According to Xinhua News Agency, not long ago, an economist said in a television interview program that genetically modified corn has allowed rats to grow tumors and even animals in the United States have been banned from feeding genetically modified feed. The issue of the safety of genetically modified foods has once again become a social focus. Some people have questioned whether genetically modified foods cause cancer or people "after sterilization." Foreigners do not eat genetically modified foods? In response, the reporter interviewed some domestic and foreign biotechnologists and industry experts to verify relevant hot issues.
Genetically modified foods cause cancer and infertility?
Some people think that eating GM foods can cause cancer and “sterilizationâ€, and planting GM crops will lead to land scrapping. In this regard, Luo Yunbo, dean of the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering at China Agricultural University, said that these are false statements that have been repeatedly hyped up and have been clarified many times before. Luo Yunbo said that with regard to the French professor’s experiment of feeding rats with genetically modified corn to produce tumors, the European Food Safety Authority has completely rejected its research conclusions; China’s consumption of genetically modified oil is a remark in areas where genetically modified diseases are concentrated because there is no epidemiological investigation. At that time, it was rejected by medical experts; the argument that China's cultivation of genetically modified crops has caused land to be abandoned has long been clarified.
In fact, China's GM cotton planting areas are stable in land productivity and production is normal. Eating genetically modified foods will result in “sterilization†is pure breeding, because Guangxi has never planted and sold genetically modified corn, and the Guangxi University Undergraduate Sexual Health Survey report was mentioned in the rumor. "There is no question of genetic modification at all.
Do Americans eat genetically modified foods?
The reporter specifically asked Max Horzman, the US Department of Agriculture’s adviser. According to Holzman, more than 90% of corn and soybeans in the United States are genetically modified, of which 20% of corn and 40% of soybeans are exported, and the rest are used for domestic consumption. About 70% of processed foods in the U.S. market contain genetically modified ingredients. To date, there have been no safety incidents in the United States due to the consumption of genetically modified foods. Max Holtzman said that the listed GM products have passed the three-year rigorous review of the three departments of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Environmental Protection Agency. The safety has been fully demonstrated, as to whether it is GM foods are not related to their safety, so there is no need to give extra indication on the label.
The long-term investigation by the International Food Information Council (IFIC) also confirms this.
EU "zero tolerance" genetically modified?
One argument is that the safety of transgenic crops has not been confirmed and the EU has even implemented "zero tolerance."
In this regard, Luo Yunbo said that the safety of genetically modified foods is conclusive, that is, all genetically modified foods that have passed safety assessments and obtained safety certificates are safe and can be eaten with confidence. The World Health Organization and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization believe that any genetically modified food that is listed through safety evaluation is as safe as traditional food.
According to Luo Yunbo, Europe is also a region where GM products are imported and eaten more. In 1998, the European Union approved the planting and marketing of genetically modified corn, rapeseed, soybeans, potatoes, etc. in Europe, except for a very small number of feed or industrial uses, most of which are used as food. In 2012, five countries including Spain, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania approved the cultivation of genetically modified crops.
