Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO’s) – Whose Side Are You On?

Hoping not to follow in the Europeans’ footsteps, scientists are again out to dispel the untruths and rumors regarding genetically engineered crops.  Many people are concerned about the potential harm they may receive from eating genetically modified foods.  But, having completed extensive studies over six years ago, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine already concluded that the advantages of GMO‘s far outweighed the disadvantages.  But, the fight to win the people and the government over is far from finished.





While scientists point out that genetically engineered (GE) foods pose no higher risk to us as humans than non-GE foods. Experts at the other end of the scale are worried that by using insect and herbicide resistant GE plants we are increasing the risk of producing resistant bugs and weeds which would create a further issue to tackle.  However, this has not put them off completely and are still willing to look into the possibility of increasing the amount of GMO‘s currently on the market; they just feel that a little more research is required.
