The Grim side of GMOs
The ongoing debate around the world is, are genetically modified organisms, also known as GMOs, good for you and the environment? Research however shows GMO’s are bad for you, the environment and have had not enough testing.
Imagine coming home, the whole day you've been waiting for that special treat in the fridge, nothing bad could happen from eating this treat on the outside, but inside your kidneys are slowly being destroyed and immune system weakened. These GMOs are terrible because of extreme health risks. GMOs can cause severe damage to your immune system liver and kidneys (U.S News). This means that eating something as harmless as an orange or tomato can result in extreme consequences. At the same time GMOs can cause new allergies and hurt the effect of antibiotics. GMO foods can create new symptoms that won't be stopped by the antibiotics because of their altered cell makeup, and results in illnesses and who knows what. Dr. William Davis author of Wheat Belly states a new protein gliadin which …show more content…
The only reason the plants don’t need pesticides is because they have pesticides genetically altered into them. These types of pesticide in the plants are called neonicotinoids. These neonicotinoids affect the nervous system of insects resulting in paralyzation and death. These neonicotinoids work great on insects but also bees. Neonicotinoids have killed large amounts of bees and we need bees to help the reproduction of 85% of the world's flowers and 35% of the world's crops (PSU EDU). The use of gmos could extremely affect our world.
In conclusion GMOs could possibly help us but the risks are far too great. It risks our health by possibly giving disease or tumors. They have had not enough testing and even still we can't be sure they won't hurt us. Not only could they hurt but could have an effect on environment by destroying native plants and genetically altering plants
