What are the dangers of genetically modified foods?

Genetically modified food is very common in our lives, and some people blindly believe that genetically modified food is good for the human body, but they don’t know that genetically modified food is a high-tech product and an unhealthy food ingredient. It should not be consumed in excess, otherwise it will directly endanger people’s health. In order to increase everyone’s understanding of genetically modified food, I will specifically introduce its hazards to the human body below.

What are the dangers of genetically modified foods?

1. Cause human poisoning

Most genetically modified foods are produced after artificial extraction and addition. Some trace toxins will accumulate in the production and processing process. After entering the human body, these toxins will damage the body's tissue cells and cause multiple organs to suffer from poisoning, deformities, cancer and other adverse symptoms, which are very harmful to human health.

2. Induce allergies

Inducing allergies is also one of the important hazards of genetically modified foods. During the production and processing of genetically modified foods, nutrients or substances from many kinds of food will enter the food. If the human body is allergic to one of these substances, it will have an obvious allergic reaction after consuming this genetically modified food, which will significantly reduce the body's anti-allergic ability.

3. Damage to the stomach and intestines

Regular consumption of genetically modified foods can also damage the human stomach and intestines, because some genes in these genetically modified foods will affect the DNA in human intestinal bacteria. At this time, human intestinal bacteria will multiply in large numbers, the balance of intestinal flora will be destroyed, and the intestines will become an accumulation place for harmful genes in genetically modified foods. Gastrointestinal health will be significantly reduced, and the body's digestive function will also be damaged.

4. Increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases

A common genetically modified food in our daily life is genetically modified soybeans. This food contains a large amount of saturated fatty acids. After these saturated fatty acids enter the human body, they will accumulate in the human blood vessels, causing blood vessel rigidity and aging, and will significantly increase blood pressure and blood lipids, increasing the incidence of diseases such as coronary heart disease and arteriosclerosis.
