What kind of food in the supermarket is genetically modified?

March 13, 2010 - She said she prefers natural foods for the synthetic GM foods now sold in supermarkets. "Although the current genetically modified food is nutritious, it is not safe to eat anything, or eat natural and healthy food, which is safe and nutritious

90% of the edible blended oil in the supermarket is containing genetically modified soybean oil, and the ingredient list on the bottle is indicated, so you should take a good look at it when you buy it. Those who know don't buy it. There are also soy sauces made of genetically modified soybeans, or defatted soybean flour, which does not seem to be genetically modified, and will be marked as non-genetically modified, otherwise it seems to be genetically modified.

There are many others, you must read the ingredient list clearly, otherwise it is easy to get hit.

How to resist? The key is that those foods are not genetically modified, as the saying goes, only a thousand days to be a thief, it is impossible to prevent a thief for a thousand days.

Bar friends genetically modified vegetables 1 general.

The following genetically modified foods have been confirmed: 1. Lettuce.

2. Bell peppers. 3. Jade tomato.

4. Purple sweet potato.

5. Africa.

Chatting. Found in the supermarket a lot of food is genetically modified, how.

The dishes that are still in the vegetable market, there are dishes without vegetable taste, beef orange, very big, and the taste is good, not not and turn.

The 10 common genetically modified foods in life are papaya, fruit and corn, cherry tomatoes, red dragon fruit, cotton, tomatoes, rice, potatoes, eggplant, and zucchini.

1. Papaya. 95% of papayas are genetically modified, because when papayas grow naturally, they will encounter a virus called bad class virus, and if they are infected with this virus, most of the papayas will not be harvested.

2. Fruit corn laughs.

Through the hybridization between early-maturing yellow-grained durum corn and white sweet corn, the resulting food is rich in protein, vitamins are higher than ordinary corn nutrients, and the selenium content in addition to the chaos is also relatively rich.

3. Cherry tomatoes.

Cherry tomatoes are actually the small tomatoes we usually see, his taste is similar to the tomatoes we usually eat, but they are much smaller than tomatoes, in fact, he is not a genetically modified fruit, but it is also a kind of tomato.

4. Red heart dragon fruit.

Generally, it is more common to grow red heart dragon fruit in Taiwan, China, and the nutrition of red heart dragon fruit is higher than that of white heart dragon fruit.

5. Cotton. Cotton is a treasure all over the body, cotton seed oil as an important oil crop can be edible, is a commonly planted crop in the world, China is the world's largest cotton production country.

6. Tomatoes. Genetically modified tomatoes were successfully developed and gradually industrialized. At present, there are no genetically modified tomatoes on the market in North America and Europe, and they are also in the stage of safety testing in China.

7. Rice. Genetically modified rice Like most genetically modified foods, rice is constantly being experimented with to make it more resistant to pests. Rice is the world's main staple food, so it makes sense to guarantee the world's rice production.

8. Potatoes. The industry of potatoes as a starch raw material is growing rapidly. In addition to direct consumption, it can also be used to make feed, wine, etc.

9. Eggplant. Genetically modified eggplant is a variety bred in India in 2010 in a program aimed at breeding a plant that is resistant to pests.

10. Zucchini.

There are still a lot of zucchini as the main dish or side dish, and zucchini, a very home-cooked ingredient, is also popular with many people.

Genetically modified food refers to food produced by animals, plants and microorganisms that use genetic engineering technology to modify the genetic composition. According to the Measures for the Hygienic Administration of Genetically Modified Foods, genetically modified foods should be labeled as genetically modified foods to protect the public's right to know and the right to choose.

Judging from the current situation in our country, the proportion of genetically modified food in our country is very small. The production of genetically modified crops in China is divided into two stages: one is that in the early nineties, China's own self-cultivated antiviral tobacco was planted on a large scale, but with export restrictions, the area is now very small.

The largest area of the commercial GM crops that we have actually approved is insect-resistant cotton, which is not a food. The 1997 approved planting area of virus-resistant tomatoes and bell peppers is very small. Therefore, there are very few genetically modified ingredients in domestic food.

However, with the increase in international food import and export, food imported from abroad, especially food imported from the United States, Argentina, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Spain and other countries with relatively large planting areas of genetically modified crops, as well as foods made from soybeans, soybeans, corn, potatoes and tomatoes imported from these countries will inevitably contain a certain proportion of genetically modified ingredients.

Don't worry, because my country has long made regulations for this piece, if it is genetically modified food, there will be a clear mark on the product packaging.

Traditional crops have high agricultural residues, and genetically modified crops do not have many pesticide residues. There are a lot of chemicals in pesticides that harm the reproductive system, can you eat them with confidence?

At present, there has not been a single case of harm to humans and animals in genetically modified food. The Americans themselves have been eating it for more than 10 years.

Transgenic is a technology that precisely introduces foreign genes, which is safer than traditional cross breeding. Contemporary wheat has a full set of goat grass genes, do you eat grass when you eat noodles?

Genetically modified crops can kill insects by themselves, and some people say that insects can kill, so why can't they kill people? You have to think about it carefully, garlic, pepper, and chili pepper can kill insects, why can people eat it?

Some people say that there is absolutely no genetically modified potatoes in Europe, but this is not the case now, the European Union has officially planted genetically modified potatoes on a large scale at the beginning of this year, and potatoes are the "staple food" for Europeans. Why did the EU approve GMO technology? Because, if the EU does not engage in it itself, the Americans will squeeze his market, that's what it is.

Why does the first agricultural document specifically propose the development of genetically modified crops? It is because under the competition of genetically modified varieties in the United States, China's own varieties do not have an advantage, and soybeans in the northeast are very typical examples. Conventional soybeans have low yields and low oil yields.

But the genetically modified soybeans grown by Americans have high yields and high oil yields, which is also low. The Americans' low-grade genetically modified soybeans certainly have an advantage. As a result, soybeans in the Northeast were defeated.

Homosexuals! Think about it, who least wants China to research genetically modified crops? It's those big agricultural countries, those big agricultural companies!

Because they have increased yields through genetically modified technology, improved the quality of agricultural products, and also reduced the input costs of pesticides and fertilizers. After they grow stronger, of course, they don't want China to use advanced genetically modified technology to develop its own agriculture!

Just as the Boxers had a fear of trains and cars, most Chinese today have a deep fear of GMO technology. Hope you're not one of them.

At present, many vegetables and fruits on the market are genetically modified, such as tomatoes, peppers, bell peppers, papayas, bananas, etc., which are sold in bulk in farmers' markets, and even farmers themselves do not know whether they are genetically modified. Farmers don't understand what genetically modified organisms are.

Many, many, almost those brightly colored, out-of-season, frost-resistant vegetables and fruits, etc., I am afraid that rice will also produce genetically modified rice. Now corn, tomatoes, peppers are more common.
