Recently, "non-genetically modified" edible oils have been marked by a sky-high price, which has caused widespread public concern. It seems that as long as it is affiliated with "non-genetically modified", it is possible to start from the point of view of the seat, allowing consumers to pay for "safety" voluntarily. This seemingly rational behind is hidden.
A few days ago, the Ministry of Agriculture and experts made it clear that genetically modified and non-genetically modified products are essentially equal, and safety is in conclusive. Future issues of genetic and non-genetically modified genes will be treated rationally.
Ministry of Agriculture: Transgenics are as Safe as Non-GMOs!
On October 16, 2014, the International Symposium on the Development Status and Future Prospects of Global Genetically Modified Crops, jointly organized by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Sciences, was held in Huazhong Agricultural University. A total of more than ten countries from around the world participated in the conference.
At the seminar, Pete Levin, an academician of the American Academy of Sciences, said that the number of people who have consumed genetically modified foods in the world exceeds billions, and there has been no case of human and animal consumption of genetically modified foods.
According to Jian Jianping, director of the Division of Genetically Modified Management and Intellectual Property of the Department of Education and Science of the Ministry of Agriculture, to obtain the Ministry of Agriculture's genetically modified safety certificate, it needs to be tested and reviewed by professional and authoritative organizations, including 12 member units of the Inter-ministerial Joint Meeting; The recommended composition of the Safety Committee, the Standards Committee and the current 40 dual-certified, qualified testing organizations. It is safe to obtain genetically modified foods with multiple safety assessments and can be safely consumed.
After the seminar, Xu Zhihong represented the scientists of various countries and read out the eight-point consensus reached at the meeting. The consensus stated that GM crops have ensured the sustainable development of agriculture, enhanced food security, and reduced the impact of agriculture on the environment.
Expert Academician: Edible oil does not contain genetically modified substances!
Is non-GM oil not advertised as "no genetic modification"? In fact, there is no genetically modified ingredient in edible oils because the genes are only present in proteins, and it is common knowledge that edible oils do not contain proteins.
Zheng Fengtian, professor of the Agricultural and Rural Development Academy of Renmin University of China, once said: “The genetically modified edible oil does not contain genetically modified components. The genetically modified components are in proteins and have been eliminated during the oil extraction process. More than 90% of the world's genetically modified soybeans are Having eaten more than ten years of genetically modified soybean oil, if it is found to be a problem, it has long been banned by the state, so genetically modified soybean oil is no problem!"
Everyone in our high school biology class knows that all the genetic material (DNA) is in protein. What is oil? It is a fatty substance that provides energy. There is no protein in the fat. The gene is only present in the protein. Therefore, the fat does not contain any genetic material. Naturally, there is no genetic modification in the oil!
“Does not contain genetically modified edible oilsâ€. Many expert academicians such as Peng Yufa, Wang Ruiyuan, Chen Xiwen, and He Jiguo have said on different occasions that they have become commonplace.
The concept of "non-transgenic" is purely commercial hype
In recent years, China’s dispute over the safety of genetically modified products has been in a state of tension and has not reached any basic consensus. Consumers are therefore suspicious. Ji Jianping, director of the Division of Safety Management and Intellectual Property of Genetically Modified Organisms in the Department of Science and Technology Education of the Ministry of Agriculture, clearly stated that genetically modified foods have been safely studied for 40 years and safe for 18 years.
On October 14, 2014, Bi Meijia, chief economist and press spokesman of the Ministry of Agriculture, said on behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture that the GM and non-GM foods had the same security and advertisements were in violation of advertising regulations. It is the behavior of the company to use some consumers' deficiencies in the understanding of genetically modified technology and their anxiety to pursue their own interests, regardless of market rules, and to use “non-transgenic†as a selling point. This result not only leads to disorderly competition in the industry, but also results in more drama. Public panic over genetically modified technology.
Industry insiders pointed out that “turning†and “non-switching†are merely concept wars that are commonly used by edible oil companies and have no relevance to food safety issues. The concept of genetically modified and non-transgenic may be diluted in the future, and the "turnover" and "non-rotational" wars in the field of edible oils are expected to stall, which will benefit consumers to look more rationally at genetically modified foods.
