Sarcasm and obvious bias aside, there have actually been hundreds and hundreds of studies over the last 20 years, well into the thousands now, by all kinds of different researchers... universities, independents, government agencies... and there is clear consensus from all those studies that GMO foods are safe.
And those who are clear on the subject also realize that a great deal of the research and development work on GMOs has absolutely nothing to do with Monsanto, so the ongoing effort to conflate the two is just further evidence that anti-GMO activists have no real regard for the truth.
