   Are genetically modified foods dangerous?

   • Genetically modified foods do cause controversy, however. Genetic engineering typically changes an organism in a way that would not occur naturally. It is even common for scientists to insert genes into an organism from an entirely different organism. This raises the possible risk of unexpected allergic reactions to some GMO foods.

   Are genetically modified organisms good or bad?

   • Figure 1. The good and bad of two genetically modified organisms. Image by Hannah Somheygi. Herbicides are chemicals, often highly toxic, that are sprayed on weeds in order to kill them so that they do not compete with the desired crop for space and nutrients. Some are selective for certain kinds of plants.

   What are genetically modified organisms (GMOs)?

   • Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are living organisms that have had their genes altered in some way — also called "bioengineering." GMOs can be animals or bacteria, but most often they are crops like corn or potatoes that have been tweaked in a lab to increase the amount or quality of food they produce.

   2 days ago · Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) provide certain advantages to producers and consumers. Modified plants, for example, can at least initially help protect crops by providing resistance to a specific disease or insect, ensuring greater food production. GMOs are also important sources of medicine.
