No!. You are what you eat in terms of the amino acids you get from food being used to form proteins, the "building blocks" of your body!.

GM foods are modified at the DNA level!. They are stronger, more disease resistant (sometimes) because they have different DNA to other foods!. In order to make you stronger, more disease resistant these foods would have to alter your DNA too!. While there are some fears for horizontal transfer (i!.e!. passing DNA between different organisms), it is unlikely that you could become a "superhuman" by eating GM foods!.

If you were altered in anyway it would most likely be by becoming resistant to certain strains of antibiotics (not a good thing) as GM foods contain antibiotic resistant "markers" which help in their creation!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, but you will improve the general welfare by promoting foods that are cheaper, use less pesticides and less fertilizers, and often less water!.
An exception is golden rice, which contains a number of nutrients the lack of which in traditional rice constitutes a serious problem in many parts of the world!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
