 A Review of 6,000 Studies Over Two Decades Delivers Its Verdict on GMO Corn
CHELSEA GOHD, FUTURISM

There is a great deal of misinformation out there regarding genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

From monikers like "Frankenfoods" to general skepticism, there has been a variety of biased reactions to these organisms, even though we as a species have been genetically modifying our foods in one way or another for approximately 10,000 years.

Perhaps some of this distrust will be put to rest with the emergence of a 2018 meta-analysis that shows GM corn increases crop yields and provides significant health benefits.

The analysis, which was not limited to studies conducted in the US and Canada, showed that GMO corn varieties have increased crop yields worldwide 5.6 to 24.5 percent when compared to non-GMO varieties.

In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
