AMA promotes benefits of “genetically improved” foods
The concept of GMO (genetically modified organism) is very controversial. The main problem is that we are creating new proteins that the body has never before been exposed to, creating a myriad of opportunities for new food allergies/sensitivities. On the other hand, many of the GMO products are produced to make the organism grow better or more hardy and resistant to disease. Personally, I choose not to put any GMOs into my body if I can help it. And, by the way, when did the AMA become such a wonderful reference source?
