The myths and truths behind GMOs with Dr Kevin Flota
Episode 30
Saturday, 18 October, 2025
This week, I am joined by Dr. Kevin Folta, Professor of Horticultural Sciences at the University of Florida, to unpack one of the most misunderstood topics in nutrition and agriculture—genetically modified organisms (GMOs). We explore what genetic engineering really means, how it’s regulated, and what decades of research reveal about its safety, sustainability, and potential to improve global food systems. In this episode, we cover: What “genetic engineering” actually is (and why the term GMO is misleading) Common myths about health risks and what the science really says How genetic engineering impacts pesticide use and biodiversity The story of Golden Rice and why fear sometimes outweighs facts What foods are truly genetically engineered in the U.S. How regulation has limited innovation to big corporations Future breakthroughs—like allergy-free fruit and drought-tolerant crops Follow Dr.Kevin Folta: Podcast: www.talkingbiotech.com Follow us on Instagram: @modrnmed @dr.marypardee
