Gene flow and outcrosssing does not necessarily signify environmental damage however potential risks of the transgenes escaping and establishing themselves in the natural agro ecosystems (Eastham & sweet, 2002, p10). This inbreeding between the gm cambogia plants and novel species can give rise to new genetic traits which may or may not be beneficial.

Till date no proper sourced have indicated that usage of genetically modified Garcinia has had detrimental effects on the human health. However, the fact remains that there is existence of a certain percentage of risks in form of possible allergic reaction and immune responses. Another major risk is that since first generation GM crops such as Garcinia use a antibiotic-resistant marker gene for easier cell selection, when ingested these marker genes from GMO may get incorporated into the human gut fauna and make them resistant to antibiotics thereby rendering the person immune to antibiotic therapeutic treatments in the future (Pretty,2001, p254).
