You haven't provided anything. An hour long video from an author ranting about genetically modified foods is not evidence. There has never been any scientific study or any data proving negative health effects from eating genetically modified food.
"A 2008 review published by the Royal Society of Medicine noted that GM foods have been eaten by millions of people worldwide for over 15 years, with no reports of ill effects. Similarly a 2004 report from the US National Academies of Sciences stated: "To date, no adverse health effects attributed to genetic engineering have been documented in the human population."
Feel free to follow through with the sources.
There's Michael Moore videos and 9/11 conspiracy videos which seem cohesive and plausible enough, but they are usually backed up by faulty studies or insufficient data.

It's a common human fallacy to overgeneralise things that happen to you as an individual. Your wife's cancer went into remission while she was taking vitamin C, therefore vitamin c cured it. You were bitten by a dog as a child, therefore all dogs are vicious animals and should be feared.
A simple search regarding health risks and GM foods in a search engine for scientific journals gave me 130 results. The point is that both parties do not have enough information, yet actions are already taken that are unsubstantiated. I have taken two courses on genetics and genetic engineering, so I have some background knowledge on the subject already. Furthermore, my future career is in biotechnology, so I am definitely not blanketing it because it is new. Although I cannot provide statistical evidence on whether GM foods have an impact on health or not, I can use what I have learned and logic. Changing a gene in an organism that changes a phenotype in one way can influence other phenotypes, it is very chaotic in nature. Creating new species like this can have dire consequences on the environment, especially corn, soy, etc. as they can spread easily and perhaps interact with wild types. I am personally unaware of the health risk involving GM foods, but these videos are very convincing.
Personally, I don't care about vitamin supplements, or any other food products that are potentially helpful or dangerous. All I care about in this thread is genetically modified food, as it is most pertinent to me due to my understanding of the risks. Sure, I'm also aware of toxic substances all around us, I've cleaned up sulfuric acid before and handled mercury, but genetically modified organisms is a whole other story.
To beyond_godlike: A contradiction is not arguing. See the Monty Python sketch for more details. I was pissed, off not about the subject, but about the lack of substance in his post, much like yours. Don't come to my threads if you're not going to chat about the subject, arguing what he meant doesn't help him or myself. If you had watched the videos, you'd realize there is exactly the opposite of what you've said.
Anyway, do realize that Monsanto is a monopoly in agribusiness and GMOs, and that the scientists against them are fired from their jobs and lose their tenure.
