GMO Crops List

ByDorothy M. Neddermeyer Ph.D.

Genetically Modified Organism–GMO. … Genetic modification is the process of forcing genes from one species into another entirely unrelated species. Because the injected genes can come from bacteria, viruses, insects, animals, fish or humans the negative side effects can result in a 25+ illness diagnosis.

Non–GMO means non-genetically modified organisms. GMOs (genetically modified organisms), are novel organisms created in a laboratory using genetic modification/engineering techniques. Scientists and consumer and environmental groups have cited many health and environmental risks with foods containing GMOs.
