Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering: There is no epidemiological evidence for carcinogenicity of transgenic soybeans

Genetically modified soybean causes cancer? Yesterday, on the development of the National Food Safety Risk Assessment Center, Chen Junshi, a researcher at the center and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that there was no epidemiological evidence for the genetically modified soybeans to cause cancer.

Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture approved three kinds of imported genetically modified soybeans. According to media reports, Wang Xiaoyu, deputy secretary-general of the Heilongjiang Soybean Association, said that from a number of experiments abroad, genetically modified soybeans are highly related to cancer and infertility. The association analyzed that consumers who consume genetically modified soybean oil are more likely to suffer from cancer and infertility. Yesterday, the academician of the Academy of Engineering Chen Junshi said that it is a fact that China imports genetically modified soybeans. The high incidence of cancer in our country is also a fact, but the combination of these two things is unfounded. According to scientific claims, so far there is no evidence that genetically modified foods cause harm to the health of consumers. The GM soy cancer led by the Heilongjiang Soybean Association said that there is no epidemiological evidence and no causality.

According to the statistics of the agricultural sector, more than 90% of soybean oil is occupied by genetically modified soybean oil.

[Glossary: ​​epidemiological evidence]

Epidemiological investigations explore and clarify the causes by investigating and collecting health conditions, environmental factors, and social factors, analyzing the distribution, changes, and patterns of cases (or health abnormalities). Epidemiological evidence is obtained through epidemiological surveys to elucidate evidence of the cause.

â–  Doubts

Will genetically modified soybeans and genetically modified soybean oil harm human health? Experts and officials including Chen Junshi answered the questions.

1 Does genetically modified soybean oil contain genetically modified genes?

Genetically modified soybean oil does not leave genetically modified components

Chen Junshi: Genetically modified soybean oil is the most common genetically modified food we can eat. Strictly speaking, genetically modified soybean oil should not detect any genetically modified components, because genes are proteins, which have been eliminated during the process of refining soybeans into oil. Food safety regulators have a very good detection method. Even a tiny amount of protein can be detected when soybeans enter the oil.

Peng Yufa (Deputy Chairman of the Committee on the Safety of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms in China): The fear that consumers are concerned about the residue of genetically modified (GM) components in soybean oil is basically non-existent and can be assured.

2 Is the imported genetically modified crop tested through safety?

Approved Food Safety Evaluation for Approved Genetically Modified Foods

Chen Junshi: Safety assessment, supervision, and management of genetically modified foods, including detection and monitoring, are all regulated by the agricultural sector. The responsibility of the National Food Safety Risk Assessment Center does not include this function. The agricultural sector has risk control measures for its safety. .

Shi Yanquan (Deputy Director of the Department of Science and Education, Ministry of Agriculture): At present, our country has issued five imported genetically modified soybean varieties and 13 genetically modified maize varieties. The import safety certificate, approved applications and imported genetically modified organisms are subject to strict environmental safety and food safety aspects. evaluation of. Safety assessments indicate that these approved GMOs and imported GMOs and non-GMOs are all of the same safety, and everyone can safely eat them.

Peng Yufa: The three GM soybean varieties approved by the Ministry of Agriculture, on the basis of safety evaluations in other countries, also arranged related units to carry out environmental safety and food safety verification experiments in China. All these three species have been tested for their ability to survive and their impact on biodiversity, environmental safety testing and anti-nutritional component testing and food safety testing. Under the premise of the safety of the verification results, it took us about 3 years before it passed the application for the safety certificate of the three kinds of genetically modified soybeans as processing raw materials.

â–  Viewpoint

Genetically Modified Foods Should Stand on the Shelf

Data released by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 2011 showed that 82% of cotton and 75% of soybeans in the world market have been genetically modified. Although the report released by the World Health Organization said that genetically modified crops have not found any cases that endanger human life and health, countries have different attitudes towards genetically modified foods.

In 2003, the Commission of the European Union (EU) has introduced strict restrictions on GM cultivation. The United States is the largest producer of genetically modified plants. The United States produces and grows more than 3,000 genetically modified foods and brands. In the Chinese market, the only genetically modified crops that can be seen are cotton and papaya.

CCTV commented that only a few decades have passed since the launch of genetically modified crops. This is not enough for us to fully understand this technology. People who have already eaten GM crops have not seen any major problems at present. However, there is no problem at this time. This does not mean that there will be no problems in the future. Long-term observation.

CCTV commented that GM crops are harmful or harmless. They are all scientific issues that require time and patience. Before deciding on the final scientific conclusions, the government should set the rules and make GM foods stand out on shelves and eat or not respect them. People's judgments make people have enough right to know. According to CCTV reports

â–  Reminder

Preservative-free foods are easily contaminated

At present, many high-priced foods on the market claim to be “preservative-free,” “natural, and non-additive,” and consumers generally believe that foods containing additives such as preservatives are hazardous to health. Experts from the National Food Safety Risk Assessment Center clarified yesterday that “no preservatives” and “no added” publicity were misleading. Preservatives are mainly used to control the growth of microorganisms. If there are no preservatives in some foods, the shelf life will be very short, and they will be more easily contaminated by pathogenic microorganisms; pathogenic microorganism metabolism will produce toxic substances, posing a threat to human health. Preservatives that have been evaluated for safety can both prevent microbial contamination and are inherently harmless to health.

"Zero-pollution" food is hard to do

Experts said that claims such as “no pollution” are also unscientific. As we all know, microbes, some chemical contaminants, etc. are ubiquitous in the environment. Therefore, foods, meats, etc. that we use as food raw materials are difficult to “zero pollution” from the beginning, and food production and processing processes are not all possible. Completed during vacuum. Therefore, "zero pollution" food is difficult to achieve. Beijing News (Reporter Wei Mingyan)

Chain Link Fence system (also referred to as wire netting, wire Mesh Fence , chain wire Fence , cyclone fence,hurricane fence, or Diamond Mesh Fence ) is one kind of mostly and widely used fence in the world.

It is a type of woven fence usually made from galvanized or PVC coated steel wire. The wires run vertically and are bent int a zig-zag pattern so that each "zig" hooks with the wire immediately on one side and each [zag" with the wire immediately on the other.
