By this‚ the farmers can freely spray pesticides on the GM crops without affecting them. However‚ when a human consumes a genetically modified crop‚ the consumer is also in taking the pesticide that was sprayed on it. Consuming the pesticide can be very harmful to the human’s health.

By Wendy Du GM Foods as a possible solution for world hungry 1. Introduction Genetically modified foods are foods derived from genetically modified organisms (GMOS). GMOS have had particular turns led to their DNA by genetic engineering techniques.In fact‚GM foods are already becoming a part of our life.(Maessen‚ 1997) The 2010 estimate‚ the most recent‚ says that 925 million people were undernourished in 2010 (FAO 2010).

GM maize‚ health and the Séralini affair Smelling a rat GENETICALLY modified maize causes cancer: that was the gist of a study‚ among the most controversial in recent memory‚ published in September 2012 in the journal‚ Food and Chemical Toxicology. Well‚ actually‚ it doesn’t. The journal has just retracted the article. It would be too much to say that GM foods have therefore been proven safe. But no other study has so far found significant health risks in mammals as a result of eating GM foods

Therefore‚ the co-existence between GMO farming and conventional farming or organic farming is very difficult. BBC News reported the result of a study conducted by the UK-based National Pollen Research in 1999. The result showed that airborne GM pollen can be carried hundreds of kilometers in 24 hours‚ and the pollen was found 4.5 km from a field of GM oilseed in Oxford

to provide a clear definition of a GM or GMO product at the beginning of my primary task. In addition‚ you cited an exceedingly interesting fact‚ one I had not found during my research‚ that in almost all study cases the GM crops produced 6 to 11 percent less yields for studied soybean crops (Exposed: the great GM crops myth‚ 2008).
