• Immune resistance – the more organic materials' genetic makeup are tampered with, the more likely human immunity is weakened
• Intrusion into the delicate balance of ecosystems – which may threaten biodiversity
• Toxin transfer – genetically modified organisms (GMOs) lower immune resistance in animals which may transmit toxins into groundwater that, in turn, passes disease onto humans
• Trade disputes – companies and/or countries who dominate the technology of GM foods risk conflicts and trade wars between nations
• Dependency – GM foods risk the dependence of developing nations on industrialized nations, via the companies from industrialized countries
