How to distinguish between GMO and non GMO oils?

01. Distinguish by identification

When buying edible oil, pay attention to the external packaging, generally non-GMO oil will be marked on it, so it is very simple and effective to distinguish.

02. Buy big brands

Generally, those big brands of edible oil will not falsify this, obviously genetically modified but marked as non-genetically modified, so that once there is a problem, their responsibility is greater, so it is better to buy big brands of edible oil.

03. Buy farmhouse oil extraction

The cooking oil I eat is the cooking oil squeezed by the farmer, and I am very relieved to watch the process of turning peanuts or soybeans into edible oil, which will definitely be non-GMO edible oil, unless soybeans or peanuts are genetically modified products, then there is no way.

04. Go to a large supermarket to buy

Many people will buy edible oil in some farmers' markets or small traders and vendors, and the ** of these oils is much cheaper than the oil in large supermarkets, so such oil will also be marked with the word non-GMO, but how to believe that everyone knows how to be true or false. Therefore, if you want to distinguish between right and wrong genetically modified edible oil, you can only believe in the labels on big supermarkets and big brands.

What is the difference between non-GMO oil and GMO oil?

1. Difference in raw materials. Genetically modified oil is mainly edible oil made from genetically modified crops, such as genetically modified soybeans and genetically modified peanuts, while non-genetically modified oil is mainly made from normal non-genetically modified soybeans and peanuts, which is the essential difference;

2. Difference in food safety. Because genetically modified oil is made from abnormal crops such as soybeans or peanuts that have been genetically modified, the food safety of the oil itself cannot be guaranteed, so it is prohibited to sell it in the market, while non-genetically modified oil is made from normal crops such as ordinary soybeans or peanuts, so it can be eaten with confidence;

3. Color difference. Genetically modified oil is generally lighter in color and light yellow, because the genes of the original crops have changed, the volume has become larger or thicker, so the color of the edible oil produced is also lighter, while the color of non-genetically modified oil is generally yellow or dark yellow, the normal oil yield of the genes of the original crops is low, and the color of edible oil is relatively normal;

4. Taste difference. Genetically modified oil generally has a light smell, because the original crops have changed genes, so the smell of edible oil produced is not pure, and the stir-fry is not fragrant, while the smell of non-genetically modified oil is relatively strong, because the normal genes of the original crops are retained, and the nutrition and taste can be fully released.

What is the difference between GMO and non-GMO oils in terms of nutritional content?

It's true that GMO oil is less nutritious than non-GMO oil. Here's why:

1. Amino acids are abnormal. Because genetically modified oil is made of crops such as soybeans or peanuts that have been genetically modified, amino acids and other nutrients will also change after the genetic change of the oil, most of which are unstable in nature, unable to be absorbed normally or the absorption effect is unknown, and it is not nutritious and may be harmful to eat, so genetically modified oil must not be bought;

2. Lack of nutrients. Because the raw materials of genetically modified oil have been genetically modified, the nutritional composition of the food has not only changed, but some of the nutrients are also missing, such as the lack of genetically modified oil beneficial flavonoids for the human body, and the substance is present in normal edible oil, and normal edible oil also contains a large number of unsaturated fatty acids necessary for the human body, these substances have reduced or changed properties in genetically modified oil, so you must not eat genetically modified oil.

The difference between genetically modified oil and non-GMO oil 1, the safety is different. Genetically modified oil, because there may be unforeseen genetic mutations in the process of transgenic soybeans, so the use of genetically modified soybeans may bring harm to the human body. Non-GMO oil, made from natural soybeans, is safer and more reliable.

2. The raw materials are different. Genetically modified edible oil, the raw material of genetically modified edible oil is transgenic crops with herbicide resistance genes or insect resistance genes. Non-GMO cooking oil, the raw material is a natural crop.

3. The nutritional value is different. Genetically modified edible oil, which has relatively low nutritional value, lacks xanthin, which is beneficial to the human body. Non-GMO edible oil has a relatively complete nutritional content and a large number of unsaturated acids required by humans.

GMO oil and non-GMO oil, as we personally, cannot be judged by some characteristics and appearance.

There is an ingredient list on the bottle, and the way to see it with the naked eye is to pick up the oil and shake it gently to see if the oil is viscous.

It is usually marked in the label.

Tell the difference by the product label!

1. Security is different.

Genetically modified edible oil: Because there may be unforeseen genetic mutations in the process of transgenic soybeans, the edible oil produced by eating genetically modified soybeans may bring harm to the human body;

Non-GMO edible oil: natural soybeans are used to make edible oil, which is safer and more reliable;

2. The raw materials are different.

Genetically modified edible oil: The raw material of genetically modified edible oil is transgenic crops with herbicide resistance genes or insect resistance genes;

Non-GMO cooking oil: Non-GMO cooking oil is made from natural crops;

3. The nutritional value is different.

Genetically modified edible oil: Genetically modified edible oil has relatively low nutritional value and lacks xanthin, which is beneficial to the human body;

Non-GMO edible oil: Non-GMO edible oil itself has a relatively complete nutritional content and a large number of unsaturated acids required by humans.

The difference between genetically modified oil and non-GMO oil is that there is a difference in safety; The raw materials are different; The nutritional value is different.

The safety is different: genetically modified edible oil may have unforeseen genetic mutations in the process of genetically modified oil, so the consumption of genetically modified oil may bring harm to people; Non-GMO oils are natural and safer.

Different raw materials: the raw materials of genetically modified edible oil are transgenic crops that are resistant to herbicides or insect resistance; Non-GMO cooking oils are natural crops.

Different nutritional value: the nutritional value of genetically modified edible oil is relatively low, and there is a lack of flavonoids that are beneficial to the human body; The nutrient content of non-GMO edible oil itself is relatively complete, with a large number of unsaturated acids and trace elements required by humans.

Gene is the basic unit of heredity of organisms, and it is a genetic unit that controls the transmission, change and development of biological traits. It can be said that it is the determinant of the diverse characteristics of living organisms, and is the source of the mystery of life. With the help of biochemical means, people take out the genes in the cells of one organism, cut or recombine them in vitro, and then introduce them into the living cells of another organism to change the genetic traits of another organism or create a completely new biological variety, which is called genetic engineering, commonly known as "transgenic".

Genetically modified oil is mainly rich in fat, dust, fatty acid, and there will be some relatively small amounts of genetically modified substances, which cannot be detected by general instruments. It won't hurt to eat a small amount of food.
