I recommend reading this, although its only a report it raises some of the important issues surrounding GMOs. There are no claims that it causes cancer or anything extreme like that, but it covers a massive amount of information.

After quickly reviewing it there are massive problems with this paper.
It's authors state their bias at the beginning. It's their intention to challenge GMO use as they believe they're bad. This is not an impartial view.
First off, their "issues" with GMOs are vague. They're bad because they're not natural? Ok. They may be less nutritious? They may also be more nutritious. They may be more allergenic? They may also be less allergenic.
When they get to the "science" part, they quote an often quoted study which showed that rats fed a GMO tomato developed ulcers. There was no control group and they were fed the human equivalent of 10 large tomatoes daily. Guess what? That would happen if you fed them that many non-GMO tomatoes.
I didn't get much further than that tbqh
Their first few references are very, very bad.
