The Price of Genetic Modified Organisms
GMO or genetic
modified organisms are genetically modified organisms that have had new genes
from other organisms added to their existing genes. Since year 1935, Russian
scientist Andrei Nikolaevitch Belozersky isolates pure DNA. Until it was
approved in the year 1982 in which products that are successfully genetically
modified were able to appear in various groceries. However, until now
scientists are still on experimenting this kind of research that in the present
time they were able to maximize its contributions and counteracts in to the
state of future causes and effects to the environment and to people by means of
genetically modifying organisms.
People probably
unaware that the food has been genetically altered because no requirement
exists that requires food to be labeled as genetically modified. Eating
genetically modified foods may have negative effects on your overall health and
on the environment. One of this is Environmental ramifications, it may also can
affect the lives of different insects that are depending their food into crops
and other types of plants; and critics claim that GMOs can cause particular
disease or illnesses.
On
the other side, majority pose some advantages and good effects of genetically
modifying organisms. Some may agree that GMO or genetically modifying organisms
can somehow contribute to the environment by the significance of the increased
farm yields while decreasing pesticide use and soil erosion. The idea is that
because GM crops are engineered to produce insecticides in their tissues or to
be immune to particular herbicides, they reduce the man-hours, fuel, and
chemical inputs in farming, even while reducing losses to pests and weather.
Another is that majority also added that GMO is not actually can harm the
health of people in fact it is safe to eat.
For
environmental ramifications, genetically modified foods may have negative side
effects on the environment. Genetically modified crops are often sprayed with
powerful pesticides and herbicides, and are fertilized with chemical
fertilizers. These chemicals then contaminate the environment by traveling
through the air; they leach into the ground, where they end up in fresh-water
sources. Weeds have begun to develop a resistance to some of these chemicals
which means that in the future, it will be more difficult to control noxious
plants. Wind also carries the pollen from genetically engineered crops to
neighboring farm fields where seed stock is then cross-contaminated with
genetically modified pollen. Over time, this leads to a reduction in the
biodiversity of crop strains. Insect populations may also be harmed by
genetically modified crops that produce pesticides.
Majority may say
that GMO safely can be eaten. According to but the fact that some GMO foods have had antibiotic features
built into them to make them immune or resistant to diseases or viruses,
according to Iowa State University. When you eat them, these antibiotic markers
persist in your body and can make actual antibiotic medications less effective.
The university warns that such ingestion of GMO foods and regular exposure to
antibiotics may be contributing to the decreased effectiveness of antibiotic
drugs that is being noticed in hospitals around the world. In addition,
genetically modified foods may also reach the stage of having a allergies.
According to Colbert (2016), Food allergies are a growing problem in the United
States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), food
allergies in children under 18 years of age have increased; from 3.4 percent
between 1997 and 1999 to 5.1 percent between 2009 and 2011.
Some people believe that spike is linked to GM
foods. But there’s no evidence that GM foods in general are more likely to
trigger allergic reactions than non-GM foods, reports Charles Xu from Harvard
University. Others raise concerns about the transfer of specific proteins from
one plant to another in genetic engineering. Proteins found in a relatively
small number of foods cause most allergic reactions. Tree nuts are one of the
most common triggers. In the mid-1990s, researchers examined a strain of GM
soybean that was engineered to contain protein from Brazil nuts. According to
their report in the New England Journal of Medicine, the soybeans triggered
allergic reactions in people with Brazil nut allergy. Those soybeans never
entered the market and aren’t sold to consumers.
Genetically
modifying organisms must be stop for there is more bad effect than its good
effect. People especially scientist must know the limits of their own intelligence.
If smart a person tend be blind has nothing but a trash of the brain and by
itself they can't visual it's common sense of every consequence.
