Hardly. GMOs have been extensively tested, moreso than most foods. Many tests done by independent researchers. Here is a detailed list of 600 peer reviewed studies on GMOs. No doubt a few funded from Monsanto, no doubt most not.

Other less specific sources I have say 2000+ peer reviewed papers. 70% not funded by seed producers of whatever stripe. Here's a good review of the scientific literature article, covering the last ten years.

"The scientific research conducted so far has not detected any significant hazards directly connected with the use of GE crops; however, the debate is still intense. An improvement in the efficacy of scientific communication could have a significant impact on the future of agricultural GE. Our collection of scientific records is available to researchers, communicators and teachers at all levels to help create an informed, balanced public perception on the important issue of GE use in agriculture"

I'm no great fan of heavy pesticide residues. Or Monsanto. I am a fan of science. GMOs are not all about pesticide residues or Monsanto. And they have been extensively tested, often by independent researchers.

I'm done here. Feel free to have the last word.
