Genetically modified food You are what you eat‚ and eating genetically modified food can harm your body. We are now living in an era where we tend to change everything to make it “better”‚ but eating genetically mutated food is not always the best option for everyone. Injecting hormones to the food that you eat everyday is bad for you because it affects 3 main aspects; health‚ environmental and economic. First of all I’ll start by informing you what genetically modified food really is. Genetically

The term GM (genetically modified) food has gained controversy in the last few years‚ but in the first place we have to understand what GM food is and how it works‚ the term GM foods or GMOs (genetically-modified organisms) is used when we refer to crop plants using different molecular biology techniques or methods to change their properties‚ such as to enhance their resistance to herbicides‚ improve nutritional content‚ and other properties. This seems great‚ but why there are people who disapprove

What are bioengineered foods? Bioengineered foods are plants created for human and animal consumption using the latest molecular biology techniques. Bioengineered foods have been enhanced in a laboratory to desire traits like‚ resistance to herbicides and improved nutrition. By bioengineering foods you can create plants with the desired trait very rapidly. The advantages of bioengineered foods is that they are pest resistances‚ disease resistance‚ able to with stand cold weather‚ drought tolerance

What are genetically modified foods? ‘The aim of today’s gene technologist is to introduce‚ enhance or delete particular characteristics of a living thing‚ depending on whether they are considered desirable or not’ (Healy‚ 2000‚ p. 1). An example of this is genetically modified food whereby scientists take good qualities of one organism‚ and place that gene into another organism. Genetically modified foods is when certain foods are enhanced scientifically for various reasons‚ whether that is to

Why this issue is important Evidence shows that food that has been genetically modified is a danger to the health of humans. The American Academy of Environmental Medicine says that the public should not eat genetically modified foods because several studies have shown that there are a variety of health
