1, nutritional damage
Changes in the major nutrients, micronutrients, and anti-nutritional factors in genetically modified foods will reduce the nutritional value of the food, so that the nutritional structure of the imbalance. Scientists believe that foreign genes can destroy nutrients in food in a way that is not well understood at present.
2, or unsafe
Without longer safety tests: Genetically modified food alters the natural properties of the food we eat, it uses biological substances that are not part of the safe provision of human food, and without long safety tests, no one knows that this type of food is safe.
3. Eosinophilic myalgia
Mayeno, A.N. et al. (1994) reported the occurrence of a new, unexplained condition characterized by eosinophilic myalgia. Clinical manifestations included paralysis, neurological problems, painful swelling, itchy skin, cardiac problems, lack of memory, headache, photosensitivity, and lethargy (Brenneman, D.E. et al., 1993; Love, L.A. et al., 1993). It was later identified as the result of tryptophan produced by a genetically engineered bacterium born to a Japanese company. Consumers became ill after 3 months, resulting in 37 deaths, 1,500 partial body paralysis, and more than 5,000 occasional weaknesses. It has been determined that a content of 0.1% can kill the human body.
4. Gastrointestinal Problems
The most worrying thing is that the genes inserted into GM soybeans are transferred to the DNA of the bacteria that live in our intestines and continue to function. This means that eating the corn flakes caused by Bt corn will turn our gut bacteria into living pesticide manufacturing plants, possibly until we die. Americans have had a huge increase in gastrointestinal problems over the past decade. This massive increase is mostly attributed by doctors to the consumption of genetically modified foods. The most serious problems go beyond that.
5. Allergies
During genetic modification operations, foods containing genes extracted from bacteria can lead to the expansion of allergies, causing allergic reactions, especially in children, pregnant women and adults with allergies. For example, if scientists add a certain gene from corn to the genes of soybeans, wheat and shellfish, and proteins are added with the genes, then people who were previously allergic to corn may be allergic to these soy, wheat and shellfish foods.
6, cardiovascular disease
These genetically modified soybeans have saturated fat genes implanted in them by their bioscientists. These genes lead to genetically modified soybeans produced soybean oil, after entering the human body, will form a large amount of saturated fat, increasing the blood viscosity of the blood, for fatty liver, high blood cholesterol, cerebral thrombosis, and other major cardiovascular diseases buried a chronic time bomb.
7, triggering new diseases
Genetic modification technology uses antimicrobial-resistant genes to identify genetically modified crops, which means that the crops carry antimicrobial-resistant genes. These genes affect us through bacteria. Research in the UK has shown that mutated genes in GM crops may enter organisms and the results could lead to new diseases. If similar results were to occur in humans and animals, the most potent superbugs that even antimicrobials can't kill could be developed.
