Studies have shown that genetically modified corn and soy fed to rats led to a higher risk of them developing liver and kidney problems. These health risks may not be transferable to humans, but they illustrate the unpredictable nature of GMOs on living things.

GMOs are not always tested thoroughly. The shortest GMO testing times are a mere 90 days, which many fear is simply not enough time to ascertain all of the risks.

Transgenic modification produces organism types which would never occur naturally, making them highly unpredictable.

GMOs could affect those with allergies in unpredictable ways.

 Though GMOs were developed with a view to reducing the amount of pesticides used, this is not always the case. As weeds and bacteria become resistant to the pesticide, farmers actually use more, safe in the knowledge the crop will not be affected.

Often GMO products are not clearly labelled, meaning people do not have the choice to decide whether or not they wish to consume GMO products.

GMO testing often involves performing experiments upon animals, which some people feel is a breach of animal rights.

1. They may contribute to an increase in food-related allergies. 

2. Genetic engineering can trigger allergies from alternative foods. 

3. GMOs may contribute to antibiotic resistance. 

4. One research paper connects GMOs to cancer formation. 

5. Just 6 companies control almost the entire GMO seed market and 70% of the global pesticide market. 

6. Herbicide resistance happens naturally without the need for genetic engineering. 

7. Independent research is not allowed with GMO seeds from half of today’s controlling organizations.

-Engineering can also eliminate seeds and produce a longer shelf life
-Less chemicals, time, machinery, and land are needed for GMO crops and animals, which can help reduce environmental pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and soil erosion
-By modifying some GMO foods in terms of mineral or vitamin content, companies can supply more necessary nutrients and help fight worldwide malnutrition
