Jun 15, 2023 · One of them states that testing GM food raises some uncertainties, as food feeding studies for GMO safety assessment are tricky since plant varieties have diverse chemical composition and the effect of the introduced genes or changes caused by them are very tough to puzzle out (Kuzma & Haase, 2012).
Aug 26, 2015 · Dr. Pustazai’s curriculum vitae is what afforded him a $3 million grant by the UK government to study GMOs. Dr. Pustazai was possibly the first, if not a primary scientist to point out that GM food was not at all substantially equivalent to non-GM foods. He also pointed out that the testing procedures employed by the UK, and incidentally ...
May 5, 2015 · The first genetically modified crop wasn't made by a megacorporation. Or a college scientist trying to design a more durable tomato. Nope. Nature did it — at least 8,000 years ago. Well, actually bacteria in the soil were the engineers. And the microbe's handiwork is present in sweet potatoes all around the world today.
Oct 17, 2018 · The GMO potatoes are likely to accumulate at least two toxins that are absent in normal potatoes, and newer versions (Innate 2.0) additionally lost their sensory qualities when fried.

A GMO (genetically modified organism) is a plant, animal, or microorganism that has had its genetic material (DNA) changed using technology that generally involves the specific modification of DNA ...
Oct 8, 2018 · In 2000, I left Monsanto and started an independent biotech program at J.R. Simplot Company in Boise, Idaho. Simplot is one of the largest potato processors in the world. It was my goal to develop GMO potatoes that would be admired by farmers, processors, and consumers. Genetic engineering had become an obsession by then, and I created at least ...
Jan 29, 2015 · The differences are sharpest over biomedical research, including GMOs. 88% of AAAS scientists think eating GM food is safe, while only 37% of the public believes that’s true—a 51-percentage ...
