GM crops are public enemy #1 for pretty much anyone who is looking for healthy food, healthy environments, and healthy people. Claim after claim is made about how they will destroy other crops, put small farmers out of business, or negatively affect the health of humans...but what happens when studies in respected magazines put forth the assertion that GM crops actually help their environment and the non-GM crops around them...including organic crops?

While this doesn't prove they are A-OK for consumption, though I'm not sure if anything will prove that to many people, it does seem to say that their are a number of unintended benefits of GM crops. It doesn't look like it's all the gloom and doom opposers would have you believe. I'm, not going to stand here and say that you should be convinced either way, but it does prove the point that there are many sides to every story...and it's really hard to get those sides straight if you're only reading from one source.
