The genetically modified foods were introduced to the world due to many advantages it has over the conventional foods. As we all know, there is only a limited earth surface suitable for cultivating. Due to the increasing earth population, it is obvious that one day, the food supply will not simply enough to cater the demand. In order to prevent such situation, the scientists have come up with genetically modified foods where they can use for producing more crops using the same amounts of resources. There are a number of benefits of genetically modified foods and let?s have a look at those.There are many benefits that come from the creation of genetically modified animals. For instance, by the manipulation of their genes, scientists are able to study the functions of genes, genetic diseases and how to treat genetic mutations such as cancer and other illnesses. Most of these genetically modified animals are used for the economic production of food items that are rich in rare nu t essential nutrients. Genetically modified animals are also created with the development of the medical sciences as well. For instance, some animals can be genetically manipulated to grow replacement organs and tissues for humans and to harvest other medically valuable components to battle certain diseases and even .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 environment 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.
