Currently there doesn't appear to be any evidence that GMO is bad for your health and most GMO is just transplanting genes from other edible organisms.

Hopefully regulators aren't going to allow insertion of engineered genes producing novel molecules without going through actual medical grade trials for those molecules. Or it may torpedo the entire industry.

Abscense of proof is not proof of abscense.

Determining cause and effect in the interaction of complicated systems is no easy task.

In every case of GMO food I have encountered, the compounds are not novel. Rather, they're an adaptation or resistance found in one species and transferred to another.

Currently there doesn't appear to be any evidence...

And if we're wrong, how do you remove GMO organisms afterwards?
