Are GMOs bad for your health? (https://www.precisionnutrition.com/are-gmos-bad-for-your-health)
This is an article written by a molecular biologist, Hellen Kolias, who brings a clear light at the end of the tunnel to all the arguments that people have on GMO’s. She states in the article a perfect example of a scientist who made a Vitamin A packed rice called “Golden Rice”, and yet half of the 500,000 people who are going blind from Vitamin A deficiency are not eating things like Golden Rice. Why is this? Well the answer is people are scared of GMO’s. Now Kolias, as well as myself, are understanding as to why people are scared of GMO’s. Science terms being thrown around with your food are not exactly the best thing to think about. However, Kolias states how people often get GMO’s mixed up with GEO’s. GEO’s are things that have their DNA and other aspects specifically tampered with. With GMO’s, people still believe they can cause harm to your health. Kolias shuts down this entire idea by stating that’s GMO’s are what made insulin a lot more widespread and cheaper, as well as many other medicines that people use daily just to survive. She also states how letting, for example, ears of corn grow out wildly, they are more likely to grow some kind of geometric mutation than is already put into the GMO altered corn. GMO’s allow for consistency through crop growing, instead of hoping for a good harvest every time (which is not gonna happen every time). All in all, GMO’s are a lot safer and beneficial than they really sound, and if they were removed from our society like everyone wants them to, it would drastically change our entire lifestyle for the worse.
