I'm totally on Sandra's side but I will note that not all GM ingredients are created equally. There are some genetic modification processes that are just meant to propagate a particular (identical) strain, a clone if you will, that perhaps has characteristics (genetic material) from a couple strains in that species. Then there are genetic modifications that introduce designer sequences of genes that don't really occur in nature. And then there are transgenic genetic modifications, wherein a genetic sequence from one species is inserted into the genetic code of another. This is the case, for example, with bT corn where bacteria genes are spliced into corn.
Monsanto, of course, doesn't want you to know about any of them and doesn't want any of them regulated. They are pure evil. None the less, there is likely substantially different risk profiles in the different types of genetic modification and they shouldn't all be considered the same.
