A genetically modified food or GM food product is defined as “meat and edible plants modified through genetic engineering” (Genetically Modified (GM) Foods‚ 2015). Furthermore‚ human beings have engaged in the process of genetically modifying plants and animals‚ with selective breeding practices within identical species‚ “since the beginning of civilization” (Genetically Modified (GM) Foods‚ 2015). However‚ current methods of genetic modification can cross species boundaries‚ which require suppressive

They were a chemical company‚ which shifted into the new life science area developing numerous patents related to genetic techniques and GM seeds variety. The company entered in the agrobiochemical industry‚ which is in its growth life cycle based on continuous product improvements and replacement by superior traits. The industry is focused on chemical products used in agriculture and genetically modified crops. There are rivals in

Many people consume engineered foods; particularly the North America and China. GMFs (Genetically Modified Food) have faced strong opposition. The anti-GMFs argue that modification of original organism composition does not improve the current status of the organisms. However‚ it generates dangerous side effects and yields toxic substances that could result in allergies‚ stomach problems‚ diseases and economic and environmental fears. People concern on the safety of food became pronounced before the

Genetically Modified Organisms and the Hungry World For hundreds of years‚ humans have selectively bred and crossbred animals and plants to create or eliminate specific characteristics to produce a wider range of crops‚ animals and livestock. Genetic technology has become very common in our world today. Therefore‚ the possibility of altering plants and specifically crops for food supply raises many ethical and possible health issues which need to be explored. For example‚ the technical aspects

Genetic Modified food: Benefit or Detriment? The most wonderful activity a human being can experience is new flavors and foods. For example‚ the first time a person tastes a delicious juicy piece of prime rib or a delightful hamburger with cheese and ham‚ his world is never the same. However‚ since the beginning of the twentieth century‚ the production of food has been supplemented by science. This has triggered an angry dispute between the people who support the advances of biotechnology and

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

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
