GM Foods and Medicine Summery The article by Amin‚ Jahi and Nor was conducted in Malaysia to find out the stakeholders attitude to genetically modified foods and medicine (1). In particular‚ the investigators were interested to know the attitude towards GM insulin/medicine‚ GM palm oil and GM soybean. They designed the study as a survey with 1017 respondents. They found that the Malaysian stakeholders are cautious about the genetically modified foods. They agreed that genetically modified foods

English Salon‚ a weekly seminar series sponsored by the YWCA Language School in Nagoya‚ Japan. My topic was genetically modified (GM) food and my stance was distinctly supportive. (Don’t start throwing the rotten tomatoes now!) Despite my hour-and-a-half long presentation‚ I was unable to convince most of the audience that GM foods were safe to eat and had many environmental benefits as well. GM food seems relatively benign if it’s the result of cross-breeding two organisms of the same species‚ such as

Introduction: In recent years‚ giant transnational companies are carrying out a dangerous global experiment by introducing large numbers of genetically engineered foods into our diet. It has since been a subject of immense debate as to whether genetic engineering is harmful or helpful. Genetically Modified (GM) food is produced when the genetic makeup of a crop is altered to produce a crop with a desirable trait. It is produced via the gene technology whereby the gene of interest is spliced into

Draft) Genetically Engineered Food Should people be worried about genetically engineered/modified food? Many people are starting to question what it is exactly that they are eating and how it could possibly harm them. Specifically‚ the harm that could befall them from GM food. A genetically modified organism is something that received one or more genes from another organism. There are three arguments that the people worried about GM food put on the table; those arguments being: GM food should

The Negative Consequences of Genetically Modified Food Genetically modified foods (GM foods‚ or biotech foods) are hazardous to your health. These foods are derived from genetically modified organisms (GMOs)‚ specifically‚ genetically modified crops. GMOs have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. Genetically modified organisms‚ or GMOs‚ are created when a gene from one species is transferred to another‚ creating something that would not be found in

Are genetically modified foods safe to eat? Nowadays‚ genetically modified crops are planted worldwide. According to Human Genome Project‚ over 10 million farmers in 22 countries are planting genetically modified crops on the fields. The total acreage has reached a quarter billion (2011). Apparently‚ genetically modified foods have prominent benefits so that more and more people are planting them and eating them. Genetically modified plants are able to resist pests and certain kinds of diseases

After months‚ Kevin’s bill‚ a proposal initiated by Kevin’s mom to label Genetically-Modified Food (GMO)‚ was rejected. Even with lots of effort of people to make certain it pass and despite of the strong reasons stated‚ the Congress still vetoed it.

Ever since the 1970s‚ genetically modified food have been rising in North America and even a couple of European countries. In the 1980 ’s Biotechnology companies began field-testing GMO (genetically modified organism) crops for large-scale agricultural use. By 1996‚ GMO grains were mixed with non-GMO grains and sent to food processing plants all over America. One of the first organisms to be genetically modified and sold in store shelves is the tomato because scientist found out a way to make it
