Craziest Health Conspiracy Theories Revealed

GMOS Control The Population

A general culture of public mistrust in technology and science has made GMOs the target of many conspiracy theories. Genetically modified organisms are typically just things like rice that contain extra levels of vitamin A, but conspiracy theorists claim that there is a darker, hidden agenda behind GMOs. The lighter theories about GMOs revolve around the idea of big corporations rushing GMOs to the market without proving they are safe. More fringe conspiracies suggest that companies actually know GMOs are not safe, and the companies are purposefully creating unsafe GMOs. Supposedly, these evil companies are producing genetically modified crops that do not provide enough nutrition or purposefully alter hormones to impair fertility. Conspiracy theorists suggest that the end goal of GMO companies is to reduce population growth, and they fear that the government may be behind this. In reality, the GMOs for population control theory does not hold up because most GMOs actually boost population growth as they make it easier to grow more nutritious food on smaller areas of land.
