Cancer can be caused by a multitude of things: This movie shows that companies don't necessarily care about health more than their bottom lines:

CRISPR gene editing carries a potential risk, study finds: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://answers.childrenshospital.org/crispr-gene-editing/%23:~:text%3DThey%2520found%2520that%2520CRISPR%2520increased,rearrangements%2520can%2520theoretically%2520trigger%2520cancer.&ved=2ahUKEwixgNDBoJ_7AhVUrJUCHT2yBXQQFnoECAkQBQ&usg=AOvVaw3wxVhCvVkxxPGcPPEEJf7Q

I know this is crispr applied to vegetables and fruits, but I simply don't trust this new technology, and I don't think I'm wrong here (unless you cite a study or some biologist/chemist saying this is absolutely safe for humans).

Do you know what I think when I see news like this? Cancer

EDIT: People downvoting me should be way more cautious with what they ingest.
This is gene-editing guys, it's not a light thing, it could have serious health implications. Since I only control my behavior, I will not consume gene-edited food unless we have 20 year studies measuring it's safety, thank you, agrotoxics are already dangerous.
