People who most oppose genetically modified foods know the least about the science behind them, according to new research by University of Colorado scholars and researchers at other universities.

In a representative survey of U.S. residents, researchers measured three things: respondents' attitudes about genetically modified foods, their scientific literacy, and their self-assessment of their knowledge on the topic. The researchers found that the more extreme a person's opposition, the more likely they were to think they were knowledgeable about the subject but score lower on the scientific literacy component.
