RE: Genetically modified food can save lives and golden rice is a perfect example
Not sure if genetically modified food is really clean for humans to eat. Do we know for sure 100% that it is harmless? what if the modification changed something that was not intended to change and scientist can't observe or measure it? what if the negative effects are only visible in the long term?
Thanks for commenting. You have a point that we can't be 100% sure that a new GMO is completely safe in the long term. However, golden rice has been around for over 17 years and none of the many studies on it have shown any health or safety concerns. Even if there is a chance that golden rice has a negative long term effect, that chance is strongly outweighed by the potential lives it can save.
