Warning! Unhealthy eating habits The dangers of genetically modified food The dangers of genetically modified food 1.Advantages 2.Defects 3.Effects Advantages1. solve food shortage problem.2 reduced pesticide use, avoiding environment pollution.3 save production costs, lower food prices.4 increase in food and nutrition, improve added value.5 increase in food, improve food quality.6 promotes the production efficiency, drive relevant industry development. Defect:1. may cause damage to the butterflies and other insects. 2. may affect the surrounding plants. 3. may keep insects or pathogen in the evolution of increased resistance, or the creation of a new species, after the same may harm crops. Safety assessment:For the safety of genetically modified food on international at present, no unified view, arguments should focus on GM food will produce toxins, whether through DNA protein hypersensitivity reactions, whether the effects of antibiotic resistance etc.. Genetically modified food safety what Frankenstein is a British writer Mary Shelleys 1918 novel in physiology researcher, he was finally created their own monster to destroy. Now the Europeans to genetically modified crops for food called Frankenstein foods , means that the transgenic plants will cause an ecological disaster, threatens the existence of mankind. This metaphor is exaggerated, but their concerns are not entirely without reason. Life science industry development is thing of nearly 20 years, because of its gestates tremendous hope is getting more and more attention. The western countries in 1990 has not yet been formally planted genetically engineered crops, to cultivate an area to already amounted tohectare 1999. The world of transgenic seeds sales of in 1995, while 1998 has surged to $1500000000. ? But on the other hand, although the country has grown to more than 4500 kinds of transgenic plants, but the government approval of species listed only 40, n
