Former contract researcher Doug Nord worked on several projects for the Environmental Protection Agency helping gather data for approving new technologies and chemicals for the ag industry. During a presentation at the Premium Ag Solutions Ag Day, Nord said there is a misconception that GMOs are digested differently than conventional crops. Material introduced during the genetic modification process produces proteins that are digested like anything else. “All foods have DNA., we’re digesting that all the time,” said Nord. “GMOs that are on the market have been tested very carefully and are shown to be safe.”
