The difference between genetically modified corn and non-genetically modified corn, genetically modified corn is very harmful

With the advancement of science and technology, there are more and more genetically modified foods. While the output has increased, food safety issues have become a concern. A common example is genetically modified corn. Genetically modified corn is large in size, while non-genetically modified corn is small, but it is always a safe food.

1. Interpretation of genetically modified corn

Transgenic breeding is the process of transferring specific genes from one organism to another organism according to a pre-designed blueprint with the help of laboratory operation techniques, so that the latter can acquire new genetic traits in a targeted manner. That is, to introduce useful plant genes from very distantly related species (such as potatoes) into the genetic material of corn that needs to be improved and make its offspring exhibit the stable genetic traits that people are pursuing.

Before being approved for use, genetically modified varieties must also pass national safety assessments. my country has not yet approved genetically modified corn for commercial production.

2. The harm of genetically modified corn

1. Pests cannot be killed: Genetically modified foods themselves contain pest genes. These pests will have higher defenses, which is not conducive to being killed by pesticides.

2. Impact on development: Experiments on feeding mice with genetically modified foods have shown that genetically modified foods have serious impacts on the reproduction, growth and development of mice.

3. Nutritional issues: Genetically modified foods usually have many nutritional problems. Scientists also believe that foreign genes will destroy the nutrients in food in a way that humans do not yet understand.

3. How to identify genetically modified corn

1. Size. According to tradition, tomatoes also come in a certain size, for example, small tomatoes as small as the size of a thumb are definitely genetically modified. Another example is soybeans, also called yellow beans, which are used to make tofu and soy milk. Their shape should be like animal offal: like a waist, and a little flat. But the soybeans grown now are all round, much larger, like peas, with a very high yield, and they are genetically modified.

2. Color. What is definitely different from the traditional ones is genetically modified products, such as colored cotton and colored peppers.

3. Output. In the first few years, the yield of genetically modified crops is generally much higher than that of traditional crops.

4. Season. Except for greenhouse vegetables, other off-season foods are likely to be genetically modified.

5. Pests. Any crops that pests like to visit are not genetically modified, and any crops that pests are afraid of, that is, crops that have no pests or very few pests, are genetically modified.
