GREED?
 TRUE OR FALSE

1.GMOs are dangerous to our

health
2. GMOs produces more

EXPLAIN SOME
RISKS OF GMOS
 RISKS OF GMO
1. Inadequate studies of the effects
of GMOs to humans
2. Genetic engineering promotes
mutations
3. Allergic reactions
4. Gene mutation (abnormalities)
5. Antibiotic resistance
(cause illnesses)
6. Nutritional value
