Some scientists have advised there is sufficient scientific evidence to show that the genetic modification of food is intrinsically dangerous. It involves making irreversible changes in a random manner to a complex level of life about which little is known. Leading geneticists have warned that this hit-or-miss approach must disrupt the natural intelligence of the plant or animal to which it is applied, leading to health-damaging side effects and irreversible environmental problems.
And finally, you may find the following quotation interesting.
"Genetic engineering bypasses conventional breeding by using artificially constructed parasitic genetic elements, including viruses, as vectors to carry and smuggle genes into cells. Once inside cells, these vectors slot themselves into the host genome. The insertion of foreign genes into the host genome has long been known to have many harmful and fatal effects including cancer of the organism." - Dr Mae Wan-Ho, geneticist, and scientific adviser to the Third World Network.
As a result of this ongoing debate, Aldomak Ltd have taken the decision to omit GM from our products.
