The expression “genetically modified organisms” is scientifically meaningless and semantically dubious. “GMOs” are currently defined, in short, as “organisms obtained via recombinant DNA techniques”; such description is very problematic, for two main reasons. 1. The boundary which should distinguish these biotech methods and their outcomes from oth...
The most beloved tuber on this planet will help us to show the foolishness of the bogus “GMO” category, and consequently, how counterproductive its effects are. 2.1 USA Potato tissues contains solanine, a substance which is toxic over certain levels, as has been known for decades (Hansen 1925), and it is particularly dangerous because not even cook...
A very frequent slogan is used by opponents of advanced agri-food biotechnologies: transgenic crops are “unnatural”, and therefore potentially noxious, and even unethical; copying a DNA sequence from a microbe to splice it into the genome of a crop is seen as a sort of violation to the natural order, an undue jump in the tree of life. Even common d...
Many scientists believe, without prejudices, that recombinant DNA biotechnology may give us better potatoes, first of all providing direct benefits to consumers (Patil et al. 2016) and therefore encouraging the public’s acceptance: for instance, a new variety containing a higher level of nutrients has been created and long tested by Indian scientis...
