We're back again with another controversial nutrition topic: GMO Foods. GMO stands for "Genetically Modified Organism" and much of our food today has been genetically modified (for many reasons). This has sparked a lot of debate in farming and health communities regarding their safety. In this episode, we answer all your questions on GMOs:

• How are GMOs used in food production?
• Are GMO foods safe to consume?
• What about herbicides like glyphosate (i.e. Roundup)?
• Is organic food any better?
