π MODEFIED GENETIC ENGINEERING
The Bible states about genetic engineering from crossbreading modefication:
π “You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle breed with a different kind. You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed,…” — ( Leviticus 19:19 )
——–
π “Do not plant two kinds of seed in your vineyard; if you do, not only the crops you plant but also the fruit of the vineyard will be defiled.— ( Deuteronomy 22:9)
Genetic engineering and GMOs are integral parts of the industrial food system and GMO ingredients are in most packaged foods. Genetically engineered (GE) or genetically modified (GM) foods are produced from plants and animals that have had changes made to their DNA, which introduce or modify genetic traits. A crossbreed is an organism with purebred parents of two different breeds, varieties, or populations. Crossbreeding, sometimes called “designer crossbreeding”, is the process of breeding such an organism, often with the intention to create offspring that share the traits of both parent lineages, or producing an organism with hybrid vigor. While crossbreeding is used to maintain health and viability of organisms, irresponsible crossbreeding can also produce organisms of inferior quality or dilute a purebred gene pool to the point of extinction of a given breed of organism. A domestic animal of unknown ancestry, where the breed status of only one parent or grandparent is known, may also be called a crossbreed though the term “mixed breed” is technically more accurate. Outcrossing is a type of crossbreeding used within a purebred breed to increase the genetic diversity within the breed, particularly when there is a need to avoid inbreeding. In animal breeding, crossbreeds are crosses within a single species, while hybrids are crosses between different species. In plant breeding terminology, the term crossbreed is uncommon, and no universal term is used to distinguish hybridization or crossing within a population from those between populations, or even those between species. Animal breeding, controlled propagation of domestic animals in order to improve desirable qualities. Humanity has been modifying domesticated animals to better suit human needs for centuries. Selective breeding involves using knowledge from several branches of science. These include genetics, statistics, reproductive physiology, computer science, and molecular genetics. This article discusses the basic principles of how populations of animals can be changed by application of these principles, and a brief discussion of molecular genetics, immunogenetics, and newer reproductive technologies is included. The fundamental biological principles underlying animal breeding are discussed in the articles heredity and animal reproductive system. Mating animals that are related causes inbreeding. Inbreeding is often described as βnarrowing the genetic baseβ because the mating of related animals results in offspring that have more genes in common. Inbreeding is used to concentrate desirable traits.

How do GMOs affect the body? According to the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM), there are no human clinical trials of GMO foods, but those done with animals indicate serious health risks linked to GMOs. These include: – Infertility – Immune problems – Accelerated aging – Faulty insulin regulations – Changes to major organs and the gastrointestinal system Another concern is that because these foods are engineered to withstand herbicides, more of the toxic substances are sprayed on the plants, which ultimately increases the trace amounts of herbicides found in foods. “Food is so complex that itβs hard to study it and determine the ramifications of GMOs,” says Teems. “I tell my patients not to fixate on avoiding GMOs, because thatβs nearly impossible. Instead, concentrate on eating a heart-healthy diet that is high in fruits and veggies, and low in added sugar and processed foods.β
