Why are a lot of people against genetically modified crops being grown?
A lot of people are against genetically modified crops being grown because of potential negative health effects. The effects of altering crops genetically are also not known due to the process being relatively new.
Which person is least likely to be concerned about potential long-term side effects of genetically modified (GM) food ?
The terminally ill are unlikely to be worried about the possible long term side-effects of gm foods. The elderly may also not be too concerned. Young children are unlikely to be concerned about gm foods. And most scientists are also unlikely to be concerned (the safety record of gm foods is pretty good).
What are the harmful effects of planting genetically modified organisms in other organisms in the surrounding fields?
Genetically modified organisms can outcompete other organisms, decreasing species diversity.
Why is 'non-genetically modified whole soybeans' preferred as an ingredient for a food product?
In general, non-genetically modified foods of any type (including whole soybeans) are preferred to the their genetically modified counterparts because the long-term health effects of consuming genetically modified foods have not been properly documented yet. There may be unanticipated health risks with consuming certain genetically modified foods.
Which person is least likely to be concerned about potential long-term side effects of genetically modified food?
That would be hard to say. It is probably the group of people who are ignorant of the issue of genetically modified food and/or who have not studied the issue from a broad perspective and varied resources.
What is the effect of genetically modified microbes and pollution control?
There are millions of effects brought on by genetically modified microbes and pollution control. This can make a portion of the population Êphobic of anything dealing with the government for example.
What action has been taken to try and prevent genetically modified food technology developing?
No movement to try to prevent the development of genetically modified food technology is known. There are; however, people who choose not to eat food that is known to be genetically modified, due to questions about the health and environmental effects of genetically modifying plants used for food.
Do people urgently need genetically modified food regardless what some scientists say about its harmful effects?
No, people do not urgently need genetically modified food, especially since some scientists question its safety.
What are the effects on Growth in GDP from genetically modified food?
There have been countries that have refused to import grains that contain GMOs, so it has resulted in negative effects on the GDP.
What effect does genetically modified food have on your genes?
Some argue that genetically modified food has no effects on human or animal genes. They also argue that GMO foods are the same as any other foods and have no negative health effects at all. Others argue that they might cause changes to our genes, and that they do cause changes to the flora in our intestines, possible sterilization, and other health issues. The FDA has declared then to be "substantially equivalent" to non GMO foods. In reality, we just do not know what effects genetically modified food have on our health or our genes.
What are negative effects of biotechnology?
The real negative effects of biotechnology are really the potential negative effects since many of the presumed problems have not actually occurred. Some real and potentially real problems include the effects of genetically modified organisms, antibiotic resistance and ethics surrounding many treatments and therapies, vis-a-vie risk/benefit.
Should genetically modified crops be boycottted?
No. It's just that any long term effects are unknown. So just avoid them for about 50 years.
