RE: GMO food isn't going to make your food allergies worse, but could make them better.

Thanks for your comment. But saying

The rest is a lot of pseudoscience, conspirationism and fake news that is not seen in any of the studies I have found.

doesn't seem very unbiased to me.
I will read your article later though - I'm rushing out for the day.

Sort:  

After you will read, you will understand better.
What I am saying is that, in the media, most of the bad claims associated with GMO's are not backed by studies, while all the studies I have read show no evidence of those claims.
You can't have two realities so you must decide if you believe the media or the studies :D

By all means, don't take my word for it, this is what I like about science!

I've read your article now, and it is really excellent - very well researched and, as you say, unbiased. You probably won't be surprised when I say that I still hold the practices of Monsanto/Syngenta in very low regard.
One thing that particularly disturbs me about GMOs is that they can be invasive - once the genie is out of the bottle, it's difficult to put it back in. I'm happy for others to enjoy GMO food while I eat my organic food, but in some cases, cross-contamination is very difficult to prevent and detect.
However I live in Scotland, so if I buy local food there is not much chance of it being GMO.
