Are genetically modified foods harmful?

Answer 1

Gabriella Anderson

Genetically modified food is good bu harmful too.

This is because of reason that we produce genetically modified plants for our benefit.we introduce special gene inside the plant which is otherwise not present in it.Example:a plant was not having pest resistance ability in itself so we can introduce that ability by genetically modification, after introduction the plant wil have pest resistance ability.earlier, we ate fruit of plant (pesticides sprayed) but after modification we eat fruit (without pesticides spray).but it can cause food allergy ,food toxicity ,and decrease in nutritional values.

The safety of genetically modified (GM) foods depends on various factors, including the specific modification and how it affects the plant or organism. Generally, regulatory agencies such as the FDA, EFSA, and others assess the safety of GM foods before they are approved for consumption. Numerous scientific studies have shown that many GM foods currently on the market are safe to eat. However, ongoing research and monitoring are necessary to evaluate any potential long-term effects and ensure continued safety.
