The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural China said that genetically modified foods can cause cancer and cause infertility and other side effects to be rumors.According to the Farmers Daily on Thursday (August 24), the heads of the Science and Technology Development Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Agricultural and Rural Agricultural Technology Promotion Service Center answered reporters to the pilot of the industrialization of biological breeding.
Regarding the relationship between genetically modified food and cancer, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural China said that there is no scientific basis to prove that genetically modified food is carcinogenic, and the two papers that are related to the two French people in 2012.In this regard, the relevant French departments and the EU Food Safety Administration conducted a six -year research, which cost more than 100 million yuan (about S $ 18.59 million). As a result, genetically modified corn did not cause any negative effects, and it was found that it was chronic.Toxicity and carcinogenicity.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural China said that genetically modified food has nothing to do with infertility. The relevant rumors originated in a report in 2013, saying that "many years of consumption of genetically modified corn, which led to the decline in sperm vitality of male college students in Guangxi."" ".However, the abnormal statement of college student sperm is from the report of Guangxi University Student Health Survey report in Guangxi, the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University in 2009. It proposes unhealthy living habits such as environmental pollution, long -term Internet access, and staying up late.The word of genetically modified.
Whether the genetically modified food will affect the concerns of future generations. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural China explained that genetically modified foods will not accumulate in the human body.The material foundation will not be transmitted for intergeneration, let alone change the gene and affect the offspring.
China proposed in the No. 1 central document in February this year that it is necessary to accelerate the pace of industrialization of corn and soybean biological breeding, expand the scope of piloting in an orderly manner, and standardize planting management.
It is reported that China implements a compulsory identification system for genetically modified products, such as genetically soybean oil and rapeseed oil, all require the word "processing raw materials is genetically modified soybean/rapeseed".
