Genetically modified foods have shaped and formed many debates on whether foods should or should not be genetically modified and there are many reasons as to why. Genetically modified foods are foods that are compromised of organisms which have been genetically altered. There are several reasons being affirmative on genetically modified foods‚ such as supporting the occurrence of diseases and they are said to be faster in growth. However there is a negative side on genetically modified foods. Genetically

Nowadays a problem of genetically modified food is widespread all over the world. People worry about their health and the health of descendants‚ because GM is considered to be very harmful. Along with disadvantages there are advantages‚ too. Like humans‚ all organisms have genetic material. When scientists alter genetic material‚ or DNA‚ it’s called genetic modification (GM). Genetically modifying foods or food crops can enhance taste and quality‚ increase nutrients or improve resistance to pests

What is a GMO? A genetically modified organism ( GMO ) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. Organisms that have been genetically modified include microorganisms such as bacteria and yeast‚ insects‚ plants‚ fish‚ and mammals. GMOs are the source of genetically modified foods ‚ and are also widely used in scientific research and to produce goods other than food. The term GMO is very close to the

issue of genetically modified foods‚ commonly known as GM’s‚ has only gained the attention of millions‚ since it became a prominent and highly debated global issue. Genetically modified foods are created when the genes of an organism are engineered and modified to create a new or enhanced version of that organism. The process of using different genes from different sources to genetically modify foods led to public outcry and sometimes‚ praise. People in support of genetically modified foods claims
