is still a food safety issue. Today's society may no longer avoid the use of various additives, preservatives, pigments, and flavors in food or medicines. The national standards in China and abroad are different, and they are used to say that enterprises are "double standards". Although enterprises deny it, they say they meet the standards of various countries and regions, no problems can be seen from the legal level. "Double standards" do not come from within the enterprise, but they are indeed different manufacturing standards. To solve this problem, it is necessary to fundamentally raise national standards to meet the needs of consumers. From another perspective, this belongs to the contradiction that objectively exists at a certain stage of development of our country - the contradiction between people's growing material and cultural needs and backward social production. 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the main contradiction in our society has transformed into the contradiction between the people's growing needs for a better life and the unbalanced and inadequate development.
People's demand continues to grow. When we are hungry, we think about eating enough, we think about eating well, and when we are well, we think about eating healthy. Xinjifei The technology and ruthlessness revealed this time actually reflects the problem that we now have better living conditions and need healthier foods. As food companies and various associations that customize food standards, they have the obligation to assume this responsibility to meet the people's growing needs for a better life.
also involves food safety. In addition to additives, another area with great controversy is the genetically modified field.
On January 8, 2019, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued the "2018 Agricultural Genetically Modified Biosafety Certificate Approval List", involving a total of 31 species, and the common genetically modified products on the market currently include soybean oil, rapeseed, cotton seed oil, etc. It is difficult for consumers to buy cottonseed oil now. It is said that they are sold in bulk to middlemen. Cottonseed oil will be mixed with other oils and sold as salad oil. This special marketing model does not need to be labeled as GMO like GMO soybean oil. This may be why Xinjifei refused to let everyone buy blended oil. Why is the genetically modified
strictly controlled by the state? The main reason is that the genetically modified technology lacks safety evaluation.
However, there was once a U.S. company conducted human trials of genetically modified rice on 24 Chinese children in China, and Chinese experts participated. Has this been approved by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Agriculture of China?
In the Henan Business Daily A16 edition, on September 8, 2012, there was a news article:
From the news, we learned from the news that this experiment was first in 2004. According to the statement of Zhejiang Academy of Medical Sciences , in August 2004, Tufts University signed a cooperation agreement with the institute, hoping to use Zhejiang as the site to carry out the National Institute of Health (NIH) project applied to the university - "Research on the Vitamin A Equivalence of Chinese Children's Plants Carotenoid in China".
US head is Tang Guangwen of Tufts University in the United States, and Chinese head is Wang Yin, a researcher at the Zhejiang Academy of Medical Sciences.
According to the paper "Beta-carotene in golden rice and β-carotene in oil capsules are equally effective for children with vitamin A supplement" published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition on August 1, 2012, it shows that
This study in the United States selected 72 healthy children aged 6 to 8, and all the children were students of Jiangkou Town Central Primary School in Hengnan County, Hunan Province. The researchers ordered 24 of the children to eat 60 grams of for lunch every day for 21 days, and tested their vitamin A content in their bodies. The conclusion was that golden rice was comparable to vitamin A capsules. The company that developed golden rice was called Syngenta, the United States (acquired by China Chemical Group in 2017), and the experiment was stopped by the Ministry of Agriculture and the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Agriculture in 2008. The experiment was stopped by the Ministry of Agriculture and the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Agriculture to test the effect of genetically modified "golden rice" on supplementing human vitamin A.
How to complete the experiment has always been a mystery:
Wang Yin once said that the experiment was not present;
Zhejiang Academy of Medical Sciences also stated that it had never issued a certificate of importing "golden rice";
September 5, 2012, People's Daily quoted the Zhejiang Academy of Medical Sciences and the fourth author of the paper Wang Yin: "I don't know this paper."
Tufts University professor Tang Guangwen has admitted in a written response that she let Hunan children try "golden rice", but Hunan denied that this matter exists.
and according to the news published by The Paper in 2015, "Treat Chinese children as guinea pigs! The US Golden Rice Paper was withdrawn. It was learned that there was no sufficient evidence in the experiment that the rice consumed was clearly informed by the author of the paper. Moreover, the author of the paper was unable to prove through written evidence that all parents or children participating in the experiment at that time signed all informed consent forms before the experiment began.
According to Chinese laws, genetically modified foods are prohibited from being brought from overseas to the country, and customs are not allowed to be released. If it is a GMO food for people in China, it must be marked with the word "GMO" in obvious locations, just like GMO soybean oil. The inconsistent statements of
, the Chinese leader of the test was not present during the test, and even the trial project published a paper, expressed his unawareness.
Speaking of this, it raises a question: Since this kind of experiment is developed by American companies, why don’t you do the experiment in the United States but go to China to do the experiment?
According to the report on the golden rice incident in the " International Herald Leader " September 20, 2012:
In the 20 years from 1988 to 2008, the number of projects conducted overseas human medical trials in the United States soared by 2,000%, reaching 6,500 cases in 2008. The figure released by the American Institute of Health (NIH) is that since 2000, U.S. pharmaceutical companies have conducted nearly 60,000 medical trials in 173 countries.
is not to conduct experiments in the United States. The fundamental purpose is not to save money, but should be considered to evade strict supervision from the United States. In developing countries, or poor countries, give small favors and give gifts, so the subjects will participate in the experiment. The subjects may not know what to test. There was no life danger or health damage at the time of the experiment, so there would be no concern. However, who knows whether there will be any damage to the body after a few years, more than ten years, or decades later?
. In response to this golden rice incident, International Environmental Protection Organization Greenpeace expressed strong opposition, saying that using Chinese children to conduct human experiments is extremely irresponsible, and at the same time, it was required that the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention intervene to investigate its legality.
The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention then launched an investigation. It was precisely because of the intervention of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention that we learned that This trial did violate relevant regulations, scientific research ethics and scientific research integrity, and there was no evidence to prove that it had been evaluated and approved by relevant Chinese departments. At the same time, there was also unclear explanation for the "right to know" of children's families, which did not fully indicate that "golden rice" is genetically modified rice, which eventually led to the removal of relevant Chinese responsible persons. Tang Guangwen, who was in charge of this research project, will not be allowed to engage in human body research within two years.
Summary of the investigation results of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention means that relevant Chinese departments have not approved it. The project team conducted the experiment privately and concealed the golden rice from Chinese children as genetically modified rice during the experiment. Behind this experiment is the presence of Chinese scholars, and they are even the head of the Chinese side. After
, the American Nutrition Association of asked Tang Guangwen and 6 co-authors to voluntarily withdraw the paper, but were rejected. In 2014, Tang Guangwen asked the Massachusetts Superior Court to block the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition from withdrawing the paper, believing that the withdrawal of the manuscript was equivalent to causing slander against her. On July 17, 2015, Judge Kenneth Salinger rejected the request.
What is even more incredible is the following report:
Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering Li Lianda once publicly stated after the golden rice incident was reported by the media:
Genetic rice experiments conducted by American scientific research institutions in the Chinese children's group are scientifically reasonable and meaningful, and the procedures are in line with my country's laws and regulations, and are also in line with international practices.
Academician Li Lianda also said: "there is no reliable data on the long-term impact of the children under test, and it is still difficult to make a judgment."
Wang Jimin, deputy director of the Institute of Agricultural Economics and Development, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, once said that whether there is a safety risk in golden rice is still in an uncertain stage, but if it is uncertain, it cannot be given to people.
For two different voices, as consumers, we will naturally choose which party to support.
For human trials in a scientific field, China is very strict in domestic management. Article 1008 of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China stipulates that
is to develop new drugs, medical devices or develop new prevention and treatment methods, and needs to conduct clinical trials, it shall be approved by the relevant competent authorities in accordance with the law and reviewed and approved by the ethics committee, and inform the subject or the guardian of the subject of the subject of the purpose, purpose and possible risks, and shall be informed of the subject's purpose, purpose and possible risks, and shall be approved by his written consent. If a clinical trial is conducted, the subject shall not be charged for trial fees.
For human experiments, the relevant contents in Civil Code also have very detailed requirements and explanations, as well as a series of regulations that require strict implementation. Humans are different from animals, and human experiments are not allowed to be conducted privately.
In today's society, people have increasingly high requirements for food in their mouths. Safety and hygiene are not just as simple as not having diarrhea or getting sick for a few days after eating. The view that eating cannot kill people is already a backward statement.
Then again, why can Xin Jifei increase his fans by millions in a short period of time? Why has it been recognized by consumers? To describe it in a sentence that Hu Xijin said in is:
The Internet public opinion field provides the strongest public opinion supervision, and the value orientation of the Internet is highly populist . This is a balance in the world and an instinctive logic of justice.
Some of the doubts are quite harsh. The relevant newspapers or certain associations may not like to listen. However, as the state gives newspapers and associations the responsibility for food safety supervision, we should hear the voices of doubts and understand the needs of consumers and the people of the whole country for food safety.
#Xin Jifei, all of which are harsh in technology. Brother #
#Food Safety Full of Hex Technology#
#Xin Jifei Revealing the inside story of the food chain! #
