Are Genetically Engineered Foods Really Good For You?
Answers:
NO! The health risks far outweigh the "benefits." Basically think of it as the general theory that we, as man, are modifying nature's production of food--which is our lifeline. That can never be good....
I couldn't possibly explain it better than a scientist, so here's a quote by Dr Michael Antoniou, Senior Lecturer in Molecular Pathology, London, UK.:
The main hazards that result from the use of
genetic engineering in food production stem from the fact that (i) genetic engineering brings about combinations of genes that would never occur naturally and (ii), in the case of plants and animals, genetic engineering is an imprecise technology resulting in the random incorporation of the new
genes into the host DNA.
These two effects always combine to produce a totally unpredictable disturbance in host genetic function as well as in that of the introduced gene. The resulting disturbance in the biochemistry of the host can unexpectedly produce novel toxins, allergens and reduced nutritional value. Therefore, it is quite possible for a processed food in which the DNA has been destroyed or removed to still possess potentially harmful substances.

umm... i dont think so.. but if it has MSG.. it is bad... how do you even know what food is genetically engineered..
