Nov 8, 2022 · Non-GMO Foods & Their Benefits. In 1973, the very first genetically modified organism (GMO) was developed by two biochemists, Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen (cool, huh). They worked together to alter the genetic makeup of one bacterium with DNA from another (fancy). However, it wasn’t until 1994 that the FDA approved the sale of any GMO produce.
Dec 10, 2021 · The Safety, Benefits and Future of Genetically Modified Organisms. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have been suggested as a way to feed the world’s increasing population, but there have also been questions about what impact—if any—they have on health. This Food Savvy Friday article will explore the safety, benefits and future of GMOs.
