Detailed explanation-1: -There have been concerns that eating GMO foods can contribute to the development of cancer by raising levels of potentially carcinogenic substances in the body. The American Cancer Society states there is no evidence that currently available GMO foods either increase or reduce the risk of cancer.
Detailed explanation-2: -Are GMO foods on the market safe to eat? Yes. GMO foods are carefully studied before they are sold to the public to ensure they are as safe as2 the foods we currently eat. These studies1 show that GMOs do not affect you differently than non-GMO foods.
