Within the last few years, the touchy debate of whether genetically modified organisms (GMOs) pose a risk to our health has captured the public's attention, with many people concluding that the practice is unnatural, and therefore unsafe (Debate.org, 2013). Due to these beliefs, many people are under the impression that long-term consumption of genetically modified crops are responsible for a wide range of maladies, including but not limited to cancer (Adams, 2012). Many concerned consumers are driven to purchase costly organic food items, which are no more nutritious than their conventionally farmed counterparts (Wilcox, 2011). Furthermore, these negative perceptions of GMOs deter the public from realizing the true potential of this promising technology. Ironically, some of the most appealing advantages of GM plants are for non-food purposes (University of Santa Cruz, 2005). These altered plants may make it possible to provide the material to create edible plant vaccinations, which can be used to immunize countless people from an array of infectious diseases (USC, 2005). Recently, Mike Adams (2012) of "Natural News" wrote an article titled, "GMO Corn Linked To Cancer Tumors,  which was based off of the French study entitled, "A Comparison of the Effect of Three GM Corn Varieties on Mammalian Health."  The study, which was published in 'The Journal of Food & Chemical Toxicology," reported that Monsanto's genetically modified corn caused laboratory rats to develop deadly tumors, organ damage, and even early death (De Venda' mois, Roullier, Cellier, Seralini, 2012). The study, conducted by Joel Spiroux de Vendomois, Francois Roullier, Dominique Cellier, and Gilles-Eric Seralini (2012) at Monsanto (Missouri, USA) and also at Covance Laboratories Inc. (Virginia, USA), hypothesized that rats fed with genetically modified corn would show abnormalities in their health when compared to rats that were given non-GM feed. The independent vari
