What are the GMO Risks?

The greatest threat posed by food containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is the possible harmful effects on the human body. There are concerns that the consumption of these genetically modified foods will lead to the development of immune diseases against antibiotics.

What are the GMO Risks?

In addition, GMO technology is a fairly new technology and there is not yet a full knowledge of its long-term effects on humans. Today, for these reasons, many people prefer to stay away from these foods due to health concerns. On the other hand, manufacturers do not mention that foods contain genetically modified organisms on their labels, because they are worried about a decrease in demand in this case.r. However, this is not ethical at all.

Many religious and cultural communities today are against such food because they see it as an unnatural way of producing food. Many people are uncomfortable with the idea of ​​transferring animal genes to plants or transferring plant genes to animals. Also, this cross-pollination method is thought to harm other organisms that thrive in the environment.

According to experts, with the increase of genetically modified foods, developing countries will begin to depend more on industrialized countries, because it is thought that food production will be controlled by developed countries in the future.

Briefly, genetic modification is a special gene technology that changes the genetic system of animals, plants or microorganisms. Combining genes from different organisms is known as recombinant DNA technology. The resulting organism is called a genetically modified or transgenic organism.

With regard to this new technology in the form of gene manipulation, many questions remain unclear, such as what are the risks of playing with the laws of nature, what impact it will have on the environment, what health issues consumers should be aware of, and whether recombinant technology is really beneficial.

Concerning GM foods, there are various levels of debate, such as whether the food produced is safe and labeled, whether agricultural biotechnology is necessary to alleviate world hunger, the environmental impact of GM crops, and the role of GM crops in industrial agriculture in general.

Our organization acts with a sense of responsibility in order to be with people who consciously care about their health and to help them choose the foodstuffs they will need, and tries to support manufacturers to prove their efforts in this direction.
