Réponse :Toxicity and allergies linked to the presence of the inserted gene
It is said that there is a risk of poisoning when a food - milk, eggs, meat, etc. - contains toxins, that is to say substances capable of damaging vital functions or parts of the human body.
Development of antibiotic resistance
Often antibiotic resistance genes are used as markers in the manufacturing process of GM plants and are then part of the genome of the GMO obtained. The protein encoded by this gene has, among other things, the ability to increase the resistance of GM plants to antibiotics.
Some risks of toxicity and allergenicity identified so far are linked to the inserted gene and the protein produced. These are predictable changes: we know where the gene comes from and we know the nature of the protein generated. These risks are for the most part assessed according to the methods commonly used in toxicology. When there is such a risk, the GMO is not approved.
