Avoid Genetically Modified Foods

Avoid Genetically Modified Foods - Jeffrey Smith : When used in its natural form as a spray in the Pacific Northwest. (USA), hundreds of people have allergic reactions or flu-like symptoms, some had to be hospitalized. So it clearly affects humans and mammals. Now if you notice symptoms of the person who sprayed in the state of Washington (USA) and you have the phenomenon of farm workers in India who picked cotton in genetically engineered to produce Bt toxin, they experience the same symptoms. They suffer from rashes, upper respiratory reactions, fever, some must go to the hospital.
Now the Bt toxin in the plant, but thousands of times more concentrated than natural sprays. Designed to be more toxic, and it contains a known allergen. And it also can not be cleared from the plant, because he produced by a small spray bottle in each plant cell, in every bite. So many people believe that toxins produced by Bt corn and cotton Genetically Modified very dangerous. And the idea that we have a pesticide factory (Yes) on inside of us in total is very high by a factor of "disgusting" I'll tell it.

Reasons to Avoid Genetically Modified Foods

Reasons to Avoid Genetically Modified Foods - 10 Reason :

1. Genetically Modified Foods are unhealthy.
2. Genetically Modified contaminate―forever.
3. Genetically Modified increase herbicide use.
4. Genetically Modified creates dangerous side effects.
5. Government oversight is dangerously lax.
6. The biotech industry uses "tobacco science" to claim product safety.
7. Independent research and reporting is attacked and suppressed. 
8. Genetically Modified harm the environment.
9. Genetically Modified do not increase yields, and work against feeding a hungry world.
10. By avoiding Genetically Modified, you contribute to the coming tipping point of consumer rejection, forcing them out of our food supply.

Genetically Modified

Genetically Modified is the basic procedure in producing a product of biotechnology. In general, Genetically Modified to modify living things through the transfer of genes from one organism to another. Genetically Modified procedures generally include:

1. Isolation of genes.
2. Modify the biological function of genes that better.
3. Gene transfer into a new organism.
4. Forming products of genetically modified organisms.

Formation procedure transgenic organisms there are two, namely:

1. Through the introduction of genes
2. Through the process of mutagenesis

The process of introduction of genes
Some basic steps are the introduction of genes

1. Form the desired gene sequence is characterized by a specific marker
2. Transforming gene sequences that have been marked to the network
3. Tissue culturing contain genes that have been transformed
4. The test culture in the field

Genetically Modified

Mutagenesis
Modifying the genes in the organism by replacing the nitrogen bases in DNA sequences that have to be replaced by other nitrogen bases so that there is a change in the nature of the organism, for example: the original nature does not become resistant pest resistant pests. Mutagenesis agents is usually known as mutagens. Some examples of commonly used mutagen is gamma ray (physics mutagens) and ethyl methane sulfonate (chemical mutagens).

Human Genome Project
Human Genome Project is an international effort that began in 1990 to identify all the genes (genome) contained in the DNA in human cells and map the location of each human chromosome, amounting 24. Proyek has unlimited potential for growth in the diagnostic approach to detect disease and molecular approaches to cure human genetic diseases.
