to hear about a killer seen by all, it still unknow the most.
Is known as genetically modified
organisms or Gmos for short. One 90% of farmers know what gmo is 90% of grocery shoppers
are blind to their existence in their food
Genetically modified foods or GM foods, also known as genetically engineered
foods or bioengineered foods, are foods produced from organisms that have had changes
introduced into their DNA using the methods of genetic engineering. Genetic engineering
techniques allow for the introduction of new traits as well as greater control over traits than
previous methods such as selective breeding and mutation breeding.[1]
A gmo is an organism whose genetic code has been altered using genetic engineering,
scientists say it is a revolutionary idea yet they refuse to label the food items that are
genetically modified.
One of the causes of their popular use and production is the decrement in resources availability,
especially economic resources that has conducted many researches to seek a cheaper
production of foods. That is why, the man has reached to modify organisms by genetic
techniques that permit to insert a gene from an external source into other different species
Every year the average people eat more than their body weight in genetically modified stuffs.
This is not surprising because nearly an 85% of corn and soy are genetically modified. Corn and
soy is found in just about everything we eat.
Many of you may be asking yourself at this point why does this is matter to me?
This revolutionary idea became a reality in 1994, upon their arrival on our dinner plates they
have been linked to health problems such as alteration on metabolism, kidney failure and
reduced fertility.
there are a multitude of credible scientific studies that clearly demonstrate why GM foods
should not be consumed. According to Genetically modified organisms’ expert Jeffrey Smith,
animal studies are showing organ damage, gastrointestinal and immune system disorders,
accelerated aging and infertility.
In one study of Russian biologist by the name of Alexey V. Surov fed four groups all genetically
linked varying diets
The first group was fed with high amounts of genetically modified soy, the second group was
moderate fed with genetically modified soy, third group with non genetically modified soy and
the fourth with no soy
His studies showed that by the third generation of offspring from the first group of hamsters
were becoming infertile or giving birth to hamsters with birth defects.
When we see these results in another species imagine what its doing to our bodies
Allergens
Genetic engineering could potential introduce or create allergens
For example, inserting genes from a nut into another plant could be dangerous for people who
are allergic to nuts
Unknown health risks
Biological processes involve a lot of INTERACTIONS
It is often difficult to identify every possible interaction
Our environment provides everything we need to survive; as we increase the amount of
genetically modified crops we are taking away the purity of our earth and what it provides
GMOs cause harm to other species that we rely on such as bees. The genetic modification also
offers the pants pollen which can be potentially harmful to the bees
Honey bees are responsible of most of the pollination around the world. When pollen becomes
genetically modified the bees potentially go malnourished and die of illness due to the lack of
nutrients, as bees collect the pollen the disgestive tract becomes disease such as amoeba and
Nosema disease and if these bees die, the most of our crops could die too
