GMO foods good or bad

GMO Foods Good or Bad?
Abstract
This paper reviews the beneficial and harmful aspects to Genetically Modified Food that certain corporations are experimenting, producing, and selling. The results of each of these topics will be looked over and explained to an extent.

Introduction
Genetically modified foods are crop plants created for human or animal’s to consume. Special crops have been experimented with in laboratories by scientist to make these plants more nutritional and less vulnerable to diseases or insects. A purpose of these GMO’s is to be able to sustain life in the coming years because eventually the population of the world will reach a point in which food will become limited to those who need it.
Acknowledgments
I would like to thank Professor Zhan Yang for taking the time to inform, teach, help, instruct, care, and to make me more appreciative for biology and more concerned about what is being put into our body’s every day.

Body of my paper
What are the good benefits to these crops? Well they have the ability to withstand cold temperatures, instead of dying due to frost. Countless crops are destroyed yearly because they don’t have certain chemicals sprayed onto the crops to prevent insects or other creatures from destroying them. GMO crops are able to endure strong herbicide without them being destroyed. this can be useful for destroying unwanted plants like weeds. There are biologist who are experimenting with plants to make them resistant to plant diseases like bacteria and fungus this would result in less loss of produce. The world is limited to so much space and every day there is less room for farming so GMO crops are modified to be able to grow in places that are usually unable. These crops will be more nutritional, there is a lack of vitamins in certain countries such as Africa where they only eat one type of food, and this will result in lack of vitamins which can lead to health issues. There are researchers attempting to inject medicine and vaccines into specific foods to lower the cost of these desired Pharmaceutical needs.
What can be the downfall to these types of food? Well the consequence of eating them is unknown. GMO foods have not been proven healthy or to be a safe method of eating nutrients. There is possibly something in them that many people are allergic to, and if a portion of our daily food is genetically modified then the result could be a large amount of people becoming seriously ill. The fact that genetically modified food is not labelled shows that the people making these nourishments doesn’t want anyone to know exactly what is being injected into our daily food, and the only information that we know about genetically modified food has been twisted or hasn’t all been told.
My opinion of GM foods is for them and against them. I believe that in 40-60 years that population of the world will increase significantly, and the outcome of this would mean less land to produce crops, the land would be used for cities and towns for humanity. The ability for GMO foods to be produced faster than organic food would be the best way to sustain food on this planet before we turn to cannibalism. Although if we begin eating these types of foods, because we don’t know if it is harmful to our body then it is possible that we will all (or at least people who eat it) die from a virus or diseases that it creates, which leads to wonder if the companies making these “foods” are also making an antivirus to sell to everyone after become sick from it.
There are many health issues that arise with the thought of eating genetically modified food, researchers have done experiments testing the food on rats, and the results being that the rats had developed mammary tumors in their bodies. The chance of developing a tumor or cancer from just eating a carrot is not worth it in my opinion. Cancer isn’t the only serious sickness that can come from it, A study has been done by feeding cows genetically modified soybeans, eventually the milk that the cows had been producing have a very high content of fat, large populations of the world would become over weight. Not only is an increase of fat but it’s possible that the milk coming from cows is the cause for infants to have an allergic reaction, the percentage of children who are allergic to milk is very small and they eventually outgrow it but it may not only cause allergic reactions through milk, but the way GMO produce is made by the transfer of one organisms gene to another. This could cause an increase of allergic reactions, if we don’t know what is being put into our food, then the risk of having a reaction is fairly high. It is possible that if a certain gene is transferred from a harmful organism, then it could affect your brain in a way of causing a mental illness or even retardation.
Conclusion
My conclusion for this paper is that genetically modified food is harmful to humanity. We don’t know what is being put into produce that is being put on the shelves of supermarkets and stores. Companies aren’t telling us what it is, so there must be something unhealthy being put into the food. God created everything in the world then declared it good. To change the genetics of Gods creations would imply that we are not content with what God has given us.
