non-GMO foods and supplements? - According to a recent CBS/New York Times poll‚ 53% of consumers said they would not buy food that has been genetically modified. How common are GMOs? In the U.S.‚ GMOs are in as much as 80% of conventional processed food. Why does the Non-GMO Project verify products that have a low risk of containing GMOs? - Some ingredients that seem low-risk may have less-visible high-risk ingredients. (Ex: dried food) - Contamination incidents have occurred with seemingly “low-risk” products

The 21st century has presented a major set of converging threats as the pressures of population growth‚ climate change and food insecurity are driving the world towards worsening hunger and malnutrition. Many people argue that Genetically Modified (GM) crops are promoted as a ‘Miracle Solution’ to solve the food shortage crisis since the use of genetic engineering enables genetic materials to be modified and in turn creates new varieties that exhibit desirable characteristics such as resistant to

Take corn as an example‚ majority of the food we find in supermarkets turn out to be 1 “clever rearrangements of corn” - chewing gums‚ canned soups‚ condensed milk‚ instant coffee‚ ice cream‚ frozen seafood and many more are all corn and corn by-product.

to develop an agricultural strategy which is sustainable‚ environment friendly‚ protects the biodiversity and enhances human well being. Policymakers around the world are considering the option of transgenic or genetically modified (GM) crops to solve this problem. GM crops contain a gene or genes which have not been inserted into them through pollination but artificially. The gene which is inserted may come from the same species or different species and are resistant to insects and diseases (Bhat

GM (Gentically Modified) or GE (Genetically Engineered) foods are plant crops created for the consumption of humans and animals using the latest genetic engineering techniques. Genetically modifying food involves altering a plant ’s genes‚ either by removing a gene or adding a gene from another living being. There has been high controversy around introducing GM foods as a solution to the world food crisis. Are GM foods harmful of helpful? Many concerns have risen around GM foods‚ including economical

GM FOOD As the population in the world seems to be a huge serious problems‚ the demand on foods will be taken a very important role on solving this problems. Fortunately‚ biotechnological scientists had developed a technique which can modify organisms genetically (GMO). Genetically Modified Organisms are the process normally transferring genes‚ which were so-called DNA‚ between two species. Those organisms will be modified their genetic structure by using biotechnology. This technique can be used
