Nowadays genetically modified food is widespread all over the world. While proponents of GM crops ensure that these foods are safe for human consumption and help to increase food supplies, others argue that their effects on health have not been studied long enough. Describe pros and cons of genetically modified foods

It is considered by some that genetically altered

issues. The major advantages of these foods are that it contains the micro-nutrients that are essential for human and the ability to have an increased yield;

For instance

On the other hand

problems. It is unavoidable to completely remove the chemicals used to change the genetic structure of the

and there is a chance that it would migrate into the people's bodies and cause various sicknesses.

For example

, research done by Oxford university shows that some people who are not allergic to natural corn are allergic to genetically altered corn.
