Genetically-Modified Organisms (GMOs) are currently being developed for agriculture. Currently commercialized GM crops in the U.
S. include soy (94%), cotton (90%), canola (90%), sugar beets (95%), corn (88%), and Hawaiian papaya (more than 50%). The use of GMO crops can reduce agricultural costs to farmers and provide greater crop-yields, possibly helping with issues of food shortages. Although this sounds great, there is still a lot of controversy around the use of GMOs. Which of these is a valid argument on why we should not use GMOs in our food? GMOs do not have any nutritional value
GMO crops are always more expensive to buy
There is not enough research on long-term effects of eating GMOs.
The engineered design plants utilizing GMOs or genetically modified organisms to be more nutritious, tougher, or taste much better. However, there is a concern regarding the pros and cons of utilizing GMOs. The creation of GMOs is done by presenting DNA or genetic material from a different organism via a procedure known as genetic engineering. The most presently available GMO foods are plants like vegetables and fruits.
As genetically engineered foods is a comparatively novel method, very less is known regarding the long-term influences and safety. The health issues related to GMO foods are a hot topic today. It is believed by some of the researchers that GMO foods may potentially trigger allergic reactions. Some believe that consuming GMO foods can result in the development of cancer.
Thus, there is not enough research on the long-term effects of consuming GMOs.
The chemical compounds of the epigenome are not part of the DNA ... Epigenetic changes can help determine whether genes are turned ... effect the modifications have on gene function, protein production, and human health.
To dissolve, solvent particles must come in contact with solvent particles. Particles of hot water are moving much more rapidly than particles of cold water. Hence, in hot water more water particles will come in contact with hot chocolate powder than in cold water, resulting in faster dissolving.
The increased number of red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets in the blood can cause bleeding problems and make clots form in blood vessels. This can increase the risk of stroke or heart attack.
