A genetically modified organism, or GMO, is an organism that has had its DNA altered or modified in some way throughgenetic engineering. In most cases, GMOs have been altered with DNA from another organism, be it a bacterium, plant, virus or animal; these organisms are sometimes referred to...

Keep in mind that predators include microscopic organisms, like bad bacteria and fungal infections, in a baby’s digestive tract. So why are these milk lectins nutritious for the baby while being potentially poisonous to another species?
(IFOAM) in 1988, more than 60 countries voted unanimously against the use of GMOs in food production and agriculture because they felt there were unacceptable risks involved: threats to human health, a negative and irreversible environmental impact, incompatibility with sustainable agriculture, and a ...
“Non-GMO” means non-genetically modified organisms. GMOs (genetically modified organisms), are novel organisms created in a laboratory using genetic modification/engineering techniques. Scientists and consumer and environmental groups have cited many health and environmental risks with foods containing GMOs...
