GM Foods-Benefits or Risks? |
|
Abstract |
 |
|
Since the birth of GM foods, its acceptance has been expanding
and it has really brought us lots of
benefits. They enhance the crops yield effectively, make crops
produce extra nutrition, and reduce the usage of insecticide and
herbicide; bring farmers higher profits and bring consumers
better choice. Though some studies have shown some side-effect
of GM foods, none could prove they directly do harm to men.
So far, we could continue to trust GM foods. At the same time,
more research should be conducted to make sure of the safety. |
|
As we are always eating the GM foods or
processed foods with GM ingredient even without knowing that, I
really wonder that if we could trust it. |

Procedure: |
-
First I referred to several books
from NTU library and I got a general ideal about what I was to
write.
-
Then I made out the organization of
the paper.
-
Next I read the books and journals
borrowed from the library and search the internet to find
out the evidences that support my view.
-
Finally I carried out the first draft
followed by second draft and final draft after talking with
my tutor .

Meanings of my findings
High-yield,
drought-tolerant, extra-nutritional GM foods have become of
great help and benefits, but extra proteins in GM foods,
insecticide/herbicide-resistant GM foods and the marker genes
also have become the concern of public. We should take this
matter extremely seriously. Its risks are not as high as some
radicals described but it's really uncertain yet.
