Why Genetically Modified Food might be dangerous!
A recent report in a peer-reviewed Journal gives evidence to show the harmful effects of Genetically Modified Foods to both a person's health and the environment.
The report goes on to say “Research studies show that genetically modified crops have harmful effects on laboratory animals in feeding trials and on the environment during cultivation. They have increased the use of pesticides and have failed to increase yields. Our report concludes that there are safer and more effective alternatives to meeting the world’s food needs.”
In 1994 Dr. John Fagan a researcher, returned grant money in the amount of $614,000 to the National Institute of Health due to his concerns with health and safety of GMO's.
Dr. Fagan said, “Crop genetic engineering as practiced today is a crude, imprecise, and outmoded technology. It can create unexpected toxins or allergens in foods and affect their nutritional value. Recent advances point to better ways of using our knowledge of genomics to improve food crops that do not involve GM.
