All research findings and studies conducted both locally and internationally have never linked the rising cases of cancer in the country to the consumption of genetically modified foods (GMFs), an expert has stated.
Walter Odede Nyakwaka, a scientist trained at Kenyatta University and the Chief Executive Officer of Africa Alive, Kenya chapter, made the assertion.
Odede-Nyakwaka noted that there is no correlation between the rising cases of cancer and the consumption of genetically modified food products.
He emphasised that there is no scientific evidence to support claims in the mass media linking GMOs to cancer. "The rise in cancer cases began long before GM foods entered the market in Kenya and other countries, so those who link the disease with foods created through genetic engineering are laypeople.
