Genetic Modified Food
" Genetic modification exists by changing an organismʼs DNA under a genetical engineering responsibility. In order to create new resistant flavored food, genetic modification may be used. However, this contemporary method hasʼt been tested sufficiently. Lack of experiment causes argues all over the world. Not to put environmental health, which is the necessary for all beings, at risk, genetic modification should be banned. " Firstly, letʼs have a look at safety of GM foods. GM foods have more allergens than foods which are grown by traditional methods. A person, because of not knowing which food has allergens, may most probably get sick. In 2003, a group of Russian scientists reported the fact that patients with food allergy had increased three times because of the
GM foods. In addition to allergens, transfer of antibiotic resistance genes is another problematic issue. When GM food is being produced, antibiotic resistance genes is used.
Afterwards, because these genes can transfer to microorganisms which cause disease, controlling of the infections become harder.
" GM foods also affect biodiversity and natural balance. Because all lives are in a big system, minimal changes can affect whole chain of living creatures. If a plant is modified genetically, not only the plant but also organisms which interact with the plant are influenced. Uncontrollable interactions may cause radical variations. Therefore, some species may disappear utterly. In addition to change of genes of organisms which interact
GM plants, surrounding plants are also affected because of gene escape.
" According to supporters, genetic modification enhances nutrients. However, genetic modification causes destruction of genetic diversity. Uniform food may prevent healthy and balanced diet. In contrast to anticipation, GM foods may affect humanʼs diet. Especially the poor cannot reach various foods sufficiently. In addition, people whose purchasing power

    Anaphylaxis is a systemic allergic reaction involving the respiratory and/or the cardiovascular system; it has a rapid onset with the possibility of causing death. However, less severe reaction may be also defined as “anaphylaxis” if there is a high index of suspicion for allergic reaction in the setting of previously diagnosed allergy (Sanchez et al. 1999; Simons et al. 2007; Tang and Liew, 2008). It was observed by Simons (2006) that anaphylaxis is a disease of modern times; sporadic cases report of anaphylaxis were only published in 17th, 18th and 19th centuries and within the past four decades, the rates of allergic diseases have been increasing dramatically. The most common identifiable triggers of anaphylaxis…

    This is the story of how I found out I had a food allergy, and how I still do not know exactly what I am allergic to. I was approaching the snack machine in my local library to purchase a snack that would tide me over until dinner. I came across a very familiar sight: a bag of Cheetos Puffs. I paid the seventy-five cents and got myself this delicious favorite comfort food. I enjoyed every last puff, from its cheesy taste, to its crunch, and even to its dusty residue that it always leaves on my fingers.…

    Allergies have been characterized as a medical disorder for thousands of years, yet it was only in the last hundred years scientists have been able to establish the cause behind them. The term allergy/asthma is a collective term for the diseases: asthma, rhinoconjuctivitis, food allergies, atopic dermatitis, angioedema, urticaria, anaphylaxis, and insect and drug allergies (Holgate & Polosa, 2008). Cases of allergic reactions date all the way back to 3500 BC when Egyptian King Menses reportedly died from a bee sting. In the last 20 years the prevalence of allergies has doubled. Up to 40% of the world’s population has a predilection for developing allergies, while a third show active symptoms. Allergies became a subject of medical interest in the 1800s. In 1819 a physician by the name of John Bostock first coined the term hayfever. In 1872 Morrill Wyman discovered that ragweed was the cause of the then-termed “autumnal catarrh”. The following year Charles Blackley made the discovery that grass pollen was the causative agent of hay fever.…

You eat something, develop gas, or have an unpleasant visit to the bathroom, and assume that it is a food allergy.

Surprised? Most people are when they hear this.…

    Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are one of the most controversial, but important issues in the world. GMOs are organisms where the genetic material has been changed for improving the product quality and producing it faster. GMOs are resistant to disease, they can help humans suffering from famine, and produce more crops.It is not a secret that GMO-ed foods have spread out quickly to the whole world. If the generation of GMOs cannot be stopped, we should know why it is harmful to our health and how we can prevent it.GMOs can cause huge health risks, enormous destruction of the environment,and many are now resistant to pesticides. Finally, to prevent GMOs, they should be labeled and people should recognize how dangerous GMOs are for us.…

    Food allergy is human’s immune system overreacting to certain food substances. The food allergy reaction causes different physical symptoms that occur immediately (less than 2 hours), intermediately (2 to 24 hours), and delayed (more than 24 hours) (Grodner, Roth and Walkingshaw, 2007). Any food can cause an allergic reaction; milk, eggs, peanuts, and wheat are common among children. People won’t have an allergic reaction to a substance to which they have a food allergy unless they intake food that causes their immune system to overreact to the food substance. When people encounter food allergies, symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, asthma, dyspnea, itching, eczema, and other symptoms (Grodner et al., 2013). Bullying is very normal in food allergic children. It is correlative with a lower quality of life and distress in children and their family. Fifty percent of patients do not recognize that bullying cases happen to their children. When parents are aware of the bullying, the child’s quality of life is going to improve. It is important to proactively determine and announce cases in this population (Shemesh al., 2009). There is no report regarding the antecedent about food allergy. People get food allergy reaction when they are exposed to the food source that causes their immune system to overreact to it. There are a great number of children that suffer from food allergy. A study in which eighty-seven families participated revealed that more than sixty percent of the family member stated that the food allergy affected meal preparation, and more than forty-nine percent said that the food allergy affected family social activities. Forty-one of the…
