I am very curious on what your thoughts are on GMO's in our food and over the counter supplement supply.

I will continue to eat organic, you can eat with ever you choose. See you later in hospice care. Best to you.

Organic food makes you immortal, I guess :)

In all seriousness, if you have evidence/research that organic consumers live longer or don't get sick or ill as often as the rest of us I'd love to see it. I'm open to changing my mind.

Saw a movie on Netflix the other day called Consumed about GMO's and the lack of any regulation when they were starting to use that technology. GMO companies are very big business and big money. Interesting movie (stated based on factual events), come to your own conclusions. When foods are genetically modified there can be consequences like new allergens due to changes in the molecular structure of certain amino acids, etc.

I haven't looked at the new research yet but plan to. The research that was initially done many years ago was slanted to show that GM plants and chickens were safe yet people were getting sick and so were the chickens. It reminded me of the tobacco industry and how powerful it was.

I haven't been on AllNurses in awhile but this topic turned into a hostile thread, just surprised. I feel that this site is a great place for respectful and intelligent discussions. When members get sarcastic it's a real turnoff, especially if you're the recipient. Anyway, I'd love to have more discussion on this topic if anyone is seriously interested.

He's and Dinah77 I love you!

Gmos are are safe. Organic is a scam. If you want to argue otherwise please provide support in the way of links to peer reviewed studies.

I am interested in the studies where you found that GMO's are safe and organic food is a scam. Thanks

There is no scientific evidence that GMOs are harmful

so, so much misinformation about this topic

I would challenge anyone on this thread buying into the hype of the tinfoil hat crowd to cite one study proving they are harmful to humans

I know this is an old thread but if you see this would you mind adding a link to the research that proves GMO's are not harmful? Thank you
