The Institute for Responsible Technology stated that the American Public Health Association and American Nurses Association condemn the use of GM bovine growth hormone, because the milk from treated cows has more of the hormone IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1) , which is a linked to cancer (Par. 3). According to Center for Food Safety the FDA in 1993 also approve the use of genetically engineered recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone used to induce dairy cows to produce more milk (Par 8.). The results of this can be significant because numerous studies demonstrate that IGF-1 is a linked to growth of breast cancer, prostate cancer , and colon cancer. The question some people may ask themselves is, how do we know what food has been genetically modified? Each day, tens of millions of American infants, children and adults consume genetically engineered food without their …show more content…
The National Geography stated that scientist continue to find new ways to insert genes into plant and animal DNA (Par. 1). According to Daily finance, it was about 20 years ago when a s company now owned by Monsanto introduces the Flavr Savr tomato, which was the first genetically modified organisms approved from consumption in the United States and now, farmers across the county have been using more and more GMOs every year (Par. 1). The majority of soy, canola, and corn grown in the U.S are now genetically engineered, and most of the time they are used in our ingredients in the processed food we eat such as cereal, ketchup, oil, chips, and the list goes
