explains Steven Yannicelli, Ph.D., R.D. In

on a childs health and well-being. - One concern that has been raised is that when the

it may increase its risk of interacting with
immunoglobulin E (IgE), which plays a key role in
certain food allergies. Although not fully

concern, based on two reports in The New England
Journal of Medicine and Trends Biotechnology,
that certain genetically modified organisms

planet. Jewish teachings emphasize the grave
importance of protecting human health.
