GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS AND THEIR EFFECT ON THE HUMAN BODY

Abstract

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have become ubiquitous in modern agriculture and food production, raising concerns about their potential impact on human health. This article provides an overview of the current scientific understanding of GMOs and their effects on the human body. We examine the various ways in which GMOs may interact with human physiology, including potential allergenicity, toxicity, and alterations in nutritional composition. Additionally, we explore the controversies surrounding GMO safety assessments, regulatory frameworks, and public perceptions. By synthesizing evidence from peer-reviewed studies, regulatory reports, and expert opinions, this article aims to provide a comprehensive perspective on the complex relationship between GMOs and human health.
