Yes, I know, I'm supposed to trust the big company scientists whose major concern is my safety. It so happens that preliminary research suggests that men with high levels of IGF-1 might be at higher risk for prostate cancer, and women for breast cancer. Fat chance of that, short of knocking off many of life's culinary goodies. There are many more health issues associated with the cornucopia of genetically engineered foods. Take food sensitivity.
Unexpected allergens can emerge from gene-recombinant technology.
One study showed that soybeans containing a Brazil-nut gene could cause reactions in people sensitive to Brazil nuts. Questions also remain unanswered about the environmental harm this new technology might inflict. Lab studies suggest this is a reasonable concern. A recent report by Danish scientists showed that genes from canola specimens genetically modified to resist herbicides were able to be transferred to their weed relatives. This points to a potentially frightening scenario of humankind combatting a weed revolution, rather than enjoying the promised benefits of a food revolution.
