Harm and benefits of GMO foods: should we give them up?

by Walter Lewis

Products that may contain GMOs
Today there are several types of products that have been bred with the help of gene modification. They can be divided into two large groups: plant crops containing modified genes and raw materials processed from GMOs, such as soybean curd, cornflakes, potato chips.

Often found and already eaten:

Plant-based GMO oils from soy, corn and canola.

Corn products: Corn, both fresh and processed, corn flour, corn starch, corn flakes.

Soy products: soybeans and soy-based products such as soy milk, soy tofu, soy sauce.

Cotton: Some products that contain cotton, such as cottonseed oil, may be produced from modified organisms and used for animal feed.

Seafood: in some countries, fish feed used for aquaculture and fishing may contain GMO ingredients.

Dairy products and meat: there are cases where animals are fed transgenic products and therefore their milk and meat may contain traces of GMOs.
