METHOD – 320 -6 = 314 WORDS Rats and Diets 36 Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups of 9 rats with each group fed a different diet. Groups consisted of Corn starch (C), corn starch + naringin (N) (CN), high-carbohydrate high-fat diet (H) and H + N (HN) (Alam, Kauter, & Brown 2013). Rats on H and HN diet were fed a high-carbohydrate high-fat diet consisting of 25% fructose in drinking water and a mixture of beef tallow, condensed milk, powdered rat feed and salt for 16 weeks (Alam,…

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are a very disputable and turbulent topic in the agricultural industry. The main focus points on the controversy of GMOs are whether foods that has been modified be labeled, the long term effects of GMOs on the human body and the environment, the impact of GMO crops for farmers, the regulation of GMOs by the government and the role of GMO crops in fighting hunger. Genetically modified cash crops such as soybeans, canola, cotton, and corn are in demand by…

what GMOS are i want explain as to why they are helpful to our crops and food. 1)In almost everything we eat it traces back to the use of GMO’s. There are many foods Modifying the genetics of our foods. For example since we can modify the foods genes we can make it as to where there are no defects in the food we eat therefore,no product is wasted. 2) By the year of 2050 our population is expecting to increase drastically and that means we should be ready to produce as much…

In recent years, the development of new technology has allowed the scientific community to grow in leaps and bounds, inventing new products and improving the old. Genetically modified organisms — commonly known as GMOs — are such a product of recent scientific gains. As with any new technology, however, GMOs are widely contested and are the subject of an overabundance of misinformation, especially concerning their safety and potential risks. Many critics label GMOs as so-called Frankenfoods,…

According to the World Health Organization GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) are defined as organisms whose genetic material has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally. There is much speculation and debate in the political, business, and scientific community as to their benefits and drawbacks. One of the highest genetically modified species includes soybeans and in fact up to 85% of soybeans grown in the United States of America have been genetically modified. Economic pressures…

It is the trending thing today, see something new and freak out if you disagree. People are creating rumors and false photographs to grab readers attention that are ignorant on the topic of genetically engineered products. So the question becomes why are people against GMO's or genetically modified organisms? Over the past 20 years many words have been used to try to portray a positive outlook: Genetically modified organisms (GMO's), Genetically Modified (GM), Genetically Engineered (GE), and…

as, the unknown health consequences of consuming genetically modified organisms, permanently mutating genes, reducing biodiversity, cross contamination, and legal issues with seed patenting. While genetically engineered foods have not been shown to be safe or unsafe to eat and may have unpredictable consequences, many scientists are worried that, once consumed, they may pass on their mutant genes to bacterium in the digestive system. Genetically modified organisms contaminate existing seeds with…

Marwan. O Aljohani Professor Dereje Gultineh GEO 2400 November 10, 2014 Word count: 863 Policy Brief on GMOs and the Future of Agriculture The agriculture application of genetic engineering has been denied and accepted by different state and unions such as the European Union. Public surveys have shown so many different opinions. It’s an open secret that many countries views are influenced by gender, age, level of income, and socio-professional statue. And that means countries with issues in…

Many people have different views on the growing of plants. One of those would be GMO's or more commonly known genetically modified organisms. many have their own points of views on this subject but overall it comes down to people being for it or not. I for one suggest the use of not using GMO's because of the many unknowns. Genetically modified foods and plants are too unknown because of the unknowns to the use of GMO's, the side effects of the use, and the farmers and peoples cost because of…
