Introduction
Genetic modification engages the insertion of genes from other organisms (within or between species) into host cells to select for desirable qualities. Potential benefits of GM foods include amplified nutritional value; reduced allergenicity; pest and disease-resistance; and improved processing value. Possible detrimental outcomes include producing foods with novel toxins, allergens or reduced nutritional value, and expansion of antibiotic resistance or herbicide-resistant weeds. (more…)
