There is a mechanism discovered at the gene expression level called RNA interference by miRNA and siRNAs. These are small RNAs and activate the degradation of target mRNA or cause inhibibition of translation of mRNA so that gene expression negatively affected. There is possibility that what we eat can affect the gene expression and cause modification at the genomic and epigenmic level, thus there may be adverse effects who eat genetically modified food or subject to bacterial organisms with gene modifications.
