A research conducted by a Ghanaian, Dr Borneges Quarshie Nkosana Nartey of Sinel specialist Hospital, has revealed that 70% of female and 50% male premature deaths are due to the consumption of Genetically Modified Organism (GMO).

Outlining the effects of GMO products on Adom FM’s Burning Issues on Wednesday, Dr Nkosana Nartey explained that GMOs are bacteria mixed with plant genes of which the bacteria has the ability to cause cancer.

Listen to Dr Nkosana Nartey below:

According to him, GMO was introduced in the 1860s when everybody assumed that all was alright but by 1990 when it hit the market things had gone wrong.

“Most of these GMO genes that have gone bad are cancer activators” he indicated from the research he has conducted on GMO products.

He gave the instance of a person dying in 2015 in Spain after which autopsy reports showed that he died from eating GMO rice and tomatoes.

He added that there is a case study of a rabbit which was fed with GMO food developing tumor to confirm the deadly nature of GMO products.

Dr. Nkosana Nartey advised that government enacts a law to regulate GMOs because companies mixing the genes make economic capital out of it and have therefore kicked against labeling the products to enable people differentiate them from organic products.

Meanwhile, the head of Quality Management Unit at the Ministry of Health, Dr Ernest Konadu Asiedu, says he finds nothing wrong with GMO, adding the “how” of use that makes it good or bad.

He says tramadol for instance is a good drug but people abuse the dose which makes it bad at the end of the day.

Dr. Asiedu further advised stakeholders not to cause fear and panic as regard GMO products, despite his admission of the fact that GMOs cause cancer.

  1. What is that Dr. Asiedu talking about? He should keep quiet if does not know what dangers GMOs cause. The tramadol he cited as an example does not wash. Apart from causing cancer what else do we benefit from consuming GMO food.

  2. People need to be very careful because a lot of seeds are either GMO or those GMO plants have polinated organic farms that may be in close proximity. If we are what we eat then……

  3. If we want to accept GMO, we should first of all enforce the labelling of GMOs. Let the consumer have the right information to enable him make choice. Cultivation of those GMO should be regulated to prevent potential transfer of GMO pollen to non-GMO. GMO of non-food crops I support totally but not food crops.

  4. Who is Dr. Nartey? What is his qualification? Because truthfully he sounds like he knows nothing about GMO’s. Bacteria mixed with plant genes? How naive can someone be. Adom please next time bring somebody who knows what they actually talking about not people who want create fear and panic just to make their name.

  5. This is what happens when scientists fail to explain scientific facts to the masses! This so called Dr can’t not even be found on research gate, no research publication to his name, yet he is polluting Ghanaians because D.R. Is attached to his name. He should point us to his research. Research is not when you read stuff online and deduce your own reasoning. It should follow a scientific approach where any other person can follow up and challenge your results using your outline!
