Risks of GMF
Higher chemicals can mean food which should not be eaten
What is GMF/GMO
A genetically modified organism (GMO) or genetically modified food (GMF) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered...
The benefits of GMO/GMF
- farmers who adopt GM crops make more money in tougher times
- They result from fungal activity in insect-infested corn crops. With fewer insect holes in plant tissue, associated fungi are not able to invade and produce toxins.
Do you want these chemicals in your stomach?
Weeds
Many self pollinating crops such as weeds merit greater concern.
Strawberrys
Particularly gene flow into other species have eclipsed food safety as a primary concern.
Tomatoes
Danforth center president Roger Beachy, the first to develop a virus-resistant tomato. However, it could creat more sickness because of all the chemicals used.
Is it worth the risk?
Genetic effect on Humans
There is no way to tell if genetically modified foods can have an effect on the genetics of people. At first it was believed by scientists and researchers that the modified genes were destroyed during the digestion process, but recently modified food genes have been found in the brains of some infant mice. This can be very dangerous in infants and children, and poses unknown risks for anyone who eats these foods.
