Abstract:
As a way to demystify the science behind Genetically Modified Plants, the author explains the difference between genetic modification, selective breeding, and hybridization. The author also notes that GMOs have been consumed for decades without any reported negative effects. As a caution, the author suggested that GMOs may allow for resistance development in insects, weeds, and other pests. He concluded with recommending organic or naturally grown vegetables if still reluctant to consume anything GMO generated.
