CAUSE AND EFFECT ON GM FOODS I have selected to research and write about the potential dangers and benefits of genetically modified (GM) foods. Genetically modified foods are produced from organisms that have had specific changes introduced into their DNA using methods of genetic engineering. These techniques have allowed far greater control over food’s genetic structure than past methods like selective breeding. Genetically modified foods were introduced commercially for sale in 1994. No thorough

Food shortage‚ world hunger‚ and starvation are three reasons as to why scientists have decided to modify foods.
