The anti-GMO crowd is touting a new scientific report which supposedly links GMO crops to all sorts of diseases. However, upon reading it, one wonders how such a report could even find its way into print. Excerpts:

Here they refer to unknown diseases which could be linked to GMO crops, and how the unknown diseases could arise

The traceability of products from animals fed on
GMOs is also crucial. The reason for this is because
they can develop chronic diseases which are not utterly
known today. Such possible diseases could be linked to
the hepatorenal toxicity ...

Finally, they assert that "nobody" would want to eat GMO crops, even if they are NOT toxic, if they had a choice

Moreover, labeling animals fed on GMOs is therefore
necessary because some pesticide residues linked to
GMOs could pass into the food chain and also because
nobody would want to eat disabled or physiologically
modified animals after long-term GMOs ingestion, even
if pesticides residues or DNA fragments are not toxic ...
