GMO rocks the house !
Study below proves it.
Many people shell out extra money for organic food in the belief that it's safer and more nutritious. What are the facts? Scientists at Stanford decided to take a look.

Study first author Dr. Crystal Smith-Spangler said she is often asked by her patients whether organic food is worth the trouble. To get at the answer, she and her colleagues sifted through the scientific literature and found 17 studies comparing effects of organic and conventionally grown foods on human beings and 223 more that didn't involve people but examined the levels of nutrients and contaminants in the items.
