Is there a problem with genetically modified foods? How to treat genetically modified foods

This is still controversial academically! The jury is out at the moment!

The human body is a complex system, and whether genetically modified foods are harmful or not requires accurate experimental evidence to be convincing!

Assuming that even if the probability of genetically modified food is very low, think about it, if it is genetically modified rice or wheat, you eat it every day, you will always run into it, right?

Do you believe what the Ministry of Agriculture says? I don't believe it anyway!

The Ministry of Agriculture said that genetically modified food has no safety problems and put forward basic development guidelines.

According to the data, last year, 29 countries in the world approved the planting of genetically modified crops, and 59 countries approved the listing of genetically modified crops, and so far, genetically modified food has not "not occurred a confirmed food safety problem".

The data also said that most people have four main misunderstandings about genetically modified products, one is that the agricultural products we eat are natural, in fact, most of the agricultural products produced at present have been genetically improved; It is the same to think that only genetically modified products have undergone gene transfer, in fact, a large number of gene transfers have been carried out in cross-breeding; It is believed that it is safe to divide the genetically modified, but in fact the safety is relative, for example, some people are allergic to milk, and eating uncooked beans will be poisoned; Organisms that are thought to be good for human health are good for all living things, but this is not absolute, for example, garlic is good for people, but it can kill insects.

According to the data, at present, the genetically modified agricultural products that Chinese consumers come into contact with on a daily basis mainly include cotton and processed products, soybean oil, soybean products, rapeseed oil, papaya, etc. Unlike the European Union and other countries that adopt "comprehensive mandatory labeling" for genetically modified products and the United States for "voluntary labeling", China currently adopts "partial mandatory labeling" for genetically modified products.

For the pace of commercialization of transgenic technology, the data is clear, and the basic policy for the development of transgenic technology in China is to "accelerate research, promote application, standardize management, and scientific development".

The above is from the library.

As for whether there is or is no biological harm, it remains to be seen. You can refer to the relevant report of Academician Yuan Longping's views on genetically modified organisms.

The issue of the safety of genetically modified foods is mainly a disagreement between the public and scientists:

Scientists generally believe that GMOs are safe, and scientists prove GM safety by "substantial equivalence", that is, if an ingredient is present in natural food, then that ingredient is also safe in GM crops. But ordinary people do not approve of this method, they hope that scientists can prove that there is no problem after eating genetically modified food in the n generation or a hundred years later, but in fact, this is impossible for scientific experts, because according to this logic, there is no problem after a hundred years, it does not mean that there will be no problem after a thousand years.

People want food to be absolutely safe, but in fact, no food, including natural food, can be guaranteed to be 100% safe, for example, many people are naturally allergic to seafood, and I myself am a potato allergy. Under strict approval conditions, scientists can basically guarantee that genetically modified foods are not more risky than natural foods.

In addition, there are suspicions that genetically modified crops will produce unknown toxic components, which scientists believe is speechless, which is technically unrealistic.

There is no problem with the ** door, they only have money in their eyes, we are just experiments, anyway, there are many people.

China has long been a complete failure in genetically modified food, and in the future, at most the quality of the Chinese will be lower, and the population will be smaller.

There is a problem with genetically modified foods, because the canteens of the children's schools in the agricultural sector never use genetically modified foods.

Of course there is, that's not normal.

In fact, genetic recombination in nature has never stopped, and the common grains that humans grow today are the result of thousands of years of natural and artificial selection. When we eat these foods, we are eating the disease resistance genes and various other genes from the wild relatives of this food, which the average person is not aware of. Traditional cross-breeding introduces thousands of new genes, many of which are unknown to humans and what the consequences will be.

GM technology, on the other hand, simply adds one or two new genes for known traits to crop varieties that are already commonly cultivated, so it is more efficient at breeding new varieties without necessarily having a greater risk than traditional breeding. According to reports, including baby food, genetically modified foods are currently close to 4,000 kinds on the U.S. market, and 200 million people eat them, and there have been few reports on genetically modified food safety in the past ten years. So far, tens of millions of hectares of genetically modified crops have been commercialized around the world, and there have been no definite environmental safety concerns.

Genetically modified technology is a new cutting-edge biotechnology that has great potential to increase food production, reduce pesticide use, and produce healthy foods with more nutrients. There is concern among the public, mainly because they fear that it will be used incorrectly. Some scholars believe that, like any food, the safety of genetically modified foods needs to be treated carefully and strictly managed, and the long-term impact of genetically modified crops on the ecological environment needs to be more tracked.

In the face of genetically modified food, what we need is a strict food safety control system to stop the unauthorized addition of genetically modified food ingredients in a timely manner. In addition, we must also have a rigorous scientific attitude, and we cannot one-sidedly reject genetically modified products.

From the China.com community.

The large-scale application of genetically modified crops in the world has been more than 14 years, and the planting area, crop types, processed food types and edible populations have expanded year by year, but due to the implementation of standardized management and scientific evaluation by various countries, hundreds of millions of hectares of land around the world are planted with genetically modified crops every year, and hundreds of millions of people eat genetically modified food every year. The 2004 FAO report on the state of food and agriculture mentions a consensus that GM products on the market are safe to use, and not as scary as some people portray. Second, the methods used to test the safety of GM products currently on the market are also scientifically appropriate, including in China and around the world.

Third, to date, no verifiable cases of toxic or nutritionally detrimental effects from the consumption of foods processed from genetically modified crops have been found in the world. Millions of people have consumed genetically modified crops, processed foods, and have not found any adverse effects.

What to think about genetically modified foods? Experts say so, increase knowledge.

Genetically modified foods are very good, they can reduce the use of chemical pesticides, and eating natural biological foods is much better than eating pesticide residues.

Exterminate the country and the species. Terrible population control.

Why is this asked? Is it a competition? Tianjin's bar.
