Question

Why do some people worry that eating genetically modified food may be harmful?

Altering the DNA of plants always reduces the nutritional content.

Genetic modification reduces the genetic variation in both plants and animals.

There have not been enough long-term studies to prove that this food is safe.

There have been many studies showing that these foods cause disease.

Answer 1

Answer:

1)One specific concern is the possibility for GMOs to negatively affect human health. This could result from differences in nutritional content, allergic response, or undesired side effects such as toxicity, organ damage, or gene transfer.

REST IDK

SORRY

Answer 2

Genetically modified (GM) food are not consumed widely because there has not been enough long-term scientific studies proving that it is safe.

Explanation:

• Lack of sufficient data regarding the long-term effects of genetically modified food will have on the consumers.
• Also the studies conducted are over short periods of time and they are not very promising about the possible genetic effects it could possibly have on humans and other organisms.
• There has been a threat that genetically modified plants have a mutagenic affect on the organisms. Though there are studies proving non-edible products are safe there has been a debate regarding safety of GM food.
• The Bt Brinjal (Bacillus Thuringiensis Brinjal) is one typical example of toxicity caused due to genetically modified foods.
