GMOs have been subjected to some of the most careful regulatory review of any human consumables on the market, and there is near-unanimous consensus that GM food is every bit as safe as conventionally produced food. GMOs have received support from federal regulators in the United States, the American Medical Association, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the Royal Society of Medicine in the UK, the European Commission, and the World Health Organization. Nevertheless, nearly 60 percent of Americans perceive GMOs as unsafe.
