Plant derived DNA can be absorbed thru ingestion directly into the bloodstream, without being broken down. GMO camp going to have a difficult time with this one, as it was a 1k person study
In one of the blood samples the relative concentration of plant DNA is higher than the human
“[O]ur study demonstrated that Bt spore-crystals genetically modified to express individually Cry1Aa, Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac or Cry2A induced hematotoxicity, particularly to the erythroid lineage,” wrote the authors. “This finding corroborates literature that demonstrated that alkali-solubilized Bt spore-crystals caused in vitro hemolysis in cell lines of rat, mouse, sheep, horse, and human erythrocytes and suggested that the plasma membrane of susceptible cells (erythrocytes, in this case) may be the primary target for these toxins.”

While the study is interesting, in part because strands of cfDNA has started being used as markers for tumors, there’s no indication that some strand of DNA from GMO are more or less dangerous than cfDNA from non-GMO (although new DNA is of course possibly more dangerous than DNA we have evolved with). Besides, the study reported the presence of chloroplast DNA, which are of course inside plants but have their own DNA.
The second study is more interesting and to the point, although I wasn’t able to find a study on how much Cry we absorb with our diet.

edit to add another study on blood disorders
