This study explored the association between long-term consumption of genetically modified foods (GM foods) and the risk of chronic disease onset. The study reviews the development history of GM foods and their position in the global food supply, introducing different types of GM foods and common gene editing techniques, as well as assessments about their safety. Based on a systematic analysis of existing research, we explored the relationship between GM foods and chronic diseases. Furthermore, this study discusses multiple factors and uncertainties of disease risk, including genetic and environmental factors. Finally, this study also highlights the challenges and limitations in this field and prospects future research directions, aiming to provide a scientific basis for the research between GM foods and chronic diseases.
