Health Concerns with Non-Dairy Spreads

I've got a question that has been nagging me for a long time now. I have searched for information on it over the web, but find it hard to locate just what I'm looking for. So, I'm hoping that any of you out there who are well educated on the subject can spell it out for me plain and simple. Thank you in advance :)

I have heard and read somewhere that the ingredients in commercial nondairy spreads like ones made from canola, corn, soy, etc. are toxic. I'm sure due to GMO ingredients and processing methods but, it's not really clear. I read something like they twist your own DNA and cause your major organs such as your liver to become diseased. What are the health concerns with non-dairy spreads? How are they harmful and what exactly makes them toxic as well as what are the specific risks?

Also, I have begun to replace these types of spreads in my diet with coconut oil and olive oil solidified in the fridge. Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

Thanks again :)
