By consuming these genetically modified foods there are many questions and debates whether or not there is enough evidence to support the fact that GMO’s are truly harmful. Numerous scientists have argued that GMO’s are exactly the same as natural reproduction. However, many other scientists against GMO’s are arguing that it is a entirely different principle and posses a constant number of risks to the customers. So the real question is, where is the evidence that will bring the truth to the people …show more content…
There is such limited evidence that we have resorted to testing animals to find out the truth and the results might be extremely scary to the public. A study conducted on pigs had resulted in harmful consequences for these animals that we eat on a daily basis. “GM-fed females had on average a 25% heavier uterus than non-GM-fed females, a possible indicator of disease that requires further investigation. Also, the level of severe inflammation in stomachs was markedly higher in pigs fed on the GM diet. The research results were striking and statistically significant”.( Evidence of GMO’s). Even with this knowledge many individuals continue to argue that GMO’s are a great benefit to society and should continued to be used across the world.
