We have all heard of the GMO food<\/strong> and the dangers of consuming it. And the truth is, even if the food is not genetically modified, it\u2019s probably been treated with strong pesticides. But there is also the promising nature of non-GMO food and organic food.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, most people don\u2019t know the difference<\/strong> and they get confused seeing all of those different labels on the shelves of their local supermarket.<\/p>\n

What should you buy?<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the healthiest solution<\/strong> for your family?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n

What Does Non GMO Mean in Food?<\/h3>\n

In simple terms, non-GMO means that the food wasn\u2019t genetically modified.<\/strong><\/p>\n

GMO or genetically modified organisms<\/a> are the type of organisms that have been created in laboratories, using the genetic modification process. There are many environmental and health risks<\/strong> of consuming these products, especially since neither the environment or our bodies are not used to them.<\/p>\n

Many people around the world are thus looking for non-GMO foods.<\/p>\n

Genetic modification is based on taking some genes from one organism and putting it in another<\/strong> organism and combine them in a way that changes that organism. This is usually done for the purposes of faster growth and greater quantity<\/strong>\u00a0in general. The scientists take viruses, bacteria and other DNA components. For instance, they transferred the genes of one bacteria to corn<\/strong> for the purpose of that corn being more able to repel insects.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It can be a dangerous technology, especially since scientists may not be able to know which genes go where and what will happen. The newly modified organism may respond in unpredictable ways<\/strong> and mutate further. This can create toxins and allergens as well as new proteins<\/strong> that we have never tried before.<\/p>\n

Some say that GM is just another level of plant breeding. <\/strong><\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s really not.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

They essentially break the natural barriers and transfer genes<\/strong> from various organisms to various organisms without knowing what will happen. Plant breeders breed plants from same or related species.<\/p>\n

GM is also based on a theory which is highly outdated and obsolete. This theory says that one gene will express one protein but scientists have discovered that this is not true. Genes don\u2019t<\/strong> work like that.<\/p>\n
