Are genetically modified foods edible? The completion of the Human Genome Project was followed by the emergence of gene knockout and insertion technologies, giving birth to a new discipline of bioengineering – genetic engineering. Genetic engineering is the technology of transferring and reorganizing DNA to change the genetic traits of organisms and create new biological species. Transgenic technology is applied to plants by adding drought resistance genes, overturn resistance genes, and herbicide resistance genes to the original plant genes. The genes are inserted into wheat, soybean, tomato, tobacco, etc. The genes are inserted into wheat, soybean, tomato, tobacco, etc. to increase drought resistance, overwhelm resistance, and pest resistance. Transgenic technology is also applied to animals by adding genes such as mastitis resistance genes (cows), fattening and enlargement genes, and disease resistance genes to increase their ability in that area so that the animals can be healthy and grow according to human wishes. All genetically modified foods, animal and plant cells are hydrolyzed by proteases, lipases and nucleases in the human body into individual amino acids, triglycerides and mononucleotides, which are then reorganized and used by the body. Therefore, a large part of the wide range of food in supermarkets is already genetically modified, you can rest assured that they are safe to eat.
