Public health advocates have raised fresh concerns about the growing promotion of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) by certain influencers and self-proclaimed health experts.
According to critics, some social media personalities have been accused of downplaying the potential risks associated with GMOs, leaving many members of the public confused about their safety.
The concern, they say, extends beyond food consumption. Campaigners warn that the widespread acceptance of GMOs without proper scrutiny could have long-term consequences for human health, including the potential for new diseases, a reduction in nutritional value, and increased poverty.
“This is not just about what we eat, it is about our overall well-being,” one advocate stated. “If we do not stand up and fight this now, the impact on our health and livelihoods could be devastating.”
Observers also allege that some influencers promoting GMOs are motivated by financial gain rather than genuine concern for public welfare. They caution the public against accepting information at face value, urging people to research independently before making decisions about their food.
A video highlighting these concerns is posted below as part of a wider awareness campaign.
