You don’t need to avoid GM foods to reduce your risk of cancer. But there are other ways to reduce the risk, including eating a healthy balanced diet.
Some people worry that GM foods are unnatural and might be harmful. But it’s useful to remember that we have been changing genes of living things for hundreds of years, by selecting plants and animals to breed. This process changes the genes of the things we eat, but it’s also not linked to cancer.
Because GM foods are relatively new, research continues to make sure that there aren’t any long-term health effects.
