Genetically modified organisms are no riskier than their conventionally farmed equivalents, the European Commission's Chief Scientific Advisor Anne Glover has told EurActiv [...] ”There is no substantiated case of any adverse impact on human health, animal health or environmental health, so that's pretty robust evidence, and I would be confident in saying that there is no more risk in eating GMO food than eating conventionally farmed food,” Glover told EurActiv, saying the precautionary principle no longer applies as a result. Glover said she was not promoting GMOs, and added that ”eating food is risky”, explaining: ”Most of us forget that most plants are toxic, and it's only because we cook them, or the quantity that we eat them in, that makes them suitable.”
