What is GM food? Genetically modified food (GM food‚ or biotech food) refers to any food or food ingredient that is‚ or is derived from‚ an organism in which the genetic material has been modified using modern biotechnology. How does GM food be produced? Nowadays‚ scientists can identify and modify genes controlling specific characteristics using modern biotechnology. They use a variety of biotechnology‚ such as biochemical "scissors" to cut the DNA sequence at a specific place‚ and then select

Introduction: “Genetically modified (GM) foods are food items that have had their DNA changed through genetic engineering.” (Mavis 2008). As the population of the world has continued to grow‚ the supply pressure of food has become more and more significant. With the development of Genetically Modified biotechnology‚ GM Foods have been come into our daily lives. Though GM foods can help to improve the quality of life‚ there are risks to complete trust in GM foods. What’s more important‚ a part of

GM salmon‚ on the other hand‚ not only will grow faster but also should reach about twice the size of its wild cousin. The creators of the GM salmon‚ a private company called AquaBounty‚ promises to harvest the salmon before it reaches its full size‚ thus preventing "giant" versions [source: Discover Magazine]. The GM salmon‚ known as AquAdvantage

As for human health‚ the concerns for safety‚ allergenicity‚ toxicity‚ carcinogenicity‚ and altered nutritional quality of food are controversial. Due to the fact that GM contains the transfer of genes that may code for proteins not normally present‚ which means there exist unknown character will be more or less allergenic than their conventional

The Help of GM Crops Norman Borlaug was one of the most influential individuals that no one has ever heard of. His genetic research in Mexico‚ India‚ and Pakistan led to the creation of disease resistant‚ high-yield crops that saved more lives from starvation than the number of those lost in both world wars combined. His pioneering work earned him a Nobel prize in 1970 along with the title‚ “The Man Who Saved a Billion Lives” (Wilson). Scientists have since expanded his research into the field of
