science behind genetically modified food has been around since the nineteen-seventies with a respectable safety record to support its production. The advances have helped saved millions of lives in places like India‚ Bangladesh‚ and Southeast Asia with the production of Golden Rice. There are no known risks of genetically modified food however there is speculation that is can cause autism and allergic reactions because of the genes added or altered. The most common genetically modified foods are corn‚

April 2012 Genetically Modified Food: World Wide Panacea or “Frankenfood” to Fear? Never before in history has mankind so masterfully commanded its food chain. Thousands of years ago‚ much of our species made the leap from a hunter-gatherer level of subsistence to an agricultural society. With agriculture‚ slowly but surely many modifications were made to plants and animals used and domesticated by us for the purpose of feeding ourselves. New specialized varieties with specific desirable traits

issue of genetically modified foods‚ commonly known as GM’s‚ has only gained the attention of millions‚ since it became a prominent and highly debated global issue. Genetically modified foods are created when the genes of an organism are engineered and modified to create a new or enhanced version of that organism. The process of using different genes from different sources to genetically modify foods led to public outcry and sometimes‚ praise. People in support of genetically modified foods claims

Food has never been the main concern within developed countries‚ but eventually conventional farming methods will struggle to sustain the future’s population. When GMO- Genetically Modified Foods was first introduced‚ people were very skeptical about its safety to the environment and human health. Consequently‚ it has inspired many organizations to be created to protest against the use Genetically Modified Foods. It has been proven safe and is under constant supervision from national authorities

2013 Genetically Modified Foods: Good for Us? Scientists have learned how to modify foods in the last decades of the twentieth century. That is‚ they have learned to manipulate the DNA of plants and animals. Scientists were able to transfer a trait from one organism to another by splicing the DNA of one organism into the DNA of another organism ("Introduction"). This process changes the genetic makeup of plants and labels these altered foods "genetically modified organisms." Food should not

The Negative Consequences of Genetically Modified Food Genetically modified foods (GM foods‚ or biotech foods) are hazardous to your health. These foods are derived from genetically modified organisms (GMOs)‚ specifically‚ genetically modified crops. GMOs have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. Genetically modified organisms‚ or GMOs‚ are created when a gene from one species is transferred to another‚ creating something that would not be found in

The food you are eating is killing you. These foods are genetically enhanced to make them last longer taste better‚ and shield themselves from pests and weeds. Genetically modified foods are in everything‚ you ate them for breakfast and you will eat them for lunch. You need to learn about these foods to save your family and friends from the terrible effects of these foods. You will learn what these foods are‚ the bad effects of them‚ and what will happen if we don’t take action and put an end to
