GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS

Abstract

This paper intends to give a broad description of the health risks, environmental effects and the economic impact of GMO's (genetically modified organisms) around the world. Even though that EEUU is the main market, due to FDA( food and drugs administration) policies approval, GMO's have an aggressive introduction on markets all over the world. The main issue is the hidden health risks when consuming this food, and not only by humans, but also by animals. The new trend of pollution, knowing as genetic pollution, is bringing to our society. Plus the incapability of regulators organisms are to demand for reliable data, allowing the same companies to present their investigations, to introduce these products into the market. The constant fight from different groups against the few, not to say 3 or 4, companies that have monopolized the market of transgenic food. There are studies that show the damage that GMO’s are causing in our health and the environment.

GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS

Genetically Modified Organisms and Their Global Impact:

Safeness for Consuming, Environmental and Economic Effects

To address GMO’s acceptance we should start with this simple question: what is a better solution leave people starve to death or feed them with food that will lead them to a poor quality of live and eventually will lead them to death? Although companies phrase themselves as savers of the future from overpopulation, in regard of natural food supplies are very limited. In reality they are altering DNA from the crops that are used to make the basic foods that all humans and animals consume. As a result there have been independent studies that show the damage that GMO’s are causing in our health and...
