Before all, what exactly are GMOs? In simple words
refers to the genetic modification of some organism. But how? For example in
food, genes from one species are introduced to another to be expressed in this
"new food". The features are best genetically compared to one that
was not modified and this modification makes it more resistant to pests or rot.
This topic, genetically modified foods has generated controversy because
according to someone is harmful to health, however it’s not so much the
damaging effects on our bodies, I think it's mostly afraid of something that we
are not aware.
Apart from the food, genetic engineering has been used
in many fields such as research, therapy and companion animals. These themes have not caused many problems because
they are not things we deal with every day directly, as in the case of food. As
I said before, people think it's bad because it is unknown and don’t know the
benefits it can bring these changes in different areas like increased
productivity for farmers or cure for disease. Practically all the disadvantages
about GMO is based on theories, there are few studies that support that are
harmful to health or the environment.
According to the International Council for Science
asserts that GMO don’t generate any damage to the environment, as there is
strict control over this matter.
So this is it, I see you next week
Bye :)
