GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOOD

GMF stands for what?

• Genomics Modified Foods

• Genetically Modified Foods

• Genuine Modified Foods

How do our bodies digest GMF?

• our body will digest natural protein only

• our body cannot digest GMF because the protein is from GMO

• our body will digest GMF the same way as other proteins we consume

Can biotech foods (GMF) cause allergic reactions in some people?

• Yes, if they consume GMF everyday

• No, because GMF are hypoallergenic

• Yes, if the GMF contains a gene from a food known to cause an allergic reaction

• No, because food allergies are psychological and not physical
