For,against and facts in genetically modified food

FOR		AGAINST	FACTS
Herbicide tolerance		Unintended harm to other organisms	Genetically modified foods have been linked to toxics and allergic reactions
Pest resistance		Reduced effectiveness of pesticides	Most developed nations do not consider GMOs to be safe
Nutrition		Gene transfer to non-target species	Scientists can take a gene from one living thing and put it directly into another plant or animal
Virus resistance		Genetically modified ingredients can cause cancer	Many people say these genetically modified, or GM, foods may end up harming the environment and humans
Disease resistance		It could raise new allergy outbreaks in humans	GM foods could carry genes that trigger allergies or other side effects.
Pharmaceuticals		Under-Developed countries becoming more dependent on other communities.	plants with new genes forced into them will accidentally crossbreed with wild plants and create pesticide-resistant superweeds.
