Are GMO products really bad for our health?

Question:

Answers:
He, like so many other farmers and Americans, may not know that according to field and lab tests, these "promising" seeds, with what scientists admit are unpredictable ecological effects, have already:

Decreased soybean yields 6-11%, according to a University of Nebraska study;
Caused farmers to use 2-5 times more herbicides than conventional seed (see a study by Dr. Charles Benbrook, a consultant for the Consumers Union at http://www.biotech-info.net/RR_yield_drag_98.pdf;
Created antibiotic-resistant genes (found in all GE foods) that transfer into the bacteria of the digestive tract, so that animals and humans ingesting GMOs are likely incubating drug-resistant pathogens;
Yielded herbicide-resistant "superweeds" in Canada;
Harmed beneficial insects and soil microorganisms;
Shifted delicate ecological balances so that formerly minor pests like stink bugs on cotton crops are becoming major problems;
Increased IGF-1 levels in rBGH-derived milk, already suspected to pose added cancer risk;
Failed to taste better. In 1996 Monsanto/Calgene’s Flavr Savr tomatoes were taken off the market after failing their objectives;
And something called cauliflower mosaic viral promoters (found in almost all GE foods) are likely setting off hazardous biochemical reactions in our bodies, according to some researchers.

In my opinion they are a nightmare. Rent "The Future of Food" and make you're own choices. I've gone organic.
