Many people, on both sides of the debate, have given in-depth insight into what genetically modified foods can do for/for humans.

To some people, this seems like a positive benefit to genetically modified foods. Others, however, found that these facts simply didn't help them in the long run. Much of the population probably doesn't know this, but the majority of foods produced in the United States are actually genetically modified foods. The side effects people talk about are health problems that seem to occur when ingesting genetically modified foods.
