IntroductionRecently, there has been a huge increase in reports from around the world of new diseases affecting large parts of today's population. Diseases such as obesity, Alzheimer's, celiac disease, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and much more are on the rise. Researchers suspect that our food is the culprit behind these diseases. Along with diseases, genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are also on the rise. The more bad food we eat, the greater the potential damage to our health. One of the poor foods we consume is GMOs: the alteration of genes in foods to produce desirable effects. These effects can range from improved nutritional value, texture, flavor and increased shelf life. These effects may seem harmless and rather favorable. However, what makes this GMO so poor is because of the harmful side effects it actually produces. According to the Institute for Responsible Technology's Non-GMO Shopping Guide, genetic engineering technology is currently very crude (ABOUT GMO, n.d.). It is impossible to apply the technology precisely, which means it can destroy an organism's DNA. To pose a real danger to the health of the human body, it is necessary to hinder the natural state of the body. According to clinical instructor of medicine, Dr. Soram Khalsa, “when our body receives a genetically modified food, it does not recognize it and does not know what to do with it. We doctors are realizing that in these cases our body may treat it as an allergen that it does not recognize. When this happens, it helps create “holes” in the lining of the small intestine and these unrecognized and incompletely digested foods can send molecules into our blood… middle of paper… Neurological Disease: ADHD, Autism, Alzheimer's, Schizophrenia, Bipolar.
