Food has never been so alien to the human body.

A huge health problem with GM plants is why they are modified to begin. While supporters love to say "larger yields!" thats not the whole truth. The real truth is they wanted to create plants that could absorb as much pesticide and toxins as possible without damage to the plants. The whole idea is, if the plant can survive a ton of pesticides then they can gas the field 24/7 and kill every freakin bug.

Its working. GM plants are doing a great job absorbing the toxins while staying alive.

The toxins stay in the plants system. Then you eat the plant, the virus infecting dna and toxins. To argue that these toxins are safe to eat is completely ridiculous and ignorant. There is no argument that these toxins are safe. Its plain and evident on the freaking labels of these pesticides. Farmers have to wear hazmat suits while handling these dangerous toxins. Gardners using liquid versions have to wear gloves. Failure to do so leads to all sorts of diseases. ITS ON THE LABEL. Dont drink the stuff!

Thousands of farmers can't have children as a direct result of the toxins they get into everyday. Small towns near these farms - where the farms pesticides and toxins flow into the water supply - have witnessed a reduction in the number of male children being born. Governments have taken this seriously and several countries have already banned the use of certain pesticides and fertilizers.

We know that these certain pesticides and fertilizers are bad to the human body. We know that GM plants are modified to be able to take on large quantities of both. And we know that GM plants keep these toxins in their system at a significantly higher rate than non-gm plants.

Scientists know this means disease for human beings. Theres just no way around that.

The only reason why just "correlation" isnt because the science behind it is weak..no the science is strong. The reason why its "correlation" is becuase the scientists dont have any control of the situation!! Literally, they've got NO CONTROLS. In the US, GM food doesn't have to be labeled. Without this labeleing, its just "correlation" and the GM companies can get away with anything.

The next time you purchase conventionally grown produce, ask yourself "Does the label inform me whether or not its a GM using systemic pesticides?". And if you become sick, how can you ever know it was the food?
Again, this is an argument against evil business practices, not GM.
