Dangers of GMO Food

You may have heard about GMO’s in the United States, but did you know that GMO’s (Genetically Modified Organisms) can be found in as many as 60-70% of the foods in the United States. These organisms have been created through the gene-splicing techniques of biotechnology, also called genetic engineering.
This science allows DNA from one species to be injected into another species in a lab. Combinations of plant, animal, bacteria and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods are created. Although GMO food has been banned in Europe, politics in the United States are keeping GMO’s on the market and in our food.
I strongly believe the dangers of GMO food are not fully known; however, some dangers have been reported recently. Six of these dangers include:
- Food Allergy Symptoms Increase Dramatically
- Bodily Toxicity Increases
- Negative Reproductive Effects
- Negative Effects to the Digestive System
- Unknown Genetic Effects on Humans
- Death
Studies are continuing to be conducted on the safety of GMO’s. The outcome of meddling with nature may be worse than we can imagine.
