How much of the food you eat is genetically modified? From the perspective of food alone, China's commercialization of genetic modification is quite large.
“80%-90% of the imported soybeans are genetically modified, and most of them are used to crush oil for human consumption, and the dregs are used as feed to produce eggs for human consumption. 70% of imported rape and 80 of corn %-90% is also genetically modified, and imported papaya and other foods, the market should be almost no non-genetically modified.†Director of Genetic Engineering and Genetic Safety Research Laboratory, Institute of Oil Crops, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Ministry of Agriculture, Environmental Monitoring and Supervision of Genetically Modified Plants Lu Changming, executive deputy director of the Testing Center (Wuhan), introduced the reporter to the International Finance News.
survey:
Dodge genetically modified markers
The strange thing is that a business that has been so commercialized and the business operators are a bit shy to say "export."
The "International Finance News" reporter investigated 15 series of six brands of mainstream edible oils through online surveys and supermarket visits. He found that "genetically modified" has become a taboo for edible oil. Production and sales companies have shied away from it. .
"International Finance" reporter found that, including Jinlong Yu, Fook Lam and other brands occupying the largest share of China's edible oil, genetic raw materials have become the bulk of edible oil raw materials. Among them, almost 100% of blended oil and soybean oil comes from genetically modified raw materials.
However, the word "transgenic" is like light, but it is hidden in the middle of a large piece of text in extremely small fonts. The reporter of the "International Finance News" has to spend a lot of effort to find it when he carefully searches for it. The average consumer is difficult to identify without careful identification.
On the contrary, "non-transgenic" has become a selling point for major brands to promote, with large fonts, highlighting its "natural" features, "Fulinmen" brand even launched a number of non-genetically modified series of products, Promote as a star and aristocrat series.
Safety:
Difficult to determine whether it is harmful
"Transgenic technology is very mature and proves to be harmless to the human body," Lu Changming told the International Finance News reporter. "We can use technology to transfer a gene that can kill pests, and this can be used to kill pests. The method is harmless to the human body and does not need to worry about."
Earlier, economist Lang Xianping once attacked genetically modified technology to kill insects and kill people. However, Lu Changming does not agree that “The reason why GM can kill worms is because of the technology developed for protein receptors and alkaline environments of worms, and the human body does not have receptors for these toxic proteins, nor does it have a base for the action of toxins. Environment, so these toxic proteins are harmless to the human body."
However, genetic modification did not kill insects as intended. “For example, many GM technologies were introduced because of environmental concerns such as preventing insects and reducing the amount of pesticides. However, in the United States, for example, the amount of pesticides in GM crop areas has not only declined, but has also increased dramatically, which is contrary to what many GM experts claim. Jiang Gaoming, a researcher at the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told the International Finance News reporter: “The other interests claimed by GM experts may eventually prove to be wrong. Therefore, people’s concerns about genetically modified technology can also be understood. â€
Wang Xiaoyu, deputy secretary-general of the Heilongjiang Soybean Association, said: “I have based my experience in the food industry for 20 years and found that the cause of cancer may have a significant correlation with genetically modified soybean oil consumption.â€
"Our association's conclusion is that consumers who consume genetically modified soybean oil are more likely to suffer from cancer and infertility. Therefore, genetically modified soybean oil should not be used for commercial consumption before it can be safely concluded," says Wang Xiaoyu. In April of this year, he handed over the report to the Heilongjiang Provincial Agriculture Commission. He hopes to pay attention to it, but he has not received a reply so far.
Chen Junshi, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that there is not even a genetically modified component in genetically modified soybean oil. “Transgenic soybean oil is the most common genetically modified food that can be eaten. Strictly speaking, any genetically modified ingredient should not be detected in genetically modified soybean oil because the gene is a protein that has been eliminated from soybeans and refined into oil. Food safety The regulatory authorities have a very good detection method, even if trace amounts of protein can be detected from soybeans entering the oil.â€
Zhu Yi, an associate professor of the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering at the China Agricultural University, also stated that in the United States, for example, the consumption of genetically modified soybean products in the United States is more than that in China. The incidence of cancer in the United States should be higher than that in China, and in fact, before and after eating genetically modified soybeans, There has been no significant increase in the incidence of cancer.
All Plastic Medical Caster, is a kind of medium duty medical caster. The most common material is TPR, which has the character like corrosion, resistance to impact, wear resistance, rotary quietness. According to the characters all plastic Medical Casters, they are very suitable for the middle type moving medical appliance and the equipment in laboratory.
MYWIN could provide plate, threaded stem, round stem, bolt hole mounting types, including swivel and swivel with brake for each mounting type. MYWIN has 3inch, 4inch, 5inch all plastic medical caster wheels, the load capacity is about 70kg, 90kg, 100kg, namely 154 pounds, 198 pounds, 220 pounds. Please select the casters based on the devices and equipment load. Please do not use the casters while exceed their maximum load capacity, accident is always caused by overload.
As the quality, MYWIN casters have the certification proof and have received testing after production. The regular salt and spray test and load capacity test are taken in our every caster. We also have the SGS, IAF, TUV and CNAS certification to make our customers more confident about our products.
