Shocking? 68% Of Doctors Believe GMOs Should Be Labeled

• True Activist

After USA Today blatantly called consumers 'ignorant' for wanting GMOs labeled, a recent poll revealing a large percent of doctors seeking the same does seem a bit shocking.

But as it goes, a leading network of doctors have voted on GMO labeling, and they overwhelmingly support it. 

The website SERMO, through which the poll was conducted, presently consists of 358,000 members – all verified and credentialed physicians. At the moment, they represent physicians primarily in the United States and Canada, but that network is expanding to a global basis.

As the poll reports, of all the doctors asked if they thought genetically modified should be labeled, 68% think people deserve the right to know what is in their food. No doubt this is because few long-term studies on GM foods have been conducted, and many potential side effects are still being investigated. And, of course, everyone deserves the basic right to know what they are consuming.

According to SERMO, the website is essentially like a social networking site for doctors, where they can "talk openly and anonymously."
