Genetically manipulated food remains generally safe for humans and the environment, a high-powered science advisory board declared in a report Tuesday.

The National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine concluded that tinkering with the genetics of what we eat doesn't produce the "Frankenfood" monster some opponents claim — but it isn't feeding the world with substantially increased yields, as proponents promised.
With the line between engineered and natural foods blurring thanks to newer techniques such as gene editing, the*408-page report (http://nas-sites.org/ge-crops/category/report/) said, regulators need to make their safety focus more on the end-product of the food that's made rather than the nuts and bolts of how it's made.
