15. The only case...

Oct 2013

The only case of people becoming sick by eating GMO corn were accidentally fed GMO corn feed, the stuff meant for cows. The amount of fiber in that type of corn is too much for humans to handle. You could eat the safest organic corn feed and you would still end up with acute fiber poisoning.

I hate Monsanto, but there is too much misinformation out there about GMOs.
