It is not known conclusively whether GMO food is harmful. Many claim that science shows that it is safe and others claim that anecdotal evidence (non study) suggests it is not safe and could be harmful to the environment.

∙ 9y agoGenetically modified foods are produced in a lab by removing a gene from one species and forcibly inserting it into the DNA of a totally unrelated species. This is referred to as horizontal breeding which is not the same as vertical breeding that occurs in nature.

Is genetically modified crops are harmful or not?
not
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.
Why do you need genetically modified food?
There is a lot of talk about how genetically modified food is needed, but no real evidence that it is needed.
What can happen if you eat food that's not been genetically modified?
death. Nothing, food that hasn't been genetically modified is natural food. The kind of food people have been eating for thousands of years. Something is more likely to happen to you if you eat genetically modified food.
The bulk of genetically modified organisms used in agriculture are called what?
These are usually called GMOs. An organism that is produced through genetic engineering is considered to be a genetically modified organism (GMO).Insulin-producing bacteria were commercialized in 1982 and genetically modified food has been sold since 1994. Genetic engineering is also called genetic modification.While there is a worry among the public that eating genetically modified food may be harmful but scientific agreement is that these crops are no greater risk to human health than conventional food.
Why genetically modified food is required?
It isn't.
Is genetically modified food in Lebanon?
Yes
How was genetically modified food created?
Genetically modified food is created in a lab by removing a gene from one organism and forcing it into an organism of a different species.
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.
What foods cannot be genetically modified?
Any food that comes from a plant, animal, or other living thing can be genetically modified.
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.
What do you call an organism with spliced DNA?
An organism that is produced through genetic engineering is considered to be a genetically modified organism (GMO). Insulin-producing bacteria were commercialized in 1982 and genetically modified food has been sold since 1994. Genetic engineering is also called genetic modification. There is a worry among the public that eating genetically modified food may be harmful but scientific agreement is that these crops are no greater risk to human health than conventional food.
