GMOs are once again in turmoil following the publication of the study by Professor Gilles-Eric Séralini on September 19, 2012, demonstrating the impact of the consumption of transgenic corn in rats. A good reason to take stock of the reality of the situation and the possible impacts of genetically modified organisms on our health.

Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, are organisms whose DNA has been transformed by human intervention thanks to genetic engineering (molecular biology techniques using genetics to use, reproduce or modify the genome of living beings). This technique thus makes it possible to transfer genes from an organism (animal, plant, etc.) to another organism belonging to another species. We then speak of transgenic.
