The main idea of this article is whether genetically modiefied foods are safe. First, the article explains what genetically modified goods exactly are. It then moves on with the pros and cons. An advantage that the article states is disease resistance. Genetically-engineered plants can be created to fight plant diseases. A disadvantage is human health risks. There is a possibility that introducing a gene into a plant may create a new allergen or cause an allergic reaction in susceptible individuals. The author is not biased since this article is not persuasive. I find the information here very credible, because the author includes many citations.
