There is genetically engineered corn than was not intended for human consumption that has made its way into the food supply. The problem has only gotten worse. There is poor over site in this area. This can effect the negative fitness of populations and cause harmfull mutations not to mention the long term negative effects yet undiscovered. It is extremely Dangerous and should be self regulated by responsible Researchers who are not prone to corporate money. Unfortunately there are not many.
