3. Short story of Frankenstein.
• Russia to the Pacific Ocean
via the Arctic Ocean.
• Victor Frankenstein.
• professors M. Krempe and
M. Waldman.
• to re-create and reanimate
a dead body.
• combination of chemistry,
alchemy, and electricity.
• runs away.
• "adopted" family, the De
Laceys.
• rejection by mankind.
• to take revenge on his
creator's family.

4. INTRODUCTION
What are GMOs?
1. Living organisms that already artificially manipulated
in a laboratory through genetic engineering or GE.
2. This relatively new science creates unstable
combinations of plant, animal, bacteria and viral
genes that do not occur in nature or through
traditional crossbreeding methods.

5. OBJECTIVE
To inform all the audience about the
danger of consuming Genetically
Modification Organisms (GMO) to our
body.

7. 1.0 Cause Cancer
“It is possible GM DNA could affect stomach and colonic
lining by causing a growth factor effect with the unproven
possibility of hastening cancer formation in those organs“
Edward R. Eating GM Food
could give you Cancer says
Scientist. (online)

eral32/Eating.htm (26

8. 1.0 Cause Cancer.
1.1 Human Breast Cancer.
" GMOs in our food allows for greater herbicide and pesticide used
over time many of which are known endocrine disruptors.[…] The
Breast Cancer Fund released a publication, “State of the Evidence”
that connects environmental toxins to breast cancer. Some of the
pesticides that they identified as causing mammary glands include
propazine, cyanazine, chlordane, methhyl bromide, malathion, and
2,4-D. “

9. 1.0 Cause Cancer.
1.2 Kidney and liver failure.
“For the first time in the world, we've proven that GMO are neither
sufficiently healthy nor proper to be commercialized. [...] Each
time, for all three GMOs, the kidneys and liver, which are the main
organs that react to a chemical food poisoning, had problems”

11. 1.0 Cause Cancer.
1.3 Lung cancer.
“From the chemical-lined bag to the actual contents, microwave
popcorn is at the center of lung cancer debates around the world.
Not only are the kernels and oil likely GMO (which the
manufacturer does not have to disclose), but the fumes released
contain diacetyl, which is toxic to humans.“

Foods. (online)

causing-foods-2/ (26 August 2015)

12. 2.0 Decrease immune system.
“ GM peas under development were evaluated by tests normally
applied to medicine—not to GM food. The peas created a
dangerous immune response in mice which, if found in humans,
might be life threatening. The 10-year pea project, costing over $2
million dollars (US), was abandoned. If those same peas had been
evaluated with tests used for other GM crops, however, they could
have sailed through the approval process anywhere in the world.“

Caused Dangerous Immune Response in Mice.

13. 2.0 Decrease immune system.
2.1 Increase allergy
“ Intuitively our body cells and the overall immune system
seems to reject excess homogeneity. Each new food item
produced contains many new potentially allergenic
proteins. “
Batalion N. (2009). 50 Harmful
effects of Genetically Modified (GM)
Foods. (online) http://www.raw-
wisdom.com/50harmful (26 August
2015)

15. 2.0 Decrease immune system.
2.2 Imbalance chemicals result in corrosive to
human tissues.
“ By changing the genetic order the new plant is high in starch
which is corrosive to human tissues […] Changing the genetic order
of wild life forms and creates genetic mineral and chemical
imbalances and mutations in the new species and all that eats it. “
Sebi. (2013). Hybrid foods. (Online)
http://thealkalineway.blogspot.com
/2013/03/what-are-hybrid-
foods.html (20 August 2015)

16. 2.0 Decrease immune system.
2.3 Contaminated our blood forever.
“One published human feeding experiment suggests that toxins in
GM soy transfer into bacteria that live inside our intestines –
bacteria that continue to thrive long after we have stopped eating
genetically modified foods. This could harm the balance of good
bacteria in our intestines and turn our digestive systems into
pesticide storehouses that create diseases resistant to antibodies.”
Collins D. (2011). Fact or Myth: Do Denetically
Modified Foods cause Cancer, Lung Damage &
Birth Defects?. (online)
http://undergroundhealthreporter.com/genet
ically-modified-foods/ (26 August 2015)

17. 3.0 Infertility.
“ Genetically Modified foods, according to researchers,
are becoming a real problem when it comes to fertility,
causing an influx in worldwide infertility rates. Since the
1970’s alone, sperm counts among the world’s male
population have declined as much as 40-50%, according
to some studies. GMO foods may be just one of the
reasons, warn those studying the phenomenon.
Rodriguez H. (2015). Research
Indicates that GMO could be a cause of
Infertility. (online) http://natural-
fertility-info.com/gmo-infertility.html
(26 August 2015)

18. 3.0 Infertility.
3.1 Sterility.
“Between 1996 and 2008, US farmers sprayed an extra 383 million
pounds of herbicide on GMOs […] results in "super weeds,"
resistant to the herbicide […] causing farmers to use even more
toxic herbicides every year. Not only does this create environmental
harm, GM foods contain higher residues of toxic herbicides is linked
with sterility, hormone disruption, birth defects, and cancer.”
Anonymous. (2014). Institute for Responsible Technology. 10 Reasons to Avoid
GMOs. (Online) http://www.responsibletechnology.org/10-Reasons-to-Avoid-
GMOs (20 August 2015)

19. 3.0 Infertility.
3.2 Infant Mortality
“In a telling coincidence, after Irina Ermakova's feeding
trials, her laboratory started feeding all the rats in the
facility a commercial rat chow using GM soy. Within two
months, the infant mortality facility-wide reached 55%. ”
Smith G. (2011). Genetically Modified
Soy Linked to Sterility, Infant Mortality
in Hamsters. (online)

-smith/genetically-modified-
soy_b_544575.html (26 August 2015)

21. 3.0 Infertility
3.3 Miscarriage
• “ Human epidemiological studies have found an association
between exposure to the chemicals used on our food crops,
specifically those that have been genetically engineered to
withstand them, and miscarriage, birth defects, neurological
development problems, DNA damage and certain types of
cancer.”

Genetically Engineered Foods linked
to Cancer, Miscarriage. (online)

22. CONCLUSION
"Millions of ordinary people are very worried about genetically
modified
foods and I am one of them....With genetically modified foods I
believe we have reached the thin edge of the wedge, we are
messing with the building blocks of life and it's scary.“
- Malcom Walker -
“Genetically modified organism (GMO) foods are feared and hated
by environmentalists and the public alike. Yet the scientific
assessment of GMOs is remarkably different. Every major scientific
evaluation of GMO technology has concluded that GMOs are safe
for human consumption and are a benefit to the environment.”
- Ramez Naam -
