The Sweet Trouble on Our Tables, Genetically Modified Organisms and Their Effects on Public Health]

The incredibly rapid development of gene technology, nowadays, departs frombeing only a field of inquiry but extends itself to our daily lives in various areasfrom health to food and from objects we use to our pets.
