Arguments Against Gmos

GMOs can cause environmental damage and health problems for consumers. Anti-GMO organization Center for Food Safety said genetic engineering of plants and animals is, potentially. Lallanilla refers to GMO crops as “Frankenfoods.” The long-term effect of GMOs still remains unknown. They have been linked to toxic allergic reactions, sick, sterile and dead livestock, and damage to virtually every organ studied in lab animals.

There have been numerous health problems after GMOs we introduced in the late 1990s. People who consistently eat foods that have been genetically modified ingest glyphosate in high concentrations. Since glyphosate causes chemical alterations that interfere with certain processes, it has possible chances of causing serious diseases such as; Autism, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. There are many plants that produce substances that are toxic to humans. But the level of toxins that are in the plant are low to where it does not ham the person who consumes it. Which means that there can be anything in them hat can harm us and makes us sick without us knowing. There is evidence that shows that GMOs have caused harm in humans, that some of the diseases that are caused is also found in animals. Many GM fans will point out that if we do toxicity tests on genetically modified foods, we should also have to do toxicity testing on every other kind of food in the world. But it has already started from the time we have been growing our own vegetation without changing its DNA. There is plenty of scientific evidence to recommend caution with respect to certain kinds of genetic modification, especially if there are genes involved that confer antibiotic

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

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

FDA scientists have said on numerous occasions GMOs can cause unpredictable side effects such as allergies, toxins, new diseases, and nutritional problems. Sometimes just putting the new gene in the plant can change it which could lead to triggering allergies or promote disease. GMOs are unpredictable when it comes to the health problems they might cause. There are no test that say GMOs won’t cause allergies, so it’s recommended to test for certain GMO foods.

GMO’s contain inherent health risks such as digestion issues, increased allergic reactions, and infertility. This should

Should people be worried about genetically engineered 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 be labeled, GM foods are not safe to eat, and GM crops won’t end world hunger and feed the whole world.

Undoubtedly, GMOś are unhealthy and are bad for our health. The farmers contaminate their crops with pesticides and many more harmful substance.

Is demanding a bill to pass, on the labeling of GMOs, an adequate, or a poor decision? First, before answering such question, we must look at both sides of the controversy. The side of people for the laws, argue that it would be an advantage for shopper, for they would be able to know if their food has been created with genetically modified organisms. However, the people against the labeling of genetically modified foods, stand for the point that there has never been an issue, and argue that this big uproar, is nothing but irrelevant.

Although no studies can prove that GMOs are harmful to humans, many can prove the dangers of using pesticides with crops. Justin Tolley, a crop advisor for Crop Production Services, isn’t afraid of consuming GMOs in foods because they don’t contain the harsh chemicals that can harm humans. Pesticides and herbicides contain chemicals that are poisonous to the human body, as well as the environment and its wildlife. By switching from foods treated with pesticides to GMOs, the chemical intake would decrease dramatically. Along with the lack of chemicals, genetically modified foods can have increased amounts of nutrients and minerals in comparison to standard foods. Scientists have created a grain to aid the issue of A vitamin deficiencies in poorer countries (Chien). Modified foods can also replace supplement pills; the dosage would also be controlled because it would be based on how much food one ate instead of the premeasured dosage of supplements. Risks for allergies could also be eliminated using GMOs. “Scientists have identified a new gene in peanuts that codes for a protein with no apparent allergic effects” (Agricultural Biotechnology Council). Peanut and nut allergies are a very common issue and even pose the risk of death for some people. Getting rid of gene codes that trigger allergies for nuts and other foods would reduce health and possible death risks in humans; overall the health of all humans could

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are living organism that have went through a process of having their genetic material modified by inserting a foreign gene into them (GMO Facts). The plant having the modifications done then absorbs the gene and it goes into immediate effect and begins to perform as expected. This process was done to benefit us humans greatly and resolve world issues, but it has been discovered to have negative effects on us humans and the environment. With much research done throughout many years it led to the first trans generic plant being developed in 1983 (qtd. In Kelminsky, Peeling, and Gani). This plant was a tobacco plant that was resistant to anti-biotic (qtd. In Kelminsky,

When it comes to the topic of whether Genetic Modified Organisms (GMOs) are hazardous products for human consumption, some of us will readily agree that GMOs have become an issue since people believe they are a risk to their health. Where this argument usually ends, however, is on the question of are GMOs a risk to our health and if so why are they still out in the market. Whereas some are convinced that GMOs are not a potential risk to our health and they are an improvement to the production of crops, others maintain that GMOs are unsafe and are the cause for several diseases. I agree that GMOs are safe for human consumption because we have been using GMOs for the last twenty years and there is no proof of them being a hazard to humans. Since the day we started using GMOs there has been an improvement on the production of crops and

GMO’s are extremely unhealthy for humans to intake. Studies have shown that numerous health problems increased after GMOS were introduced in 1996. Smith states, “The percentage of Americans with

Genetically modified organisms seems to be a topic that stirs up quite a bit of controversy. Although there are convincing and persuading arguments for both sides, the side that seems to be more dominant is the argument for genetically modified food. In many cases they have been found to be helpful, allow the organism to last longer, and become an improved version of the original organism that it started from.

The farming industry is always growing and GMO foods are just one more step to a better more advanced world. Genetically modified foods are fruits and vegetables that take genes from one produce and put it to another. It combines the DNA from both products to have the qualities from one another such as the looks or the taste.GMO foods cause almost no negative effect on the people who consume the foods it actually helps. That is why its used in third world countries who consume the famous Golden Rice to take in more vitamins. Therefore genetically modified foods should be allowed because it brings many benefits to the scientific world when it comes down to the gene extract and can be used in the future to reproduce produce
