You may have come across the term “frankenfoods,” which has a funny connotation but is, in fact, a serious issue. These are foods made from genetically modified organisms (GMOs) — foods and additives that have had a variety of modifications, mainly the insertion of foreign genes.
The debate rages as to the safety of these foods. My review indicates that they may be the next big disaster, but unlike most disasters, we may not be able to correct this one.
As major gene researchers often state, you can create genetically modified foods, but you cannot unmake them.
Despite all we now know about genetics, there are a great number of unknowns. For example, we only recently discovered that genes can be turned on and off depending on a great many variables. These variables include environmental influences, nutrition, and exposure to a number of toxins and viruses.
Regardless of what you are told by the media and the makers of these GMO foods, the genetic modification of foods is a very crude process.
It is almost impossible to insert a single gene into foods. The material inserted contains many DNA contaminants which can have a profound effect on human physiology and pathology.
