Arpad Pusztai's Opinions

Genetically Modified Food

Is genetically modified food safe to eat?

Mostly Disagree

When I started my experiments I was for GM foods. But after what they did to me, my sympathies are with people campaigning against GM foods. ...adequate studies have not been done. Because the companies when they released these things never tested them properly [for] potential hazards... It does not mean that, by definition, it must occur in nature, but it might occur. With irreversible GM technology this becomes even more important because you have no chance of having a remedy.
