Genetically modified golden rice can produce up to 23 times as much beta-carotene as the original golden rice. [3] [4] [5] Golden rice is generally considered to be safe: with the FDA, Health Canada, International Rice Research Institute and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation supporting its use.
GMOs, or genetically modified organisms, comprise a large majority of the food much of the western world consumes on a daily basis.
What are GMO foods? Genetically modified organisms refers to any plant, animal or microorganism that has been genetically altered, due to modern biotechnology like genetic engineering. Often, GMOs ...
Specific concerns include mixing of genetically modified and non-genetically modified products in the food supply, [1] effects of GMOs on the environment, [2] [3] the rigor of the regulatory process, [4] [5] and consolidation of control of the food supply in companies that make and sell GMOs. [2]
A screenshot shared on Instagram purports to show a tweet from Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. stating that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) will be banned in the U.S. beginning on January 20, 2025.
In 2014, 181.5 million hectares of genetically modified crops were planted in 28 countries. Half of all GM crops planted were genetically modified soybeans, either for herbicide tolerance or insect resistance. Eleven countries grew modified soybean, with the USA, Brazil and Argentina accounting for 90% of the total hectarage.
