Genetically modified food whether or not it carries a health risk

1. Super-resistant soy, edible vaccine salad, and the most popular drug in the world
Interestingly, GM tomatoes were characterized by a slower ripening and softening of the nutritional value. They did not have any specific labelling indicating that they were produced using genetic engineering. Jurkiewicz 2012). The most common example is the GMO pair: soybean and herbicide containing the chemical glyphosate. The food is also modified to improve its nutrient value or remove unfavorable compounds from it. The oil produced from the soybeans contains less of the desired fatty acids than is produced by the traditional soy sauce. Thanks to this, the manufacturers of omega-3 fatty oils, which made it ideal for the sale of soybeaneous fats, could make it more profitable for the production of such fats from the oil.2. GMOs in Poland, Europe and the world
The largest GMO crops in Europe are in Spain, Portugal and the Czech Republic. Although there are officially no GM crops there, it is estimated that more than half of the soy grown there may be GMO (W. If the market for food and feed is GMO GMO, then in the EU (and Poland as well) GMO products can be purchased, including GM corn, maize, soybeans, raspberries, sugar beet and potatoes.3. They're GM animals
They are characterized by their incredibly expanded muscles and actually look like someone manipulated their DNA. Canada has a transgenic salmon available, with additional genes that make it grow much faster than traditional ones. Kajak-Siemaszko et al. 2016). When you type in the search engine for the password grove GMO, you see, among other things, pictures of cows of the Belgian Blue breed.4. The safety and benefits of GMOs
Resilient varieties can help reduce the problem of global hunger by increasing yields and reducing production costs. An example is golden rice with the addition of beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A. Despite several decades of research into gold rice, it has not been put into use to date, among other things, due to legal aspects and strong resistance from environmental organizations (R. Kafarski 2012); simplification and reduction in the cost of production of certain medicines, such as insulin. Similar positions have also been taken by many organizations and scientific societies around the world and in Poland. Due to the fact that the food industry is not rigorously regulated and the new technologies produced in this country are very well-established.5. The dangers of GMOs
In its 2015 report, Greenpeace states that 20 years after the introduction of GMOs on the market, the technology has proven unprofitable for farmers, leads to genetic contamination of traditional crops, and is not a response to the global hunger problem (Greenpeace 2015). There are reports that it may be a health hazardous preparation and potentially carcinogenic, but research on glyphosate does not show that it is toxic to humans or the environment. XiaoZhi 2014).6. Whether GMO food is harmful
The scientific community generally agrees that GMOs are safe for human health and the environment. This is often negative and fueled by fear of ignorance. Scientists also expect negative losses for the development of the world economy and public health due to the delay in the introduction of GMOs on the market. Each of us has come into contact with GMO food in some form or another, whether we want to or not. Public opinion also has its opinion on this issue.
