Genetically Engineered Foods Genetically Modified Crops
944 wordsJUST as 130 nations were meeting in Montreal recently to forge the first global treaty regulating genetically modified crops, Frito-Lay Inc. was telling its farmers in the United States not to grow genetically engineered corn for use in Doritos chips and other snacks. The problem, the company said, was not a risk to health from the corn but a risk that consumers wouldn't want it. These two events reflect the unease with which genetically engineered foods have been received. Science has reached w...

Genetically Engineered Foods Genetically Modified
743 wordster> GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOODS- RISK TO HUMANITY Giant transnational companies are carrying out a dangerous global experiment by introducing large numbers of genetically engineered foods into our diet. Genetic manipulations can result in unanticipated harmful effects, and because genetically engineered foods are not tested sufficiently, this experiment not only jeopardizes the health of individuals, but could also lead to global food shortages and extensive ecological hazards. Due t...

The Dangers Of Genetically Modified Foods
1,625 wordsThe Dangers of genetically modified foods Abstract- Genetically modified foods in food production are a matter of major controversy and catching the attention of much media exposure. Huge international companies are involved in risky global experiment to introduce outside numbers of genetically engineered foods broadly into markets food supply. Genetically modified foods trigger many issues in the area of scientific, technological, environmental, social, ethical, economic, and political among so...

The Danger Of Genetically Engineered Plants
1,899 wordsThe Danger of Genetically Engineered Plants Genetically modified crops are appearing on the farms of the United States more and more everyday, even though consumers may not know it. However, the good news is that these crops are planted because of their benefits to people. For example, according to the American Medical Association (AMA), More than 40 transgenic crop varieties have been cleared through the federal review process with enhanced agronomic and / or nutritional characteristics or one ...

Genetically Engineered Foods Genetically Modified Organisms
1,333 wordsDon t Mess With My Food! Technology has been in full swing for years, but only recently have some of these developments been placed in front of us at the dinner table. The genetic engineering of food is a hot topic; that with each meal, there is the possibility that we are putting genetically modified organisms (GMO) in our mouths. These toys of technology may make the apples look bigger and juicier, but who is to say that these science experiments will not have long-term hazardous effects? Ther...

1,719 wordsEffects of Genetic Engineering on Agriculture By: Nic The Effects of Genetic Engineering on Agriculture Agri biotechnology is the study of making altered agricultural products. Agribusiness is trying to alter the genes of already existing products to try to enhance the bio competitiveness and adaptability of crops by enhancing plant resistance to drought, salinity, disease, pests and herbicides. They are going to try to enhance their growth, productivity, nutrient value, and chemical composition...

1,952 wordsIntroduction The use of genetically engineering in agriculture and food production has an impact, not only on the environment and biodiversity, but also on human health. Therefore, thorough biosafety assessment requires, not only an evaluation of environmental impacts of genetically engineered organisms, but also an assessment of the risks that genetically engineered food pose for the health of consumers. Let us take deeper look at some of the aspects related to genetically engineered foods. Wha...
