MODERN PERSPECTIVES ON THE MORPHOLOGICAL FEATURES OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED PRODUCTS' EFFECTS ON THE HEPATOBILIARY SYSTEM IN EXPERIMENTS

Today, soybeans, cotton, corn, rapeseed, wheat, rice, alfalfa, papaya, squash, potatoes, tomatoes, sugar beets, and strawberries are grown in large quantities worldwide as genetically modified crops. They account for 47% of the total cultivated area in the USA, 58% in Brazil, 61% in Argentina, 7% in India, and 4% in China[3]. According to sources, consumption of genetically modified soybeans and corn has been associated with pathological conditions in human kidneys and liver, and a decrease in blood protein to abnormal levels; furthermore, the reproductive function of rats fed these products was impaired. However, there are also research findings that deny the negative effects of these products on the body.
