China people used to squeeze cooking oil in rural workshops, which was healthier. The incidence of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes in general people is low.
Since a brand imported genetically modified soybeans from the United States in the late 1990s and introduced edible oil in small packages, the incidence of cardiovascular diseases and obesity in China has soared in the past decade. The number of diabetic patients has risen from the initial hundreds of thousands to the present 1 100 million. It can be said that genetically modified foods have contributed a lot.
With regard to genetically modified foods, the state has only liberalized the field of edible oil. In other aspects, such as crops, they are still in the stage of scientists' laboratories and have not liberalized their market access. Therefore, most of the food we eat should be safe.
