Here's the thing about wanting more research; you can always do more research. There's no such thing as having a full understanding of something, so it's a bit of a cop-out to just say "ehhh, more research is needed". You can say that till the cows come home. And aside from that, we still don't even really understand "food", there's no "food science" that is even close to accurate.
There are millions of people involved in the food supply chain. At some point, if a GMO food becomes toxic to us, by sheer probability, someone involved in food will raise the alarms.
I think the caution around GMO foods is misplaced. GMO, Organic, or neither, the kid at the grocery store sprays chemicals all over them multiple times a day to keep them fresh. Vegetables and fruits are picked under-ripe and ripened with chemicals. The food is packaged in plastics and shipped along a smokey, polluted freeway. Of all the things to attack about the food supply chain, GMO is the last thing to worry about.
