The problem is that we have GMO foods without any clear reasearch on hazards for the human health. Scientists from the UK and Germany ran series of tests on mice that were fed with GM potatoes. The results showed altered health conditions with severe damage of mice liver. Still there is no research on how GM products would affect human weight.

My logic tells me the following though:
1. If we don't know whether there's any connection between fatness and GM foods or not, it doesn't mean that there's NO connection.
2. US is the only country in the world that uses GM foods for several years now and this country is considered to have the fattest population in the world too.

I guess, there's no clear answer to the question if the GM foods contribute to the increasign weight or not.

P.S. Cool, is it possible for you to have a conversation with "your source on genetics" and tell us if "your source" thinks that there's a connection or not?
