On December 25, 2023, a announcement issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural China in my country has attracted widespread attention.
In the announcement, the production and operation license of 85 domestic corporate crop seeds was approved and issued, including 37 corn variet GM soybean variety.
This is the first batch of genetically modified soybeans and corn seeds in my country to obtain production and operation permits. The term "genetically modified" appeared again in the publics vision.
There are many negative evaluations about it. There is a saying on the Internet to say that genetically modified genes are things that Chinese talents eat. They have been eliminated abroad. Is this true?
1. Americans "dont eat" genetically modified genetically modified genes?Only Chinese talents eat?
GMI is the use of engineering technology to transfer one or more genes of one organism to another organism. EssenceAt present, genetically modified technology is applied in many aspects such as medicine, agriculture, and industry. For example, corn, rice, cotton and other crops have better anti -insect ability and herbicide capabilities through genetically modified technology. Obviously improved.
Wan Jianmin, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering said that Crafts cultivated by genetically modified technology has better insecticide, disease resistance, herbicide resistance, anti -resistance, anti -resistance The excellent traits of the inverse can greatly reduce the amount of pesticides during the cultivation process, and the labor cost will also decrease, which can improve the output and quality of the crop .
The so-called American people do not eat genetically modified food, which is a lie that cannot be scrutinized.
80%of the soybeans consumed in the United States are genetically modified . GM information, so people feel that there is no genetically modified food in the United States.
The United States is the worlds largest soybean producer and trading country, and they also consume them by themselves.Domestic soybeans in the United States are mainly used to squeeze soybean oil and soybean proteins for food additives. my country imported soybean is used for feed soybean meal and edible soybean oil.
It is not just that my country eats genetically modified food. Everyone does not have to mention genetically modified changes in daily life.
?
Many people have seen rumors that genetically modified foods can cause cancer on the Internet. Among them, the most widely circulated is genetically modified soybean oil. Can genetically modified soybean oil be eaten?
As early as 2016, the Ministry of Agriculture had convened relevant persons in charge and authoritative scientists to respond to the focus of genetically modified genes, which mentioned whether genetically modified agricultural products were safe.
The spokesman said that many international professional institutions surveyed the safety of genetically modified products. The results showed that the approved to be available to the market is safe .From the perspective of production and consumer practice, the commercialization of genetically modified crops has been planted for 30 billion acres, and there are no food safety incidents.
If you have to say, what is the difference between genetically modified soybean oil and non-genetically soybean oil, mainly in two aspects:
< P ID = "35rikte8"> First is that the oil content of genetically modified soybeans is higher than that of non -rotary genes ; the second is the difference in taste , and genetically modified soybeans are not as good as non -genetic.Because the genetically modified ingredients are in protein, the protein is separated in the oil cake in the oil. After refining, it almost does not contain protein, that is, there is no genetically modified component.As for the problem of whether the genetically modified food is sensitive and produce a drug -resistant strain, some studies have found that genes introduced by genes will synthesize new proteins, and the immune system will cause new immunoglobulin. Some people may have an allergic reaction.In addition, in order to better detect whether the genetically modified gene is successful, the antibiotic resistance gene may be used as a marked gene to be applied to the genetically modified technology. After consumption, people may produce drug -resistant strains.
But the relevant departments will undergo rigorous allergic testing before the genetically modified food is listed, which can ensure that most people are not sensitive, and there is no need to worry too much about it.
Three, these three types of genetically modified food, daily common
Dai Jingrui, a corn genetic breeding scholar and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out in an interview that About 80 ~ 90%of Chinese people have eaten genetically modified food .my countrys imported soybean is basically genetically modified, of which 60 ~ 70%have been made into animal feed or processing into other foods.
Even if you deliberately avoid genetically modified foods, you will accidentally come in inadvertently. It can be said that genetically modified foods have completely penetrated into our lives.Moreover, these types of genetically modified foods are very common in daily life:
1. GM Tomato
GMG tomato is Many countries are cultivating, and their safety can be guaranteed. As long as it is purchased in regular places, there is no need to worry.
2. GM Papaya
The genetically modified, compared to ordinary papaya nutrients, contain vitamin A, carotene, and various trace elements.
3, GM pumpkin
There are also a lot Nutritional ingredients required by the human body.
For genetically modified food, we must treat it scientifically. Whether it accepts it is a personal choice problem, but we cannot blindly stigmatize genetically modified food.
