6 Cons of GMOs

Allergic Responses

Many people might experience some allergies after consuming GM foods. However, this is still a controversial debate between different scientists and organizations. Some studies suggest that the transfer of particular proteins from one plant to others during the genetic engineering process would lead to these health issues. That’s why the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization have established some protocols for those foods. In general, all GM foods have to be tested carefully for the ability to trigger allergic reactions before they can be distributed in the market. [7]
