The Entire World Needs To Hear This
The negative effects of GMO is not in the organism itself but is a large scale impact. Corn has been engineered to grow for maximum yield but that corn has no nutritional value and is only a commodity for feeding livestock. Livestock which is not intended to eat corn. Cows are ruminants. When you feed them corn they develop acid in their guts and become breeding grounds for acid resistant E-coli which is dangerous to us. They also expel more gas.
Now the corn, farmers never used to grow corn in a field any more than every 5 years because it robs the soil of all its nutrients. They would rotate their crops to maintain fertility. Now you have farmers growing only corn all the time and they have to use petroleum based fertilizers. These fertilizers put large quantities of nitrates into local water systems. Iowa communities occasionally have to issue "Blue Baby Alerts" because there is so much contamination in the tap water that it will cause cyanosis in infants and prevent their blood from transporting oxygen properly.
For more well informed and objective writing on this topic, read some Michael Pollan books. "The Omnivore's Dilemma" covers this topic quite extensively.

All of the available evidence that I have seen does not support your contention.
which contention is that?
Great message to share except when it comes to GMO's I fear the battle is already lost. (in north America anyway)
I just found out yesterday (I am late to learn because my partner does most of the groceries) that you can't even buy watermelons anymore that are not seedless. (GMO)
Like many reports have said north America has GMO's in everything! So it is not something we could simply boycott. (sad but true)
Unless everyone decides to grow their own food but I doubt that would happen or even possible
People should understand that humankind exists thanks to GMOs.
The "cattle" that is mentioned at this same article, would not even exist...

If I made a list of GMOs "anti-GMO" enthusiasts use in their daily life, they'd die of starvation or diseases within weeks.
