Genetically modified products, in particular corn, are now very popular all over the world. But besides her popularity, she is known for disagreements about her harm. Some scientists believe that modified corn can be used freely, and that for a person the use of this product will not do any harm, according to the Internet edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. Net For the first time commercial use of genetically modified plants was started in 1996 - since then the number of agricultural areas sown with "altered" corn, soybean, cotton increased 25 times.

However, there is another opinion. After carrying out of set of various examinations it has been deduced, that the modified corn has negative influence on terrestrial and water organisms. Initially, genetically modified maize was bred for protection against pests. But, during the cultivation, scientists have recorded that the pollen of corn has in its composition a very harmful poison. This poison kills all insects, be it pests or innocent creatures.

Scientists in turn argue that for humans this poison is not a threat, in some countries the use of modified corn was prohibited by law. Therefore, the use of these products remains a contentious issue and depends entirely on the consumers themselves.

The effect of transgenes on the human body is not fully understood, but the era of food mutants, which incidentally came to the fast food industry, coincided with a sharp increase in the percentage of allergy sufferers, people suffering from obesity and other consequences of metabolic disorders. Transgene is absorbed by the body. With its excessive accumulation, a person will stop responding to antibiotic treatment. So far it's only in theory, but is it worth the risk?.
