Despite the fact that genetically modified foods are still none of we weren’t poisoned, much less turned into a vegetable or fruit, Many people have a sharply negative attitude towards GMOs.
Therefore, today, manufacturers write on food Mandatory “Without GMOs”, otherwise no one will buy: poison! A Is it really?
According to independent biologists, genetically modified cereals, vegetables, fruits, etc. no different from the output breeding of cultivated plants that humanity uses for food for many centuries. It’s practically the same selection, only in accelerated form.
But, using cultivated apples, watermelons (look at medieval paintings, which at that time were these so-called berries, – photo below), pears, cucumbers and tomatoes, for some reason we don’t we are afraid of them poisoning or breaking their genome. And this really doesn’t happen although everything cultured is genetically modified, and not particularly important – how.

Maybe we should go back to nature and start eating only wild cereals, fruits and vegetables? But this is equivalent to to throw comfortable housing and go savage into a dense forest – yes, in environmentally friendly in all respects, only acceptable is it for most earthlings? ..
The statement that GMO products affect the genome the person consuming them, scientists call a myth. First, the food in our stomach is processed and broken down into the necessary body elements, and all unnecessary is displayed. Secondly, any genes, including including human, reliably protected from external influences, and otherwise each eating apple would immediately turn into it (according to at least in man-apple).
How people zombie, intimidating GMOs
Nevertheless, the zombies of people on this issue are so strong, that you are simply amazed. The other day, researchers led by Phil Fernbach of the University of Colorado (Boulder City) held A survey in the United States, Germany, and France on people’s awareness of GMO. It turned out an amazing picture.
It turns out that genetically modified foods cause panic fear among those who absolutely do not know anything about GMOs. AND on the contrary, people who more or less understand what modern is selection, treat these products quite adequately. But scientists not even that struck me, but the fact that the lower the awareness people, the higher was their self-esteem: they say they already know about GMOs exclusively everything. And vice versa.
Scientists have concluded that this paradox, known as the effect Dunning-Krueger, on the one hand, makes distribution difficult genuine knowledge, and on the other – makes it easy to manipulate human consciousness. This can be used by the powers that be, pushing into the masses they need (filtered with one or another purpose) information and beliefs. And any, even the most absurd …
