Explanation / Answer

Since the technology of genetic engineering is a new development; thus knowledge of the long-term health effects of GM foods is limited. Food allergies in children under 18 years of age have increased; from 3.4 percent in 1999 to 5.1 in 2011, based on the reports of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Scientists are suggesting a link between this rise in allergy and increase in the use of GM food. Further increased antibiotic resistant bacteria may be due to the use of GM foods. Prevalence of cancer has been suggested by scientists to the use of herbicide Roundup and Roundup-tolerant GM corn. The insects that may eat the GM foods may develop pesticide resistance.
