Well GMO products have been frequently linked to health risks. There’s a link between GMO foods and allergies, even to antibiotic resistance.
Here’s a really interesting quote:
"In recent years health professionals have become alarmed by the increasing number of bacterial strains that are showing resistance to antibiotics. Bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics by creating antibiotic resistance genes through natural mutation. Biotechnologists use antibiotic resistance genes as selectable markers when inserting new genes into plants. In the early stages of the process scientists do not know if the target plant will incorporate the new gene into its genome. By attaching the desired gene to an antibiotic resistance gene the new GM plant can be tested by growing it in a solution containing the corresponding antibiotic. If the plant survives scientists know that it has taken up the antibiotic resistance gene along with the desired gene. There is concern that bacteria living in the guts of humans and animals could pick up an antibiotic resistance gene from a GM plant before the DNA becomes completely digested (GEO-PIE website)."

Here is a whole list of archived articles about risks from eating, cultivating or otherwise having GMO crops and food available to people:

This is just a University of Michigan sponsored short snippet of an article about GMO health risks:

And of course, there’s always the environmental effects of GMO:

This article is in itself not on the most unbiased of sites, but they do back their words with some great research links, some of which ARE from very reliable sources.
Just keep an eye out on sources and what the bias is. Also, take anything sponsored by a company called Monsanto with a HUGE grain of salt because Monsanto is a major player in the GMO arena and has a lot of interest in making sure people believe GMO crops are safe.

Planet Diversity calls upon the friends and guardians of diversity on this planet to join them in celebrating the natural and cultural diversity of life in food and agriculture. For five days, during the negotiations of the UN-Convention on Biodiversity, they discussed how farmers, consumers, food producers and their communities can cooperate. A global movement from different directions came together for the common cause of defending diversity against destructive and threatening tendencies in agriculture, rural development and food production.
