Genetically engineered Corn, can it be linked to cancer?

Genetically engineered corn is found in just about every product in our supermarkets, it's feed to our beef cattle and to our milking cattle. It's broken down into sweeteners for our soft drinks... it's found in just about everything we eat.

Read the ingredients label on just about any product you buy at the local store and you will find some form of corn additive.

Can this be linked to cancer? It certainly can be linked to the population explosions seen in the past century... mostly due to large surpluses of Ammonium Nitrate left over from WW2. During the war, Ammonium Nitrate was used to make explosive ordnance for the war effort, Ammonium Nitrate is an ideal fertilizer and after the war the, War Department sold the left over surpluses to farmers struggling to keep up with war time shortages. This skyrocketed corn production, farmers now had a crop that was producing twice or triple the amount they're corn field used to yield. Thus more food= more people and more people= more money. But that was still not enough, giving way to a new method of making corn fields produce more corn, modified corn combined with "super fertilizers" is the name of the game today. How can this be healthy for human consumers? It certainly isn't healthy to the cattle that are force fed modified corn, so how can it be healthy for us?
