So here is a page to answer some of the most popular questions. Pre-decimal money was based on the following; 12 pennies (d) to 1 shilling, 20 shillings to the pound (Â£) so in turn there was 240 pennies (d) in the pound. Pre-decimal currency was sometimes called LSD, which was written Â£-s-d.
Genetically modified food (GM food) is food which has been produced using organisms that have been engineered genetically (GM organisms). GM food either contains GM organisms, or GM organisms have been used to create the food. Common examples include maize, soybean, cotton and rapeseed.enetically modified foods include: soybean, corn, canola, rice, and cotton seed oil. The aims include faster growth, resistance to fungi, production of extra nutrients, or some other beneficial purpose. GM livestock have also been experimentally developed.
When food-crops are genetically modified, (genetically modified food is a misnomer!) one or more genes are incorporated into the crop's genome using a vector containing several other genes, including as a minimum, viral promoters, transcription terminators, antibiotic resistance marker genes and reporter genes. Publications on GM food toxicity are scarce. 2  An article in Science magazine said it all: Health Risks of Genetically Modified Foods: Many Opinions but Few Data.1 In fact, no peer-reviewed publications of clinical studies on the human health effects of GM food exist. 3  Even animal studies are few and far between.
