Introduction
Genetically modified foods can be described as foods whose genetic material has been modified in a particular way that does not happen naturally. In genetic modification, the intended gene is inserted into the genome of a crop. A genome can be defined as the entire set of DNA instructions found in a cell. Determining whether genetically modifying foods is a safe process is extremely controversial. We will look at a few experiments throughout the article like, FLAVR SAVR tomatoes as well as T2A-1 rice on the GI health of rats after 90-day supplement. Some researchers also believe that genetically modified foods(GMF) can lead to gut health issues and some diseases. Due to GMFs being extremely controversial, this leads to many social disparities among environmentalists as well as social activists. Throughout the article we will also look at the genetics that are involved while modifying foods.

Section 1 Genetics
Include some current research, with at least one image.
Sample citations: [1]
[2]
A citation code consists of a hyperlinked reference within "ref" begin and end codes.
For multiple use of the same inline citation or footnote, you can use the named references feature, choosing a name to identify the inline citation, and typing [4]
Second citation of Ref 1: [1]
Section 2 Microbiome
Include some current research, with a second image.
Conclusion
Overall text length (all text sections) should be at least 1,000 words (before counting references), with at least 2 images.
Include at least 5 references under References section.
