Authoritative experts rumor that "genetically modified foods are highly related to cancer"
(Reporters Dong Jun and Yu Wenjing) A few days ago there were media articles saying that experiments confirmed that genetically modified foods are highly related to tumors. Lin Min, a member of the National Committee on Genetically Modified Organisms, said on the 30th that this experiment was verified by an authoritative organization as false. All genetically modified foods that are listed through safety evaluation are as safe as traditional foods.
According to Lin Min, on September 19, 2012, Professor Selalini of the University of Kane, France published a paper in the "Journal of Food Science and Chemical Toxicology" that reported the use of genetically modified corn NK603 for two-year feeding in rats. Studies have caused rats to develop tumors. The European Food Safety Authority was commissioned by the European Commission to evaluate the paper. On November 29, 2012, the European Food Safety Authority made a final assessment that the conclusions drawn from the study lacked data support and that the design and methods of the relevant experiments were seriously flawed. However, the research experiment did not comply with the accepted scientific research criteria. Therefore, there is no need to re-examine the previous NK603 corn safety assessment.
Lin Min said that before entering the market, GM foods must pass strict safety assessments and approval procedures for toxicity, sensitization, and teratogenicity. It does not calculate laboratory time, and it usually takes more than three years to enter the safety evaluation stage. There are currently no other products. Food has undergone such a rigorous safety evaluation. GM foods have the same safety as non-GM foods. The World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations believe that any genetically modified foods that are listed through safety assessments are as safe as traditional foods and can be eaten with confidence.
The issue of the safety of genetically modified foods is highly concerned by international organizations, governments and consumers. In 1997, the International Codex Alimentarius Commission set up an inter-governmental special working group for biotechnology foods, formulated the principles and guidelines for risk analysis in the field of genetic modification, became a universally recognized food safety standard, and the WTO's basis for adjudicating international trade disputes. Global commercialization of genetically modified products has been applied for 17 years. The population of people who eat genetically modified products accounts for 4/5. There has not yet been a confirmed food safety problem.
One view is that since transgenes break down the longitudinal inheritance of species that has been formed over thousands of years, the forced horizontal transfer of genes across species will likely present new opportunities as well as potential risks. In response, Lin Min said that the international community has generally adopted risk assessment, risk communication, and risk management for genetically modified technologies, and has formulated a series of safety evaluation technical specifications to minimize and control risks. China has also formulated the "Regulations on the Safety Management of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms" and related management methods, and has managed the genetically modified technologies in the form of laws. A recent EU official report stated that the main conclusion reached from more than 130 research projects involving more than 500 independent research teams covering more than 25 years is that biotechnology, especially genetic technology, is no more risky than conventional breeding technology.
