Science Myth Bust: GMO was accused

Science Myth Bust: GMO was accused



          Do you know GMO? Every time you heard GMO, you have bad attitude with GMO right? You believe that GMO is bad for health isn’t it? If the answer is yes, let’s change your mind.
          First you must know the definition of GMO. Genetically modified organism or GMO is any organisms whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. GMO are source of genetically modified foods and are also widely used in scientific research to produce goods other than food.
          What do you think about GMO? GMO causes cancer, this myth is come from an experiment in mice which was fed by GMO corn and has liver cancer, but this information isn’t true, it was made by people who want to discredit GMO. If this research is true, all of us would have a cancer because ninety percent of corn in our daily life is GMO which was imported from USA and China.  
    
          Unfortunately, twenty years ago the research on GMO corn in Thailand, Monsanto Company was attacked by Green Peace so all GMO project in Thailand were stopped for long time. If GMO project continue, we would have a variety of beautiful orchids, other crop will gain higher grade and increase plant’s shelf life and their nutrient which could bring vast income to Thailand and develop farmer’s life to be better than present.
          One big argument that attacks GMO is that GMO corn’s spores will fertilize with native corn, but in fact it couldn’t happen because corn is native plant of Mexico not Thailand. Although corn is not Thailand native plant, we still could control them by growing GMO crop in closed system or growing them in area that far from native plant at least fifteen kilometers.  Another argument is that there is a case of a person who was died because of GMO food, but this can be only one in billion.
          There are many good examples to support GMO, Walnut that could stay with pest, strawberry which rot slower so it is easier for transportation and rich of nutrients, apples which ripe slower than common and stand longer with pest, tomato with thicker dermis so the damage during transportation will be decreased. Corn with specific gene which can produce toxic to protect themselves from pest, potato with gene that make higher nutrient and also produce vaccine which could be used in human, soybean with gene that make them be able to endure with pest and weed, cotton with genetic – engineering which make them be able to produce toxic and papaya with less seeds.
          GMO isn’t   harmful as we thought so we should make a better attitude to GMO and accept GMO to be used in our daily life
