Wide-ranging claims are made by the industry and its supporters that genetically modified (GM) crops and foods do no harm and are even extremely beneficial. However, it is unscientific to approach these claims unilaterally.

However, a large and growing body of science and other credible evidence suggest that these claims are untrue. On the contrary, the evidence presented in a wide variety of studies is that GM (genetically modified) crops:

• Made in the lab using technology completely different from natural growing methods and carries different risks than non-GM crops
• May be more toxic, allergenic, or less nutritious than their natural counterparts
• Not regulated enough to ensure safety
• Does not increase yield potential
• Herbicide-tolerant "super weeds" pose serious problems for farmers, including poor soil quality and increased disease susceptibility in crops
• May have mixed economic effects and disrupt markets
• Harms soil quality, can disrupt ecosystems and reduce biodiversity
• Does not offer effective solutions to climate change
• Requires as much energy as other chemically grown crops
• It cannot solve the problem of world hunger, but it cannot distract from its root causes, poverty, lack of access to food and, increasingly, lack of access to land to cultivate it.

Based on this research, there is no need to take risks with GM crops when there are effective, readily available and sustainable solutions to the problems that are claimed to already exist in GM technology.
