Could it be possible that GE (genetically engineered) foods might cause changes to our own DNA? As of now, there are no studies showing a direct connection, but an astute person could deduce that it�...
�s a definite possibility.
For instance, the NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) published a study confirming that the food we consume has a direct effect on the balance of free radicals and antioxidants within the body, and if that delicate balance were to become unbalanced and free radicals outnumbered antioxidants, a host of negative ramifications can follow:
"If free radicals overwhelm the body’s ability to regulate them, a condition known as oxidative stress ensues. Free radicals thus adversely alter lipids, proteins, and DNA and trigger a number of human diseases."
In light of this evidence citing food as a specific trigger to altering our DNA, doesn’t logic also tell us that genetically modified organisms that contain many unnatural and untested elements also have the ability to trigger DNA mutations?
At the very least, we can assume that the extremely precarious and unknown nature of GMOs has the potential to cause extensive changes and unbalances inside the body that allow free radicals to become pervasive causing oxidative stress thereby triggering disease.
It also stands to reason that food containing various herbicides and pesticides meant to kill plants and insects could be harmful to the human body as well.
