genetically engineered foods are harmful
...ver in the fields. Increased pollution of food and water supply is a fact proved by scientists which is caused only because of genetically engineered foods. These foods are resistant to herbicides, which leads to an increase in the use of herbicides, resulting in even greater pollution of our food and water with toxic agrochemicals. Besides that, genetically engineered foods also cause unknown harms and viruses. The full sets of risks associated with genetically engineered foods have certainly not been identified. The ability to imagine what might go wrong with technology is limited by the currently incomplete understanding of physiology, genetics and nutrition. These foods also lead to a creation of new or worse viruses. One of the most common applications of genetic engineering is the making of virus-tolerant crops. Such crops are produced by engineering components of viruses into the plant genomes. For reasons not well understood, plants producing viral components on their own are resistant to following infection by those viruses. Moreover, genetically engineered foods cause potential harms to health. These foods are harmful for our health because of the new traits introduced in the foods. The introduced gene may act differently when working within its new host. The original genetic intelligence of the host will be disrupted, and the new combination of the host genes and the introduced gene will have unpredictable effects; and therefore there is no way of knowing the overall, long-term effect of genetically engineered foods on the health of those who eat them. The process of genetic engineering can thus introduce dangerous new allergens and toxins into foods that were previously naturally safe. Already, one genetically engineered soybean was found to cause serious allergic reactions, a...
