Genetically Modified (GM) Crops are Harmful to Your Health .


Genetically modified products, particularly maize, to date, very popular around the world. But in addition to its popularity, it is known disagreements about its harm. Some scientists believe that the modified corn may be used freely, and that human consumption of this product will not bring any harm.

First commercial use of genetically modified plants was started in 1996 - since the amount of agricultural land and grow a "modified" corn, soybeans, cotton increased by 25 times.

But there is another view. After holding a number of different examinations was deduced that the modified corn had a negative impact on terrestrial and aquatic organisms. Initially, the genetically modified corn has been bred for protection against pests. But, in the course of cultivation, scientists have documented that pollen from corn has in its structure is very harmful poison. This poison kills absolutely all insects, whether pests or innocent creatures.

Scientists, in turn, argue that for a man that poison does not constitute any threat, in some countries the use of the modified corn was forbidden by law. Therefore, the use of these products and remains a controversial issue and depends entirely on the consumers themselves.

Effect of transgenes on the human body is not fully understood, but the era of nutritional mutants, which incidentally occurred because the fast food industry coincided with a surge in interest with allergies, people suffering from obesity and other metabolic effects. Transgene absorbed by the body. With its excessive accumulation of people no longer respond to antibiotic treatment. While this is - only in theory, but is it worth the risk?
