Nowadays, many people are often surprised by the amount of nutrition and health information needed by humans. The constant stream of genetic modifications to foods can be confusing. Genetically modified foods (GMOs) are plants and animals whose genetic makeup has been artificially altered by scientists to make them grow faster, taste better, last longer, and provide more nutrients. Scientists carry out these alternations by transferring genes from one organism to another in order to change the condition or character of the receiving organism. This process is known as biotechnology or genetic engineering (GE) and it has revolutionized the way agriculture is practiced in many parts of the world. Researchers are now able to use genetically modified technology to create “better” versions of milk, tomatoes, corn, soy, and other food products that humans have consumed for centuries. Supporters of genetically modified (GMO) foods say they have many benefits. achieve profits. They claim that genetically modified seeds provide economic relief to farmers by increasing crop yields and reducing pest expenses. Supporters also say the technology has significant benefits for consumers, including reduced food costs, more nutritious foods, and reduced exposure to disease. GM technology could improve the health of hundreds of millions of people around the world. They point out that scientists have already made genetically modified rice, wheat, fruits and other foods that are more nutritious than traditionally grown foods. GMO expert Peter Pringle notes that researchers have even developed genetically modified soy that elevates omega-3 acids in the blood. Found naturally in salmon, trout and fresh tuna. These fatty acids are known to protect against new...... middle of paper...... fertilizers, herbicides and insecticides, they are less likely to be contaminated with these chemicals near rivers and lakes. Reduced use of agricultural chemicals also means reduced levels of pesticide residues on nearby plants and trees that wild creatures depend on for survival. China developed a genetically modified version of cotton that exuded a natural insecticide in which the use of pesticides on the domestic cotton crop decreased by 80 percent. Genetically modified foods are here to stay. Given this reality, perhaps the best approach is to ensure that this amazing technology is used safely and wisely for years to come. Like any tool, genetically modified foods can be manipulated by a multitude of social, economic and political forces to generate positive or negative outcomes. The question is not whether we should use it, but how we should use it responsibly..
