What is genetic engineering?All living organisms are made up of cells that contain a substance called DNA
(deoxyribonucleic acid). The structure of DNA molecules, whose units are called genes, contains information that is used by cells as a "recipe" for the organism. That is, the
characteristics of any living thing are determined by the information in the DNA of its genes.
In the last twenty years, scientists discovered that DNA is interchangeable among animals, plants, bacteria, and other organisms. In addition to using traditional breeding methods of
improving plants and animals through crossbreeding and selection, scientists in some cases can now transfer the genes that determine many desirable traits from one plant or animal to another. The transfer of DNA is done by various methods, such as direct injection of cells
with DNA or literally shooting cells with DNA-covered particles from a special gun. Another widely-used method is to insert the DNA into specially modified bacteria or viruses that carry
it into cells they infect.
Regardless of which method is used, the general process of transferring DNA from one organism to another is called genetic engineering. Almost any desirable trait found in nature
can, in principle, be transferred into any chosen organism. A plant or animal modified by genetic engineering to contain DNA from an external source is called transgenic.

High Fructose Corn Syrup Monday, Jan. 26, 2009 (Health Day News)
Almost half of the tested samples of commercial high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) contained mercury.
-Mercury is toxic in all of its forms.
HFCS is the first or second highest labeled ingredient, according to two new U.S. studies.
On the average, Americans consume about 12 teaspoons per day of HFCS, but teens and other high consumers can take 80 percent more HFCS than average.
