have been done on multiple generations of GMO eating organisms, and these tests have shown no abnormalities. Since there have been tets on multiple generations, it proves that GMOs are not too new for us to know if they are dangerous.

There were no significant differences between GMO potato and non-GMO potato diets. This suggests that there is no inheritance of toxicity, even over multiple generations (Megan L. Lorris, 2015).

After 20 years of monitoring by researchers and countries around the world, suspicions of the effects of GMOs have been researched and tested. From these studies, there has been no toxicity, in one generation and over many generations (Megan L. Lorris, 2015).

Since there has been 20 years research done on GMOs and they have been found to be not toxic, the science suggest that they are safe for consumption

Foods derived from GM crops have been consumed by hundreds of millions of people across the world for more than 15 years, with no reported ill effects (or legal cases related to human health). (Royal Society of Medicine).

Even though there is major concerns for health of people by the general public, scientists have proved and now understand that GMOs are not harmful.

There has been lots of testing on GMOs, even tests on multiple generations and none of these tests have found differences in GMO eating organisms and non-GMO eating organisms.

GM crops have been being consumed for a long time without any signs of causing ill effects despite its widespread distribution and consumption. As a result, it can be determined that GM crops are not too new for us to know if they are dangerous as we can safely assume that they are not dangerous based off of over a decade of their production.

The existence of GM crops for over a decade without any reports from the millions of people that consume them of ill effects reflects the claim that GM crops are not dangerous to consume.

"But again, there’s no evidence that animals that eat GM foods pose any health risks to us. 'To date,' says Novella, 'the reviews conclude pretty universally that there’s just no health risk"(Indre Viskontas, 2014)

The United Kingdom has one the most GMO research programs and the GMO's that did get tested were all cleared for being safe (Leighton Jones, 1999)

"Any concerns about the actual methods of genetic modification are highly unwarranted. Any plant or animal product is full of DNA that our body readily digests, messing with one or two genes isn't going to impact human health. The only way GM food could affect human health is if the modification somehow produce a protein product that was actively toxic to humans. Say what you want about corporate greed, but a big biotech company would never do that because that would cost them a lot of money in the lawsuits down the road" (Quinn Fucile, 2015)

"The presence of foreign DNA sequences in food per se poses no intrinsic risk to human health.³⁸ All foods contain significant amounts of DNA and RNA, consumed in the range of 0.1–1.0 g/day.³⁹ Of potential concern is the possibility that the protein produced by the transgene may be toxic. This would occur if the transgene coded for a toxin that was subsequently absorbed systemically by the host. However, the potential toxicity of the protein expressed in a GM food is an essential component of the safety assessment that has to be performed" (The Royal Society of Medicine).

Potential allergenicity to the novel gene product is another commonly expressed concern. Allergies to non-GM foods such as soft fleshed fruit, potatoes and soy are widespread. Clearly, new varieties of crops produced by either GM techniques or conventional breeding both have the potential to be allergenic. Concern surrounding this topic relates to two factors; the possibility that genes from known allergens may be inserted into crops not typically associated with allergenicity and the possibility of creating new, unknown allergens by either inserting novel genes into crops or changing the expression of endogenous proteins.

Assessment of the allergenic potential of compounds is problematic and a number of different bodies have produced guidelines and decision trees to experimentally evaluate allergenic potential.41–43 These are effective at assessing compounds which may prove to be hazardous through a hierarchical approach which includes determining whether the source of the introduced gene is from an allergenic plant, whether GM foods react with antibodies in the sera of patients with known allergies and whether the product encoded by the new gene has similar properties to known allergens. In addition, animal models are used to screen GM foods.40

As people consume DNA and RNA in all foods they consume (approximately 0.1-1.0 grams a day), GM crop consumption should not affect food safety as it merely changes the DNA sequences that one would already consume. The one concern for consumption of GM crops would be production of toxins by transgenes unintentionally absorbed into a host. However, safety assessments thoroughly check that proteins produced in a GM food are not toxic.

GM crops have the potential to be allergenic as do all foods produced through artificial selection and GM techniques. Most concern about allergenicity of GM crops revolves around the possibility of genes from known allergens being inserted into crops not associated with the allergenicity. Additionally, there is the possibility of creating new allergens by genetically modifying crops. However, assessment of potentially allergenic compounds and evaluations of allergenic potential through reactions with antibodies of people with known allergies and animal models or other testing methods are used to screen GM crops for allergens.

This shows that even after rats were fed 7,000 times the average human daily consumption of GMO tomatoes, they exhibited no symptoms. This means that there is probably no amount of GMO eating that will hurt the body, if 7,000 times the average human daily consumption did not affect rats.

National Institute of Toxicological Research in Seoul, Korea fed rats diets containing either GMO potato or non-GMO potato [6]. For each diet, they tracked male and female rats. To carefully analyze the rats’ health, a histopathological examination of tissues and organs was conducted after the rats died. Histopathology is the examination of organs for disease at the microscopic level (think pathologist doing a biopsy). Histopathological examinations of the reproductive organs, liver, kidneys, and spleen showed no differences between GMO-eating and non-GMO-eating animals (Megan L. Lorris, 2015).

They fed the rats over 7,000 times the average human daily consumption of either GMO or non-GMO tomato or sweet pepper for 30 days and monitored their overall health. Finally, they carried out histopathology and again found no differences in the stomach, liver, heart, kidney, spleen, or reproductive organs of GMO versus non-GMO fed rats. Despite massive ingestion of GMO potato, tomato, or sweet pepper, these studies demonstrated no differences in the vitality or health of the animals, even at the microscopic level (Megan L. Lorris 2015).

As GM crops contain DNA and RNA just as all other foods do, the consumption of GM crops should not be any more dangerous than consuming unmodified crops. Safety assessments also check that proteins produced in GM crops are not toxic if there is an unintentional transgene that is absorbed by a host. As a result, it can be determined that GMOs are not too new for us to know if they are dangerous because we have developed methods to ensure that the GM crops entering the market are safe.

As GM crops have the potential to be allergenic as all foods do, assessments of allergenic compounds and testings are conducted to screen them for allergens. As a result, it can be determined that GMO not too new for us to know if they are dangerous as we have developed ways to assess how safe they are.
