Nowadays genetically modified foods

In addition to not realizing the dangers of genetically modified crops, it is difficult to understand due to a wide variety of problems.
In the first place, this genetically modified organism (GMO) crop was made for farmers, not for consumers.
The reason is that GMO crops were made in the United States to eliminate the two things of "preventing worm-eaten" and "weeding".
And in the crop itself, he made the insecticidal ingredient "BT toxin" resistant to the herbicide called Roundup.

It is said that the three major disorders of genetically modified foods are "cancer", "allergy" and "infertility".
The side that promotes GMO crops says, "Human bites when eating, and almost no residual components enter the body.
Even if it enters the body, humans do not have the enzyme that receives the insecticidal component, so it is safe because it is always excreted from the body. " It has been reported that the insecticidal component remained in the body of 93% of pregnant women.
Indian cotton farmers are suffering from allergies, and Indian cotton is GMO cotton (BT cotton) that insects do not eat.

In the nineties, Professor Pushtai of the Low Wet Research Institute in the United Kingdom also conducted an experiment in which rats were fed with GMO potatoes, and announced the results that their immunity was greatly reduced.
In Serarini's famous experiment, nearly 70% of rats developed liver disease, kidney disease or cancer.
There is a well-known shocking experiment on infertility, with biologist Irina Ermaco byrina Ermakova of the Russian Academy of Sciences Institute for Advanced Neuroactivity and Neurophysiology, three weeks after birth of a rat pup that ate GMO soybeans. The mortality rate of the baby was 55.6%, which was an unusually high value, and the experimental results showed that the weight of the baby born was also abnormally low.
Compared to rats that did not grow on GMO food, more than half died and were born prematurely.

In Japan, we often see "not genetically modified foods" in food labeling, but this is an illusion.
It is certainly not made, but it is imported in large quantities.
The total import volume of GMO crops has already exceeded 200,000 tons.
By the way, the production of rice in Japan is about 800,000 tons, which is more than double the amount of rice.
It means that quite a lot are coming in.
Currently, the GMO crops imported into Japan are soybeans (including green soybeans and soybean sprouts), corn, rapeseed, sugar beet, potatoes (currently made in developing countries), cotton, papaya, and alfalfa. It is one.

GMO crops themselves are basically not distributed in stores, and most of them are used for livestock feed, food additives, processed foods, and other raw materials.
Food labeling is required for GMOs, but about 98% of GMO foods are not labeled due to clever fraud.
Even if it is "not genetically modified", 5% may be mixed, it is not necessary to display the fourth and subsequent product labels, and it is not necessary to display it even if it is used for livestock feed or processed food. is.
Japan's food self-sufficiency rate is said to be 39%, but you should not accept that number at face value.
In fact, 99% of the pesticides and fertilizers used to make it are already imported.
So, in fact, the food self-sufficiency rate is almost zero.

You are already eating a ton of genetically modified foods.
