Moreover, although there were concerns about potential human health hazards initially, genetically modified crops have been sold commercially for almost twenty years now; with lots of attention on them, if they created short- or long-term health problems, we would know about it by now. Which of the following, if true, most weakens the argument stated above? There are various ways of producing genetically modified crops, and we are likely develop a new method in the near future which poses new health risks. The improved attributes of genetically modified crops have primarily benefitted not the world's hungry, but rather farmers and the owners of corporations. Although we have studied the potential health impact of eating GMOs on humans, we have not studied potential disruptions to the ecosystem which would threaten human safety indirectly. If companies that produce genetically modified crops discovered a human health hazard of those crops, the companies would have an incentive to downplay or even conceal their findings. Places where the winters are cold rarely have a problem of water shortage. Review Answer
