Since the advent of genetically modified food, it has been the subject of much controversy, is it safe in the end? Some people say that scientists say that genetically modified food is safe because it has not been found to be harmful in the past, and this needs to be verified by several generations. In fact, the scientific community has also done a lot of theory and practice, and after repeated reasoning, it is confirmed that there is no problem with GMOs.

As for people's concerns about genetically modified food, basically there is no one, and if people have doubts, the Farmer's Daily will explain and refute the rumors as soon as possible. Some people associate genetically modified foods with infertility, without any scientific basis and proof, and are completely fallacious. There are also people who say that genetically modified foods cause cancer, which is also wrong, from the perspective of scientific research, many international professional institutions have authoritative conclusions on the safety of genetically modified products, it is approved for marketing through scientific evaluation, and the safety is beyond doubt, and there is no example of problems due to genetically modified food, which is very good proof.
Recently, there were rumors on the Internet that genetically modified products caused the death of thousands of mice, and the Farmer's Daily hurriedly spoke out, saying that this was a rumor and that the information was not true, and the relevant personnel who spread the rumors were also punished. There has always been opposition to genetically modified products, and there have always been deliberate remarks that distort the facts, and these people have bad intentions.
Transgenic technology can transfer the insect resistance genes in microorganisms into plants to achieve cross-border transfer of genes, transgenic breeding compared with traditional breeding, it can clearly know what role the target gene will play, know what the results are after the transfer, the process and conclusions are transparent, and the efficiency is very high.
Even though the development of genetically modified products has been bumpy, slandered by many ignorant people, and faced with a lot of incomprehension and doubts, its existence should not be underestimated. According to the analysis of some experts, the mainland's agriculture is facing three major problems: the reduction of cultivated land, the frequent occurrence of natural disasters such as droughts and floods, diseases and pests, and the reduction of water resources, which have seriously jeopardized the development and progress of the mainland's agriculture. The development of genetically modified technology can effectively solve these problems, increase the yield of crops, improve the quality of crops, ensure the food security of the mainland, increase the added value of agricultural products, and increase farmers' incomes.
Food safety is a relative problem, there is no absolutely safe food in the world, and some people may be poisoned if they drink too much water.
The safety of traditional food generally depends on experience, some people are allergic to peanut milk, which is judged by their own experience, and the poisonous mushroom can not be eaten is the result of other people's experience. Genetically modified food is the toxicity and allergens in the food are strictly processed and tested, and the safety evaluation of genetically modified food is far stricter than that of traditional food.
Even if experts study genetically modified products in depth and test them strictly, there will still be objections, because genetically modified food has been controversial from the beginning, and people's disgust with it is like engraved in their bones, and they are reminded from time to time that it is harmful to health, but there is actually no basis for it.
Some netizens said that they should not put on the cloak of science and do things that harm the interests of the people, and some people threatened to resolutely resist genetically modified food. Of course, everyone has the right to choose freely, genetically modified food is a new era of science and technology, it still has a long way to go, with the passage of time and the gradual maturity of science and technology, its pros and cons will be exposed to the eyes of the public sooner or later.
In order to let more people understand the connotation and essence of genetically modified food, it takes many efforts, and the government and market supervision departments should strengthen law enforcement to ensure the transparency and fairness of the genetically modified food market, including manufacturers should clearly indicate on the product, which is genetically modified food and which is natural food, so that consumers can choose freely.
