Benefits of organic food has been harped upon by many nutritionists, though many believe that the benefits of organic food is far greater than conventional foods it still stands as a perception more so than theory , however this does stand strong amongst many and perhaps the main reason behind the increased demand for organic food stuff.A study has reveled that in certain strains of genetically modified corn such as MON 810 and MON 863 which are genetically modified corn strains that are resistant to pests and is fortified to withstand weed killer has disrupted the chemistry of the blood of rats that were fed with these strains of genetically modified corn. Other negative symptoms also have been associated with the rats that were fed with genetically modified corn and certain types of maize, for instance, unusual amounts of hormones were found in the blood and urine samples of the rats under the experiments, scientists are thus suggesting such abnormal amounts of hormone s may impair kidney and liver function in the long run by consuming genetically modified corn and maize. The female rats that were fed with the genetically modified corn strain of MON 863 had a higher blood sugar levels and raised level of cholesterol known as triglycerides, and both of these symptoms are precursors to diabetes and heart disease.Though there is still no veritable proof of the toxicity associated with genetically modified corn and its produce, the findings of the experiments do prove that they do have some effect and changes in the overall functions of the bodies of the rats who were apart of the experiments, thus researchers are implying that the same effects are a possibility in humans as well and in addition .Tomatoes are the other food stuff believed to yield far superior benefits of organic food than its conventional cousin; this is according to a decade long study carried out by the University of California, Davis. Organic tomatoes are grown in an envi ronment that has a lesser nutrient supply as nitrogen enriched chemical fertilizers are not included. Thus because of this fact there is a greater increase in the formation of antioxidants like quercetin which there is a 79 increase and kaempferol which is 97 higher in organic tomatoes. This is essentially good news as antioxidants are vital for overall good health as they have fight carcinogenic properties such as free radicals.

In May 2009, Germany has officially banned genetically engineered food from their country but most other countries continue their use. In the USA, it is more of an individual preference whether they are going to consume genetically engineered food or natural food and it has been made official that all GMO food are to be labeled with their ingredients and their genetic status while non-GMO foods are not to contain any enhanced components. However, with the increasing population and slow reduction of farming land, GMOs may just be our only hope to keep our generation as well as the future generations from imminent starvation.
