The Battle for Biotech
Paragraph I
According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 250 million children in the world suffer from vitamin A deficiency.
Paragraph C
The techniques of genetic engineering are new and different. Conventional breeders always used plants or animals that were related or genetically similar.
Paragraph A
The potential to improve the quality and nutritional value of the food we eat seems unlimited.Such potential benefits notwithstanding, critics fear that genetically engineered products so called biotech foods- are being rushed to market before their effects are fully understood.
Paragraph B
Humans have been altering the genetic traits of plants for thousands of years by keeping seeds from the best crops and planting them the following years.
Paragraph F
Most scientists argue that the main safety issues of GE crops involve not people but the environment. Allison Snow, a plant ecologist at Ohio State University.
Paragraph E
The biotech foods have had problems in the past. One such problem occured in the mid-1990s, when soybeans were modified using genes from a nut.Humans has allergic to nuts.
Paragraph D
According to a 2016 report from the National Academy of Sciences in the United States, "No differences have been found that indicate a higher risk to human health and safety from these GE foods than from their non-GE counterparts " .
Paragraph K
The biotech foods will deliver on their promise od eliminating world hunger and improving the lives of all remains to be seen.If science proceeds with caution, testing new products throughly and using sound judgement.
Paragraph J
"Golden rice alone won't greatly diminish vitamin A deficiency", says Professor Marion Nestle of New York University.
Paragraph G
Far fewer pesticides need to and many other scientists argue that genetic modification can help address the urgent problems of food shortage and hunger by increasing crop quantities.
Paragraph H
While applied chemical pesticides kill nearly all the insects in a field, biotech crops with natural pesticides only harm insects that actually try to eat those crops.
