Abstract



 It is important for us to recognize what is being put into our foods. It is what fuels
our bodies and keeps us alive. There is no need to put chemicals or pesticides into
our bodies. They are dangerous and can cause medical problems. GMO’s are
popular because they can help with defense against insects and produce a larger
yield of crops. Some believe that this can help solve the world hunger problem by
providing an abundance of food to developing nations. Although it seems like
this addition is helpful, it comes with many negative side effects. A huge issue is
that the FDA does not require safety checks or labeling of products to disclose to
the consumer that there are GMO’s present in the ingredients. Some of the side
effects include increased food allergy reactions, cancer, infertility, viral and
bacterial illnesses, toxins, birth defects, shorter life spans, and death. The studies
on GMO’s and their long term affects are very limited and unknown. No one is
being held accountable for the dangers that come along with GMO’s. Many
consumers would not buy GMO products if they were labeled so. If GMO’s are
considered safe and healthy, then why are companies against labeling products
and letting the consumer decide what they want?
What's the Difference?
Organic
 Natural, unprocessed
food
 Labeled “Certified
Organic”
 Safe for you &
environment



Genetically Modified
Foods

 Genetic composition is
altered by gene technology
 Plants have been genetically
engineered to produce
pesticides or resist
herbicides
 No GMO label required
 Common GMO products:
tomatoes, rice, potatoes, cor
n, soy, milk, wheat, canola
oil, & aspartame (artificial
sweetener)

Genetically Modified Food
Benefits



 Faster growing, better tasting fruits & vegetables that
stay fresher longer and are naturally resistant to
insects, drought, cold, & disease
 Cheap & affordable: Can increase food production
for developing nations who suffer from malnutrition
 Edible vaccines can be put into fruits & vegetables
Genetically Modified Food
Hazards



 Monsanto is the leading
producer of genetically
engineered seed.
 Over 80% of food in
North America contains
GMO’s
 The FDA does not require
labeling or safety checks
on GMO products
 No one is being held
responsible for all of the
side effects caused by
GMO’s
Genetically Modified Food
Hazards (continued)



 Unintended side effects to
humans:
 Allergic reactions
 Cancer (400-500% ↑ risk of breast, prostate
& colon cancer)

 Unacceptable levels of antibiotic
residue in milk
 Infertility
 Birth defects
 Low birth weight
 Shorter life spans
 Toxicity
 Death

 Damage to the environment:
 Toxicity to soil from deadly
chemicals
 Soil sterility & pollution (lasts up to
8 months)

 Lethal to beneficial insects
 Extinction of seed varieties
 Super weeds (endotoxin remains in soil
at least 18 months)

 Destruction of forest life
 Super pests (common plant pests
evolve)

 Natural boundaries are violated

(crossing strawberries with fish, grains &
seeds with bacteria or viruses)
Uninformed Public



 60 countries require labeling
foods with GMO’s in
them, the US does not
 30 countries restrict or ban
GMO’s, including
Australia, Japan, & all of
Europe
 Long term side effects are
unknown and currently not
being studied
Safety


 Americans consume 193
pounds of GMO’s annually
 Instead of spraying pesticides onto
plants, plants will contain them in
every cell
 If GMO’s are so safe,
why are they wearing
protective clothing?
A diet filled with organic fruits, vegetables, whole
grains, & beans helps lower the risk for many cancers.

AH- GMOs

  • 2. Abstract   It is important for us to recognize what is being put into our foods. It is what fuels our bodies and keeps us alive. There is no need to put chemicals or pesticides into our bodies. They are dangerous and can cause medical problems. GMO’s are popular because they can help with defense against insects and produce a larger yield of crops. Some believe that this can help solve the world hunger problem by providing an abundance of food to developing nations. Although it seems like this addition is helpful, it comes with many negative side effects. A huge issue is that the FDA does not require safety checks or labeling of products to disclose to the consumer that there are GMO’s present in the ingredients. Some of the side effects include increased food allergy reactions, cancer, infertility, viral and bacterial illnesses, toxins, birth defects, shorter life spans, and death. The studies on GMO’s and their long term affects are very limited and unknown. No one is being held accountable for the dangers that come along with GMO’s. Many consumers would not buy GMO products if they were labeled so. If GMO’s are considered safe and healthy, then why are companies against labeling products and letting the consumer decide what they want?
  • 3. What's the Difference? Organic  Natural, unprocessed food  Labeled “Certified Organic”  Safe for you & environment  Genetically Modified Foods  Genetic composition is altered by gene technology  Plants have been genetically engineered to produce pesticides or resist herbicides  No GMO label required  Common GMO products: tomatoes, rice, potatoes, cor n, soy, milk, wheat, canola oil, & aspartame (artificial sweetener)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkszeODUOkc
  • 4. Genetically Modified Food Benefits   Faster growing, better tasting fruits & vegetables that stay fresher longer and are naturally resistant to insects, drought, cold, & disease  Cheap & affordable: Can increase food production for developing nations who suffer from malnutrition  Edible vaccines can be put into fruits & vegetables
  • 5. Genetically Modified Food Hazards   Monsanto is the leading producer of genetically engineered seed.  Over 80% of food in North America contains GMO’s  The FDA does not require labeling or safety checks on GMO products  No one is being held responsible for all of the side effects caused by GMO’s
  • 6. Genetically Modified Food Hazards (continued)   Unintended side effects to humans:  Allergic reactions  Cancer (400-500% ↑ risk of breast, prostate & colon cancer)  Unacceptable levels of antibiotic residue in milk  Infertility  Birth defects  Low birth weight  Shorter life spans  Toxicity  Death  Damage to the environment:  Toxicity to soil from deadly chemicals  Soil sterility & pollution (lasts up to 8 months)  Lethal to beneficial insects  Extinction of seed varieties  Super weeds (endotoxin remains in soil at least 18 months)  Destruction of forest life  Super pests (common plant pests evolve)  Natural boundaries are violated (crossing strawberries with fish, grains & seeds with bacteria or viruses)
  • 7. Uninformed Public   60 countries require labeling foods with GMO’s in them, the US does not  30 countries restrict or ban GMO’s, including Australia, Japan, & all of Europe  Long term side effects are unknown and currently not being studied
  • 8. Safety   Americans consume 193 pounds of GMO’s annually  Instead of spraying pesticides onto plants, plants will contain them in every cell  If GMO’s are so safe, why are they wearing protective clothing?
  • 9. A diet filled with organic fruits, vegetables, whole grains, & beans helps lower the risk for many cancers. 
