What is the biggest problem with GM foods?

Recently, the Secretary of the Zhangye Municipal Committee of Gansu Province received an exclusive interview with reporters on why Zhangye City had entered the "minefield" of transgenic plants. "For the sake of national food security, specifically, it is for the safety of grain seeds of the country," said the secretary of Chen Kegong. "As Mr. Yuan Longping said, 'A critical period, a small seed can trip a big country'. Seed is The mother of grain, and Zhangye is the national corn seed production base, which accounts for half of the country's corn seed market, but it is not a problem with the seeds, but it is a problem for the country's food.From this perspective, the seed industry Zhang Hao is more responsible than any other place. As the secretary of the city party committee, I can only stop and slow down. I haven’t expected to enter the minefield.”

In October this year, the Zhangye Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government put forward “Opinions on Establishing a Safe Market for Agricultural Products (8.01, -0.02, -0.25%)”, which strictly prohibits any enterprises or individuals from engaging in breeding, sales, and using genetically modified seeds in Zhangye. The contents of business activities have received extensive attention from the country. In these two days, the specific implementation measures will be announced on the Internet and it is estimated that it will trigger a new round of genetic modification.

Discussion on food security issues.

Is GM food safe and unsafe?

Those who do not engage in GM food research say that insecurity is not based on scientific evidence. However, if people who are engaged in genetically modified food research only say that they are safe, and they do not say anything wrong, they are not scientific enough. At the present stage, the author's understanding of genetically modified foods, but also the biggest problem with GM foods, is that no one can say anything wrong.

Regardless of whether people engaged in GM food research have found no problems because of insufficient capacity, or if they discover that the problem is intended to be concealed from the public and anything is only said well, it is necessary for the public to remain vigilant and not be 100% confident. This may be the difference between social science and natural sciences.

A few days ago, CCTV II made a report on GM food disputes. The reporter asked the author to say a few words. An elderly viewer from Dalian saw the phone and sent a text message to tell the author a story.

She said in a text message that she was very fond of a factory that produced E-flavonoids, an affiliate of a soybean oil production plant. The factory's environment and production lines were very good. At the time, the yard was full of GM soybeans imported from the United States. She wanted to acquire the factory and asked people to carry out production tests. The result was only a little bit of output, and even Chengdu, which was expected to produce, did not reach. Later, the company told her that in order to use the non-genetically modified soybeans in the northeast, it could produce the designed output of the production line. Tested with soil soybeans in the northeast, the production line produced a high amount of E-flavonoids, only to know that the number of E-flavonoids contained in the US transgenic soybeans was too low. She also contacted some companies in Harbin who produce E-flavonoids. They also confirmed that they really need to use our own old soybeans that have not been genetically modified in the Northeast to produce them. “We did not realize that we had to go ahead with the production of raw materials. We must order one year in advance. A small amount of scattered beans cannot guarantee production. Therefore, we did not buy that factory at that time.”

Some countries in the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom have imported a large amount of non-genetically modified soybeans from China. They are not only people but also raw materials. We export a pound of non-genetically modified soybeans to buy back 3 to 4 pounds of US genetically modified soybeans. In those years, they bought the non-genetically modified soybean meal at the low price and bought soy e-flavonoids.

The flavonoids extracted from soybean meal contained 80% anti-cardiovascular disease genistin and daidzin. Soybean germ was used to extract anti-cancer soybean flavonoids, which contained 80% soybean ginkgoside and daidzin. There are two kinds of mixes sold outside. Our production process was to extract soy E-flavonoids, which contained natural vitamin E. Companies that produce E-flavonoids now have soy natural vitamins extracted separately from non-genetically modified soybeans.

This story tells us at the very least that there is not only the issue of whether or not GM food is safe, but also a nutritional issue. Simply telling the people that GM soybeans are safe to eat, but selling domestically nutritious non-genetically modified soybeans to foreigners, that would not be feasible.
