Is GMO food the devil or an angel?

From the current situation, it is difficult to determine whether genetically modified food is an angel or a demon, because there are no reports on whether genetically modified food is harmful to people, so it is difficult to be sure, but at least I don't like genetically modified food.

I think that genetically modified food is neither an angel nor a devil, it is an inevitable product of the development of human science to the present, and can effectively eliminate human garbage.

The devil in the garb of an angel is not much different from the chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, preservatives, etc., and the words are similar. GMO is nothing more than a sequel.

There are pros and cons. Genetically modified foods have a higher nutritional value and meet the nutrients needed by the body. Transgenic organisms will cause changes in trait genes, causing changes in body genes and causing the occurrence of hereditary diseases.

Genetically modified foods are currently widely used in feed, edible oil and other fields. Whether it is an "angel" or a "demon" cannot be judged because the time is still too short to see its harm. But the benefits are obvious to all, so even if people are worried, they still can't shake its strong position.

Those who think it is an angel should eat themselves, and the demon incarnation is abandoned is a healthy common sense!

Just like nuclear power generation technology, the benefits of nuclear energy use are clean and cheap. But once it gets out of control, there will be even greater disasters. Humanity cannot be denied nuclear technology because of its danger.

Rather, it is through the lessons learned from the nuclear accident to find the reliability of safe operation. Genetically modified foods should also be recognized in this way. It is believed that in the near future, genetically modified food will definitely benefit mankind.

Humans have lived with viruses since there were human beings, and they have never been as scary as this coronavirus. Some say that it is a leak from the Debao laboratory, but I don't know if it's true or not, at least it's not sure it's fake. It's horrible.

We are being forced to accept genetically modified foods. If scientists have no bottom line, mankind will eventually be destroyed in the development of its own science and technology.

Recently, food safety issues have been repeatedly reported on the first page, mad cow disease has frightened Europe and even the whole world, and the United Kingdom has paid a heavy price for it; In today's relatively abundant food market, fears about food shortages have largely been replaced by concerns about food safety. Over the past 100 years, traditional breeding techniques have provided humans with many high-yield and high-quality grains, fruits and meat, poultry, eggs and milk, but they have not exchanged genes between species that are far related, let alone crossed between plants and animals, or between higher organisms and microorganisms. Genetic engineering is a kind of hybridization that breaks through the natural interspecific barriers, so that human genes may be inserted into bacteria, and cow genes may be inserted into human potatoes or tomatoes.

The advent of genetically engineered food is undoubtedly a great achievement of human conquest of nature. But as a great man once pointed out, every achievement of man's conquest of nature is then subject to nature's retribution. Are these unnatural foods harmful to humans?

Despite the many benefits of applying GM technology to the production or manufacture of food, it is important to analyze the expected and unintended effects of GM when assessing the safety of food. Because genetically modified foods are different from traditional foods of the same organisms, changes in genetic traits may affect the protein composition in cells, resulting in changes in ingredient concentrations or the generation of new metabolites, which may lead to the production of toxic substances or cause allergic symptoms in people, and even some people suspect that genes will be transferred in the human body, resulting in unimaginable consequences. Potential hazards of genetically modified foods include:

new toxins and allergens produced in food; other harmful health effects caused by unnatural foods; Chemicals applied to crops increase water and food contamination; Herbicide-resistant weeds will produce; The spread of disease crosses species barriers; loss of biodiversity of crops; Disturbance of the ecological balance. For example, a genetically engineered soybean has been found to cause severe allergic reactions; The food additive tryptophan, produced with genetically engineered bacteria, has killed 37 people and disabled more than 1,500. It was recently discovered that milk in many supermarkets in the United States contains genetically engineered bovine growth hormone that has been administered in pastures.

Tomatoes produced by a well-known genetic engineering company are shelf-stable and easy to transport, but they contain antibiotic-resistant genes that can remain in the human body. Man-made properties and inevitable imperfections will be passed down from generation to generation, affecting other related and unrelated organisms, which will never be reclaimed or controlled, with consequences that are currently incalculable. It has been argued that genetic engineering poses a greater danger than the technology used so far.

Because many of the effects of damage are irreversible, we must prevent them from happening. Such safety issues have attracted the attention of advanced biotechnology countries such as Europe and the United States, and legislation has been made for the safety of such products and the assessment of the impact of biotechnology on the environment.
