Gmos Are Not Safe To Eat

As said before, GMOs are genetically modified organisms, and can be dangerous, so experts say. They say that the GMO process causes diseases such as cancer or diabetes, and some also say that GM foods can cause allergic reactions. They are saying this because, as they have discovered, some companies have mixed protein from nuts and inserted into beans, which can be harmful

Others argue, such as Dr. Patricia Zambryski, a professor in plant and microbial biology, that ''Gmos are not perfect, but they're not harmful to use. Everything must be balanced.'' They also raise up the points that GMOs saved 'x'. Say for instance, the papaya 'vaccine'. Yes, GMOs do have positive factors, and upbrings. Despite this, we shouldn't just overlook and overrule the negative effects then proceed to sweep them underneath the rug. Not to mention, if they aren't perfect, then how can we guarantee safety? There are no guarantees that a GMO will not cause allergies. As the source from IRT states, “No tests can guarantee that a GMO will not cause allergies. Although the World Health Organization recommends a screen protocol, {19}, the GM soy, corn, and papaya in our food supply fail those tests-because their GM proteins have properties of known

Professor Richard Lewotin said “An ecosystem, you can always intervene and change something in it, but there is no way of knowing what all the downstream effects will be or how it will affect the environment.” Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are not healthy and they shouldn’t be put in our food. Our nation does not know the full extent of GMOs. GMOs are used in almost all of our food, and for the most part there are no regulations for these GMOs that food companies are using now a days. They have been used for years without telling us the full background and side effects they could have. As a nation we need to take the right step in learning the facts about them and making our food truly healthy. GMOs should be made illegal due to the fact that studies have shown them to be unsafe and harmful to consume.

Many will argue that Genetically Modified Organisms(GMOs) are not safe for human consumption, however they are almost inevitable for our everyday food consumption. Some argue that the recent increase in gluten intolerance is caused by GMO foods (Argument against). Other state that the risk to humans by GMO’s is relatively small (The GMO”). The bottom line is what people put into their bodies is a personal choice and a person should be able to easily tell if a product has been genetically modified or not.

Genetically Modified food is food enhanced with genes to make the appearance and flavor change the substance. For many Genetically Modified foods have no risk to our bodies or the public, however they do not know that GM foods are not safe to eat. Genetically Modified food is not safe to eat in light of the fact that it contains allergens and toxins, causes body to resist antibiotics, it’s less nutritious, and causes health problems.

Ancient Egypt was a complex civilization because it shows all the seven indicators. The seven indicators are well-organized government, complex religion, social classes, specialized skills and jobs, long-distance trade, and method of keeping records. When the Egyptians started to farm, the population when up and the seven indicators began to be much more visible. The first indicator is Well-Organized Government.

A strong reason as to why people should stop eating genetically modified foods is because they have never been tested. The people testing the foods are the same people as the everyday consumer buying a pack of Doritos® at 7-Eleven® without knowing what may happen. GMOs have unknown possibilities this means anything can happen to the consumer. A credible author writes, “Foreign genetic material in a host can cause other genetic material in that host to behave erratically. Genes can be suppressed or overexpressed, causing a wide variety of results. One consequence of overexpression, for example, can be cancer.” (care2.com) CANCER. Is food

Eating foods with GMOs should be avoided because have inadvertent ramifications. As the article “Food at the Frontline” states “GMOs actually increase the toxification of our food system, even while claiming to be an alternative to chemicals… there are herbicide-resistant crops and BT-toxin crops.”.This shows by eating foods with GMOs, the

According to Jeffrey Smith, this process can cause the organisms to have unknown effects such as toxins, diseases, and nutritional problems (2006). Along with that, the health risks from consuming products containing GMOs are enough to turn people away. According to the American Academy of Environmental Science, “several animal studies indicate serious health risks associated with GM food consumption including infertility, immune dysregulation, accelerated aging, dysregulation of genes associated with cholesterol synthesis, insulin regulation, cell signaling, and protein formation, and changes in the liver, kidney, spleen, and gastrointestinal system”(2009). Finding out that GMOs caused all of these issues to animals, people will start to question the safety of the GM food products. This alone can scare the consumers and discourage them from purchasing products containing GMOs. However, that may no longer be a choice

Let us first factually understand what this means. GMO stands for “genetically modified organisms”. According to the World Health Organisation genetically modified organisms can be defined as “organisms in which genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination”. This means that a genetically modified or GM crop can contain a gene that has been artificially inserted instead of the plant acquiring it through pollination.” So, not naturally occurring, based on science! Is this where the paranoia, fear based claims against GMO food has come from? The media often interprets GMO foods to be bad. There are many weird and unbelievable conspiracies around GMO foods, such as the common name ‘frankenfood’ or the statement that says that companies modify corn with scorpion DNA in order to make our cereals crispier. It is believed by anti-GMO organisations that GMO food is toxic and can lead to many abnormalities such as damaged

I’m not the first person to say this, and I’m sure I won’t be the last. We don’t know if a few years down the road, something could go wrong with the GMOs. There’s a possibility for them to mutate, or for your bodies to develop new bacteria’s that could depend on the GMOs. And once removed from our body, there could be some major issues. This is all hypothetical of course, and maybe not realistic. It’s just my mind throwing random ideas and “What If” situations. But if you think about it, it could happen. I’m sure that I’m not the only one thinking these things, and I know I’m not the only one concerned about my health. If people want to consume GMOs, then that’s their business. But we all have the right to know what’s going into our bodies.

GMOs are not widely popular as they are not natural, their name itself implies it, so the rise of organic trends has risen to pacify the people afraid of consuming GMOs. In my honest opinion, I do not have any issue consuming foods with GMOs as there isn’t any clear evidence directly linking GMOs to diseases in humans. (Arnarson, 2015) In fact, believe they have been highly helpful in many aspects, they are highly resistant to bugs, this also reduces the need to use pesticide in crops, and other natural situations that would otherwise destroy a crop, this prevents the loss of food and provides a constant yield of products. More constant crops make for cheaper food, since there is less loss of food, the needed cost to cover expenses can be distributed among a greater

Food allergies have skyrocketed, disorders such as autism and diseases in our reproductive and digestive are also clearly evident. It's been confirmed that GMOs are a contributing factor to all these illnesses. Why continue eating foods with chemicals injected into them, when we have the availability as well as the opportunity to enjoy and eat organic fresh produces that’s packed with both flavours and nutrients. Did you know that, GM crops can harm birds, insects, soil organisms, and marine ecosystems; This might not seem like a BIG DEAL to us at the start, but in reality, it should be: interrupting the niche of a single organism DEMOLISHES the whole food chain, this means; that it will be OUR children, that will have to pay the price for what WE have all created during our generation.

GMOs are potentially dangerous and there is little known about the effects on consumption in humans. However, there have been some significant studies on animals and the effects of GMOs. The results show a variety of conditions ranging from stomach inflammation, to tumors, or even death. There are no laws regarding labeling what food products have GMO ingredients in them, even though there have been numerous attempts to have this become required by the FDA. The only way of knowing if your food is genetically modified is by looking at the label and searching for “Non-GMO”.

Genetically modified foods, otherwise known as GM foods, have been the source of enormous controversy for the past several decades. Both sides of the debate for and against GM foods bring empirical evidence to the table in an effort to disqualify the opposition, and it is clear that much is a stake for the companies and people involved. But what does this mean for the average consumer? When the politics are shunted aside, people still want to know if what they’re eating is safe, and good for (or at least neutral to) our environment. In this essay, I will attempt to shed light on these questions with hard facts and separate the political fictions from truth. To do so, I will first explain what
