Authority: 0

She is a Tik Tok influencer who has no relevance in the farming and chemical field. She states "if you ask someone from the 1970s" or "farmers would say" instead of siting real people or actual professionals.

Motivation: 0

She opens with "why do farmers grow GMOs" yet only states the benefits that GMOs gain from corn. She says that farmers use GMOs purely to reduce pesticide use yet do not show the reduction in pesticide use across all plants. She is using this bias to promote her TikTok account "thefarmbabe" and because she is located at an Iowa corn field (how convenient). Her claim appears very bias, and claims farmers do not use insecticides at all.

Reliability: 0

She shows a Chart of the BT trait in corn but provides no information backing the reduction of insecticide use. She is contradictory saying farmers no longer have to spray insecticides but, that they "were using a much stronger higher harsher dose", implying that they are still used. She does not site sources or have any professional speak. She has no links or relevant screenshots, only images and a video of her talking.

Authority: 0/3

The speaker is a non-expert who is restating information that he heard from a "homie" (whose credentials were not established).

Motivation: 1/3

While it doesn't seem like the speaker is trying to promote an agenda that would personally benefit him, it does seem like the creator has a strong personal bias against GM food, implying that it is unsafe to eat among other inflammatory claims

Reliability: 0/3

The only source mentioned in this claim is anecdotal information that came from a friend. The claims made in the video also contradict authoritative sources.

Overall score: 1/6

The evaluation that the group decided to give this video was a 0 across all categories. The speaker was a regular grocery shopper who compared the different natural fruits to the GMO fruits, she only explained the size different and to not buy GMO products. She never explained why to stop buying them. She didn't state any information on why it's bad, only showed the visuals. Perhaps, some people prefer on getting GMO fruits because of it's size, other shoppers may like the size of it. There was no reliability that the tiktoker provided, she only made a claim but didn't state her reasonings.

The social media post we chose is a score of 3. We scored the post as a one on the authority scale because the account is verified, and the people running the account consistently post about GMO foods, what foods are bad for us to consume, and why. We scored the post as a one on the motivation scale because it is unclear where the post's intention comes from. While no clear agenda is being pushed, there is no proper balance of reliable information. Lastly, we scored the post as one on the reliability scale. The post cited "Environmental Sciences Europe" for one claim but did not cite a specific article or research.

Overall, we did not find this post trustworthy, and many of the bold claims would need to be looked into further through personal research.

That couldn’t be further from the truth. And it’s definitely not the case with the 2nd most popular vegetable oil in the country.

I don’t use a lot of oil in general, it’s just not necessary. But if you are going to use vegetable oil, please don’t let it be canola oil 🙏

This GMO junk is full of trans fat and is highly processed. Sure it’s cheap, but it comes at a high cost to your health.

Our overall score for this social media post is 0! This post originates from a not well-known or verified social media account, with a spokesperson who's well-dressed, claiming to be a doctor. There is no confirmation that this person is truly a verified doctor, so without any proper credentials, we give the authority ranking a 0.

For motivation, this page appears to be promoting an agenda of supposed "Health secrets" that, assuming from the page name, want to tell you secret methods to get healthier. The "doctor" in the video says GMOs are pesticides that are intended to kill animals, and Humans are inherently animals, so they must not be good for us either. This statement does not seem factual at all and would not make sense if it were true! This gives motivation a 0 too.

Finally for Reliability, there are ZERO sources shown, linked, or even mentioned during the short-span of this post. Without any sources to back these claims, they do not sound trustworthy at all. To make matters worse, the claims are not expanded on in depth either, so they really are just throwing things to the wall to see what sticks. Reliability is definitely a 0, giving a whopping 0 as the overall score.

For authority, we would rate the post a 1, as the author includes the title "Dr." which suggests some level of expertise, but it is unclear whether the individual has relevant credentials in genetics or food science. For motivation, we would rate it a 1 as well, as the content seems to present information, though it is difficult to determine if it remains fully neutral or if there’s an underlying agenda. The reliability would be rated a 0, as the video does not cite any primary sources or studies to support the claims made. Overall, we would give this post a score of 2, as it falls short in terms of providing authoritative, well-sourced, and balanced information, and could benefit from more detailed references and a clearer presentation of opposing viewpoints.​

Authority: 0. MeatHealth is a business, not a government or nonprofit organization. It is run by the dentist Dr. Stock, so while he is a medical professional, he is not a dietician or geneticist who has in-depth knowledge on bioengineered food and its effects. ​

Motivation: 0. MeatHealth has a clear agenda to promote their own food and diet programs. They post about it in the caption of the video, and their website is full of subscription programs. ​

Reliability: 1. Despite proving that bioengineered products are present in Aldi food items, they don't do a good job of proving why they are bad. This leaves out critical information on why these foods should be avoided. This post does not cite any studies or primary sources on the danger of bioengineered products.​

Overall score: 1. This source is not trustworthy​

For authority we would rate it a 1 as the author was an activist with seemingly no other credentials. For motivation we would rate it a 0 as the author has a clear intent and does not include any opposing information or viewpoints. The reliability is also pretty low with a score of 0 as although the caption does go into a fairly lengthy explanation it fails to cite any sources at all. In conclusion we would give this post a score of 1 as it lacks severely in certain areas and could be much improved.

Axsal: Keeper Of His People 𓋹 on Instagram: "Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) & Poisons in Foods - from the @YUSALIFE Guide to Balance l: Mind Body Spirit - Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are organisms such as plants, animals and microorganisms, whose genetic characteristics have been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination (mainly formed in laboratories). Food and feed that contain or consist of such GMOs (or are produced from GMOs) are called genetically modified (GM) food/feed. The European legislation on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) has been in place since the early 1990s and aims to ensure that GMOs and GMO-derived products that are produced or marketed within the EU meet the highest safety standards whilst ensuring harmonised regulation, thereby ensuring the effective functioning of the internal market. Genetically modified foods are absolutely everywhere, and only a small minority are aware of what’s occurring behind the scenes of the food industry. There are a handful of corporations at work tampering with the food supply, crossing genetics and DNA, which in turn destroys the natural food chain. It is crucial that human beings consume the most natural foods for the evolution of DNA and genetic coding, as explained in the previous chapter. Mixing these modified foods within the cellular structure of the human organism will wreak havoc on your natural genetic code and can trigger genetic imbalances and inherited weaknesses. The long term effects of consuming genetically modified foods and crops is unknown. The public serve as the guinea pigs of GMO experimentation. There have not been sufficient studies about medium-or long-term health, as there has not been enough time since the first commercial sales of genetically modified produce. The very first commercial sale of genetically modified foods took place only twenty years ago, in the year 1994.

Total score = 3. Dr. Daniel, the author of this post, has many relevant credentials ranging from various university degrees to many certifications in nutrition, however there is no record of where these certifications came from. Also, his doctorate is in chiropractic not nutrition, so we question his authority on functional medicine. For these reasons we scored him a 1 for authority. One trip to Dr. Daniel's website further invalidated his claims as we realized a large part of his platform is dedicated to selling supplements and tele-health consultations. This led us to question the potential biases on his page however this specific post was relatively straight to the point and didn't work to promote his brand. That being said we rated him a 1 for Motivation. Finally, this specific post utilizes several graphs and charts but only cites primary sources for one of them. Also there are no descriptions included to help the audience understand the information being shared. For this reason we scored Dr. Daniel a 1 for reliability.

Daniel Gonzalez on Instagram: "Glyphosate is a widely used herbicide, and concerns have been raised about its possible effects on human health.

Any genetically modified food will contain large amounts of glyphosate. 

Over half of all samples of soy (67.4%), wheat (47.8%), rice (80%), and corn (58.6%) contained glyphosate residues. 

Basically any and all cereal based products, potato chips, corn based products, breads, pastas, etc. contain large amounts of glyphosate.

However, the above foods were not the worst offenders.

A staggering 95.9% of cherry fruit/juice and 90.8% of apple fruit/juice tested positive for glyphosate. 

As for grape fruit/juice and raisins, 92.8% of samples were found to be contaminated, while 92.5% of strawberries were also tainted. 

As a group, almost four out of five samples (79%) of fruit or fruit products tested positive for pesticides.

If you want to reverse your type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance, you absolutely need to avoid these products and it's why I suggest eating Meat, Fat and "organic" vegetables as often as possible."

We chose to review a video on YouTube about GMOs and food safety. For authority, we gave it a two because the video is by the FDA. For motivation, we gave it a zero because it is clear that they are leaning more towards promoting GMOs and saying that they are not related to any diseases. For reliability, we gave it a two because it is from a reputable source (FDA) and the points and facts referenced in the video all go into more detail on their website which they have linked in the description.

Our group chose to review a TikTok video regarding genetically modified foods. We assigned a score of 2 in the authority category since the presenter is a doctor with relevant expertise. For motivation, we also rated it a 2 because she clearly explains the meaning of GMOs and provides a brief overview of how they function. However, we rated reliability a 1, as we are uncertain about her actual credentials as a doctor and whether her explanations about GMOs are truthful. In total, we would assign this video a score of 5.

Genetically Modified Foods by Dr. Trupti Gokani  Genetically modified (GM) foods are often a topic of debate, and understanding them is crucial for making informed choices about our diet. 🌾GM foods have been altered from their natural state, changing their chemical structure. Take strawberries as an example: genetically modified strawberries might look big, vibrant, and perfectly uniform in every way. 🍓 In contrast, organic strawberries often vary in size and color, appearing less 'perfect' but more natural. The problem with genetically modified foods, like these perfect-looking strawberries, is that our bodies can tell the difference. 🧬 Our digestive systems and cells are incredibly intelligent and can detect when something has been altered. The body may not recognize these 'enhanced' foods as authentic, which is why it's important to choose non-modified, natural foods. 🍲 Consuming foods in their original form ensures that our bodies receive them as intended by nature, without any artificial alterations. Remember, sometimes the most imperfect-looking fruit is the most natural and healthiest option for your body. 🌱 The Natural Law is streaming now.

The over all source of the tiktok comes from an award winning film director whose here to expose the industries secrtes' —though not medically schooled, credentialed, nor trained, this is seen as an unreliable source, even though information may be correct.

The motivs' of the tiktok is clear—creative a solid unified satement, issues, expiremtnes, and hypothesis. Due to this, this sector will receive a score of 2.

But because the writer of the film—source for the tiktok—is an award winning director whose not medically schooled, credentialed, nor trained, the reliablity is difficult to adheer to due to the fact this can be seem as a "baseless" claim" or personal and biased research—though its' built upon credible sources, journals, and experiments—thus, reciving a 1, for being secondaried sources.

Biotech on Instagram: "Britain's NHS Develops Miniature Capsule Cameras to Test for Cancer 📷👨‍⚕️🇬🇧 
🌐 ES

The National Health Service in Britain has developed miniature cameras which patients can swallow as a test for cancer. This imaging technology is equal to a pill in size and can provide a diagnosis in hours. 

Also known as colon capsule endoscopy, these cameras would mean that patients can access cancer checks at home which is in stark contrast to traditional endoscopy, which requires patients to be admitted to a hospital and a tube to be inserted. The capsule endoscopy normally takes five to eight hours and provides full images of the bowel with information sent to a data recorder in a shoulder bag. 

An initial group consisting of 11,000 NHS patients will receive the capsule cameras across the UK.

Biotech on Instagram: "Genetically Modified Tomatoes Produce Medicine to Treat Parkinson’s Disease🍅🧬🧠
 
Levopda, or L-DOPA, is said to be the most effective medication for Parkinson’s Disease, but at the cost of $2 for the daily dose, it isn’t accessible to some who are affected by the disease. In instances, the chemically synthesized L-DOPA results in side effects like nausea or behavioral complications.  
 
Researchers from The John Innes Centre (@johninnescentre ) in the UK engineered tomatoes to produce L-DOPA to serve as a more accessible form of the medication. They inserted a gene from beetroots that produces L-DOPA in the process of producing pigments into tomatoes hoping to achieve higher levels of L-DOPA to extract later and purify in later stages. 
 
With limited natural sources, L-DOPA is mainly produced through chemical synthesis. It is produced from tyrosine and a precursor to various  neurotransmitters produced by the adrenal glands. 
 
Since the tomatoes are easier to cultivate and grow in larger quantities than other sources of L-DOPA, it could serve as a way to obtain the medicine cheaper.
 
The levels of L-DOPA in the genetically altered tomatoes were comparable to levels in other  L-DOPA - accumulating plants, allowing researchers to conclude that they can serve as a viable option for producing L-DOPA. 
 
What are your thoughts on genetically modified food (or organisms in general)?

+We calculated this score for authority because she didn’t cite the sources in the video, and the account uploaded has no credibility at all. For motivation, it’s clear that she wants to push an agenda for her students. For reliability, she cited no sources, so we gave her a 0.

For this evaluation of this post, which covers how to identify GMO produce we gave it a rating of a 3 as there are no citations to where the author found their info. The only credibility that this account has is that it is linked to a non-profit organization where the author is a certified holistic nutritionist. To break down our ranking we gave the post an authority rating of 1 due to the author's occupation. A 2 for motivation as the author is likely just trying to provide his audience with a way to avoid GMO foods. However, we gave reliability a score of 0 as there are conflicting sources that state as of recently GE foods must be labeled in the United States.

EndSickness.org on Instagram: "In the USA, we consume more genetically modified food than any other country.. While other countries require GMO products to be labeled, here in the USA, that is NOT the case. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
For this reason, I wanted to share this post to help you avoid GMO's. Keep in mind, these foods were genetically altered to resist pests, NOT increase nutrition. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Interesting Facts about GMO Foods⁠⠀
⁠⠀
- Insect resistance to pesticides increased 500% in the last decade, and we have increased use of these chemicals every single year⁠⠀
⁠⠀
- Breeding two plants together can sometimes cause a significant increases in plant toxin production, genetics clash which could effect humans⁠⠀
⁠⠀
- By altering the biochemistry of any food, you then change it's protein structure, this then effects how your immune system recognizes or reacts to it⁠⠀
⁠⠀
- Though there isn't DIRECT proof that GMO's hurt humans, there has also never been a long term study performed⁠⠀
⁠⠀
⁠⠀
In summary, avoid the foods 5 digit codes that start with 8. The reality is, no one really knows how GMO's will effect long term health. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
What we do know though is this... 20% of the USA has an autoimmune disease, and 60% have a chronic illness😮.. .these  numbers are higher than any other country, and coincidentally, we also consume the most GMOs.⁠⠀

For our evaluation, we would rank this video a 3 overall. In the category of authority, we ranked them a 0. The video was made by a creator who is a part of a blog that provides pop culture information, which makes them non-experts because they don't have the proper credentials. In the Motivation category, we ranked them a 2. They provide information on both the good and bad sides of GMO foods which makes them balanced. In the reliability category, we ranked them a 1 because they have articles displayed in the background but don’t provide enough information about them as a company who would specialize in analyzing these things.

Score: 2

Instagram user has some relevant credentials as a doctor with certifications in nutrition which can be found on his website. This post however does push an agenda as they are highly against GMOs and are warning the public of ingesting these foods. Only has one source represented through a screenshot.

Dr. Nick Wilson on Instagram: "New USDA labeling for genetically modified foods started Jan 1, 2022. Foods that previously were labeled as containing "genetically engineered" (GE) ingredients or "genetically modified organisms" (GMOs) will now be labeled as "bioengineered," or come with a phone number or QR code guiding consumers to more information online. As most consumers are not familiar with the term “bioengineered”, this step is certainly not a move towards increased transparency. And as unbelievable as it might seem, the [sold out] Food and Drug Administration maintains that eating chemically and genetically modified foods poses no risk to human health (yes, that is actually their official position along with the National Academy of Sciences). Be extra aware when purchasing apples, corn, eggplants, papayas, pineapples, potatoes, and salmon (yes, salmon!). Canola is also on the list and canola oil is a common oil in many packaged foods. Avoid it!!"

Score = 0. The account that uploaded the video is a nonexpert, TikTok user who advocates for health, wellness, and GBS. The woman speaking in the video is an Australian promoter who advertises unsupported health practices with no credentials. The content clearly promotes personal beliefs and objectives that contradicts information in numerous authoritative sources and does not cite any primary sources.​

For the evaluation of authority, our group decided to rank this source a 1 since the information is given by a Registered Dietitian, but also says in the caption that the post is a 'Paid Partnership', which shows that the source may be told what to say by the company that is paying her to make the video. For motivation, we evaluate this source as a 2 since she begins the video explaining to her audience if GMO's are safe or not for themselves and/or children. For reliability, we think this source is a 0 since there are no cited primary sources and other sources are more comprehensible.

For the evaluation of GMO seedless watermelons, we decided to give this video a rank of 3. For authority a rank of 1 was given simply because this creator is a farmer, so he does have some knowledge on crops. On the other hand, the creator is not an expert. For motivation a rank of 2 was given because the content did seem informational and easy to comprehend. All the information given may not be true but was persuasive to the audience. Lastly under the reliability categorey a rank of zero was given. There weren't any cited credible sources given to prove this information

This videos ranking fell under a rating of 4. This is because for authority we ranked it as a 1, for motivation a 2, and reliability a 1. Authority was a ranked a 1 because the sources weren’t as reliable since it was only 1 that was well recognized and is not considered an expert analysis, for motivation a 2 because the topic was clear and concise and stayed informative about the topic at hand, and finally reliability was a 1 because there are much better sources that could’ve been used.

The social media post falls on a score of 4. The authority was a 1 because the person talking was a nonexpert stating relevant credentials. The motivation was a 2 because it was clear and he did sound like he knew what he was talking about when he brought up companies and how they used GMOs for fish. The reliability was a 1 because although some claims were spoken about the company, their research, and cited. It wasn't as comprehensive.​

This post falls under a range of 5-6. It is a very trustworthy source that explains many different points and concerns that the reader may have had before reading this article. It's informational, uses lots of evidence from other .gov and .org websites, and overall, just proves a good point that GMOs are an issue, especially with corn production.​
