Discussion About Genetically Modified Foods
Do we encourage or ban genetically modified foods
Discussion about Genetically Modified Foods
Outline
Introduction
a. The genetically modified foods are a long issue which is widely debated.
b. People feel confused about their safety.
I. Views
a.) Magana-Gomez’s argument.
b.) He argues that negative effects of GM food were identified “at molecular and microscopic levels”.
c.) Curieux-Belfond CL contends that the benefits of genetically modified foods far outweigh the disadvantages.
II. Genetically modified foods: Beneficial views & Adverse views
a. What is the possible risk for genetically modified crops considering nutrition and health?
b. Whether the economic effects are the most important?
c. Will it bring severe environment problems?
III. Arguments for beneficial effects of GM foods
a. Firstly, transgenic technology has made considerable progress in food applications.
b. Transgenic food has successfully lowered food prices and ensured food safety.
c. GM foods significantly reduce the environmental impact of agriculture.
Introduction The author, Magana-Gomez, critically analyzed the risk assessment methods of transgenic food for human nutrition and health in the paper, “Risk assessment of genetically modified crops for nutrition and health”. Magana reviewed various modes including different feeding period, animal modes and parameters in the paper published in 2011 by Nutrition Reviews (Magana G, 2009). In consistent with his studies, negative effects of GM food were identified “at molecular and microscopic levels”. However, with our entry into the 21st century, genetically modified foods have undergone even faster development. However, there are also many doubts about the safety of genetically modified foods. Therefore, genetically modified foods have become a hot topic issue. Personally, although there are many controversies about GM food, I still insist on the research and promotion of
