Whether genetically modified or non-genetically modified, no food can be proved to be "absolutely safe". Only a professional chef can ensure that the braised pork served on the table is beyond the standard. For genetically modified crops, this "chef" is a safety certificate.
Who or FAO has a clear conclusion on the safety of genetically modified foods, that is, such products that have passed the safety assessment and are sold in the market are safe. In China, genetically modified foods that have obtained safety certificates, obtained regulatory approval, and entered the market and human consumption chain are safe. This is conclusive.
Most of the crops we eat now are artificially cultivated by human beings, that is, it is a long process to continuously transfer excellent genes for use. Transgenic crops, on the other hand, take genes out by manual operation and then transfer them out by biotechnology, which is more controllable and efficient than traditional breeding methods.
In the field of bioengineering, the application of transgenic technology is regarded as the improvement of technology rather than the creation of new technology; In the United States, which has the most positive attitude towards transgenic technology in the world, the rapid development of transgenic technology has become a fait accompli in the protests of some organizations.
So far, no matter in China or other countries and regions, there have been no cases of food safety problems caused by genetically modified foods.
At present, the transgenic safety test generally selects model mice and rats for high-dose, multi-generation and long-term feeding experiments to evaluate. Based on the 2-year life cycle of rats, the 3-month evaluation cycle is equivalent to its 1/8 life cycle, and the 2-year evaluation is equivalent to its whole life cycle.
To eat or not to eat is just one of the questions; Equally important is the question of knowing and not knowing. Taking the "golden rice" incident that has received much attention before as an example, experts admit that government departments have a long way to go on the road of protecting people's right to know.
Up to this year, transgenic technology has been born for 30 years, and the commercialization of genetically modified food has been 17 years. However, on a global scale, the safety conclusion of genetically modified foods has not yet been reached. As people in the scientific community have repeatedly stressed, genetic modification is just a technology, which is neutral in itself and cannot be said to be safe or unsafe in general. Only by exerting its advantages and strengthening relevant supervision can food safety and biological safety be ensured.
Finally, you can look at the recently listed intelligent household food safety detector, which can detect whether food and water are qualified and edible in a few times.
