Introduction

The number of inhabitants of the Earth is steadily growing, thus, there is a huge problem in increasing food production, improving medicines and medicine in general. And in the world, in connection with this, social stagnation is observed, which is becoming more urgent. It is believed that with the current size of the world's population, only GMOs can save the world from the threat of hunger, since with the help of genetic modification it is possible to increase the yield and quality of food.

The creation of genetically modified products is now the most important and most controversial task.

What is gmo?

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genotype has been purposefully artificially altered using genetic engineering methods. This definition can be applied to plants, animals and microorganisms. Genetic changes are usually made for scientific or economic purposes.

The history of the creation of GMOs

The first transgenic products were developed in the US by the former military chemical company Monsanto back in the 80s.

Monsanto Company (Monsanto) is a transnational company, the world leader in plant biotechnology. The main products are genetically modified seeds of corn, soybeans, cotton, as well as the most common herbicide in the world, Roundup. Founded by John Francis Queenie in 1901 as a purely chemical company, Monsanto has since evolved into a high technology agricultural concern. The key moment in this transformation came in 1996, when Monsanto simultaneously launched the first genetically modified crops on the market: transgenic soybeans with the new Roundup Ready trait and insect-resistant cotton "Ballguard". The huge success of these and subsequent similar products in the US agricultural market stimulated the company to shift from traditional chemistry and pharmacochemistry to the production of new varieties of seeds. In March 2005, Monsanto acquired the largest seed company Seminis, which specializes in the production of vegetable and fruit seeds.

The largest number of these areas are sown in the USA, Canada, Brazil, Argentina and China. At the same time, 96% of all GMO crops belong to the USA. In total, more than 140 lines of genetically modified plants are approved for production in the world.

Goals of creating GMOs

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations considers the use of genetic engineering methods to create transgenic varieties of plants or other organisms as an integral part of agricultural biotechnology. The direct transfer of genes responsible for useful traits is a natural development of animal and plant breeding, which has expanded the ability of breeders to control the process of creating new varieties and expand its capabilities, in particular, the transfer of useful traits between non-crossing species.

Methods for creating GMOs

The main stages of the creation of GMOs:

1. Obtaining an isolated gene.

2. Introduction of a gene into a vector for transfer to an organism.

3. Transfer of a vector with a gene into a modified organism.

4. Transformation of body cells.

5. Selection of genetically modified organisms and elimination of those that have not been successfully modified.

The process of gene synthesis is currently very well developed and even largely automated. There are special devices equipped with computers, in the memory of which programs for the synthesis of various nucleotide sequences are stored.

Restriction enzymes and ligases are used to insert a gene into a vector. With the help of restriction enzymes, the gene and the vector can be cut into pieces. With the help of ligases, such pieces can be “glued together”, connected in a different combination, constructing a new gene or enclosing it in a vector.

If unicellular organisms or cultures of multicellular cells undergo modification, then cloning begins at this stage, that is, the selection of those organisms and their descendants (clones) that have undergone modification. When the task is to obtain multicellular organisms, then cells with a changed genotype are used for vegetative reproduction of plants or injected into the blastocysts of a surrogate mother when it comes to animals. As a result, cubs are born with a changed or unchanged genotype, among which only those that show the expected changes are selected and crossed with each other.

Last fall, the Cabinet of Ministers canceled the decision on mandatory labeling of food products containing genetically modified components. There are double standards in the world: what is exported to Europe notifies the consumer about the share of GM components with inscriptions on the packaging, and for Ukraine they stamp individual jars and packages that do not have such inscriptions.

Our legislators say that they decided to abolish the marking because it is one of the conditions for joining the WTO. However, in reality there is no such requirement. All countries in Europe have adopted the label and our image in front of the EU suffers greatly. In Ukraine, even before the abolition of labeling, complete chaos reigned in this area. And now the turnover of GMO products will not be controlled by anyone. It will be possible to import any products into our country, and thereby increase toxic and allergenic risks. Moreover, we will not even be able to calculate the proportion of GMOs on the shelves. There are only 3 laboratories in Ukraine, and they obviously will not be able to cope with this task, at least 10 are needed.

According to unofficial information, almost half of the country's sown area is occupied by genetically modified soybeans and corn. And as a result: according to a study by Gospotrebstandart, half of the shelves of our grocery stores are occupied by mutant products. For example, the results of an experiment conducted in different supermarkets in Kiev, which are part of the network throughout the country, showed that 18 out of 42 randomly selected food products contained genetically modified soybeans exceeding 3% (0.9% is considered a safe norm). At the same time, 9 of them did not indicate the presence of soy protein at all.

Genetically modified - plants first appeared in Canada in 1996. In 1997 Four GM crops were allowed to be used: cotton, corn, canola and soybeans. Then the farmers were told - using such seeds, you will get more yield and use less chemicals. But in the end, everything turned out the other way around - the use of chemicals increased 15 times.

From the history of the issue. The experience of using GMOs in Canada has shown that economic, legal, environmental and ethical problems have been exposed. The sharply increased need for chemicals can be attributed to economic ones - their doses have increased by more than 15 times. This is because the plant is getting used to the chemical. In addition, due to pollination, several mutations occur in plants, and therefore the need for processing increases - the consumption of chemicals increases significantly. That is, so-called "super-resistant" weeds appear. One can only guess how many chemicals end up in food products.

The Colorado potato beetle has been known to become paralyzed when it eats. genetically modified potatoes. In another study, ladybugs were fed aphids that were bred on genetically modified potatoes. Their life span was shortened and pathological changes were found in their organs. In another experiment, a genetically modified pollen. The larvae have died.

The list of genetically modified foods includes the most popular food in our area: sausages, dumplings, instant cereals, sausages, dry soups, canned vegetables, chocolate. Ecologists from Greenpeace and the All-Ukrainian Ecological League include products of the most famous brands in this list. Genetically modified foods are often found in canned food. Corn - 80% of genetically modified varieties. Studies have confirmed that corn, peas, beans most often carry foreign genes. A whole bunch of genetically modified products can be used in mayonnaise, sauces, dry soups, seasonings. Here and soy, and starch, and vegetable oils. Chips and other processed potato products are all made from varieties of specially genetically modified potatoes. “It is simply impossible to make chips from ordinary potatoes,” experts say.

Children also eat GMO foods. Soy flour is found in bakery products, in many varieties of sweets and chocolate. Famous carbonated drinks contain caffeine. The grains from which it is produced can also be genetically modified. But still, the main danger is posed by synthetic dyes and flavor enhancers contained in these drinks. Without soybean oil, the production of cheese, cottage cheese, and fermented milk products is indispensable. Soybean oil is widely used in baby food.

With all the negative research, the harm of GMO products is not obvious and has not been fully proven. Not only that, they also have supporters. They say that natural products are not able to feed the entire population of the planet. In addition, due to climate change, many fruits and cereals produce too small yields, but GMOs are not sensitive to climate change. One of the main arguments in favor of GMOs is their low cost compared to natural products. Yet none of these arguments is worth a person's health. Moreover, we are talking about changing our genotype.

Experiments on mice and rats, which are said to be able to survive even after a nuclear explosion, have shown that those animals that are fed genetically modified products, females give a smaller offspring, body and brain weight decreases.

The use of GMOs, according to experts of the State Consumer Standard, can cause metabolic disorders, human resistance to antibiotics. Of the most serious consequences - congenital malformation in infants. Recent studies by Russian specialists have confirmed the conclusions of their foreign colleagues: the more a person consumes GMO products, the greater the risk of malignant changes in the blood, gastrointestinal diseases, the higher the likelihood of blood vessel obstruction, and allergic diseases.

Foods that often turn out to be genetically modified:

• Soybeans, soy milk, soy sauce.
• Corn and products of its processing: frozen and canned, popcorn, corn chips and flakes.
• Rape.
• Rice and its products.
• Potatoes and products from it: chips, starch.
• Tomatoes, as well as: tomato paste, puree, sauce, ketchup, juice.
• Instant soups and cereals.
• Canned meat and vegetable, fish and vegetable.
• Confectionery, chocolate.
• Flour confectionery: cookies, biscuits, gingerbread, waffles, crackers, cakes, pastries and muffins.
• Zucchini, eggplant, cabbage, carrots, cucumbers, onions, peas, peppers.
• Sugar beet.
• Sausages and sausage products.
• Meat semi-finished products.
• Olives, olives.
• Apples, pears, quince, cherries, apricots, sweet cherries, peaches, nectarines, plums, melons.
• Baby food: formulas for feeding, cereals, purees, canned food.

The artificial addition of foreign genes grossly disrupts the finely tuned genetic control of a normal cell. At present, this young science is technically imperfect. Knowledge about the molecule of heredity - DNA - is very incomplete. As a result of the artificial addition of a foreign gene, dangerous substances can unexpectedly be formed. In the worst case, these are toxins or allergens. New dangerous viruses may emerge. Knowledge about the impact on the environment of organisms modified by genetic engineering is completely insufficient. Ecologists have made assumptions about various possible environmental complications.
For example, uncontrolled transfer of genes to bacteria and viruses is quite possible. Changes in the environment will be unrepairable, as once released genes cannot be taken back.

GMOs have already firmly entered our lives.

What products are useful for modern people?

In light of the completely uncontrollable advance of GMOs, we are increasingly asking ourselves: how to defend ourselves?

Firstly, we do not know exactly how many GMOs in each particular day and hour of our lives, we must protect ourselves.

Secondly, the issue with the benefit-harm ratio of GMOs has not yet been fully resolved. The theoretical messages of supporters and opponents of GMOs so far inspire confidence in the only conclusion: it is not clear. We listen to the pros and cons more closely, simply because the potential health harms deserve more attention than glib reports of economic benefits. Thus, the argument of the opponents of GMOs “the transfer of genes from GMOs to the human microflora is POSSIBLE”, activates the search for high-quality and useful microflora that can be introduced into your body.

So, if we accept the thesis “it is unknown, but you need to defend yourself” as a basis, then:

1. What to protect yourself from?
2. By what means?
3. How long to take protective equipment?

We will immediately answer the last question - how long. Can you tell yourself for sure: I didn't eat any GMOs today? If you answered yes to yourself, then protection today is, as it were, not needed.

But here's another question: if you defend yourself with natural remedies, then you need to take into account some inertia in the assimilation of natural remedies. For example, if you decide to protect yourself with live beneficial bacteria with natural genes, then give these bacteria a certain margin of time so that they can assimilate in the system digestion, settle down and begin to benefit. Hence the obvious conclusion: pre-provision, i.e. providing yourself with protective equipment in advance is the most reliable way for natural protection.

The answer to question number 1: what are we protecting ourselves from? From the clogging of our organisms with microflora, the genes of which have "crossed" with the genes of GMO products.

We must also anticipate the most common risks attributed to GMOs: metabolic disorders, risk of cancer, allergies, and immune failure.

Tsipriyan V.I., "Health and Diet Nutrition"

Prevention of dysbacteriosis is an extremely important point in maintaining health. Assistance in putting things in order with the microflora is provided by genetically and environmentally friendly products rich in natural substances: Loklo , Garlic , Liquid Chlorophyll , Bifidophilus Flora Force .

Consumer ABC: GMOs are genetically modified organisms, GMPs are genetically modified products.

In the 90s, a new kind of seemingly familiar food appeared - GMOs. Since then, for a quarter of a century, the greatest scientists on the planet have been debating the benefits and harms of GMO food. The article will help to understand whether genetically modified foods are so harmful.

In the previous article, we reviewed and described their differences and composition. Today we are talking about such a common misconception as the harm of GMOs.

GMOs - harm or benefit

Surprisingly attractive fruits and vegetables, meat, fish, with a uniform color appeared on the shelves. Groats also pleased with their selectivity. And it cost many times less than the usual food, with a bunch of external flaws. The taste of GMOs was distinguished by fresh woodiness, but few people cared because of the savings on inexpensive products.

On the safety of genetically modified organisms for human health, the conclusion of the EC Director General for Science and Information, made on the basis of 1500 world studies by the institutes of science of engineering genetics, is noted.

According to manufacturers, experiments, careful study of genetic biologists, the appearance of genetically modified batteries contributes to:

1. Increasing the resistance of plants to bacterial attack, fungus, and other diseases.

2. Reducing the potential danger of invasion by rodents and insects, as plants become unattractive for them.

3. The volume of agricultural products is increasing, as it is adapted to drought seasons, sudden frosts.

4. Nutrients, vitamins, minerals are introduced into the chain.

5. Replenishment of the fodder market.

6. Increasing the availability of products for low-income people.

7. Strengthening the quality of food of animal origin - meat, milk, eggs.

8. Reducing air pollution, as there is no use of pesticides.

GMO Research

The dangerous effects of GMOs are evidenced by the works of biologists - Irina Ermakova, Arpad Pustaya, Jacques-Eric Seralini. These studies have been carefully checked, refuted, and scientists criticized. An interesting fact is that the fighters who defended gene modifications worked in the laboratories of the largest gene developers. Among them, the progenitor of plant genetic engineering, Monsanto.

In 2010, the OAGB, together with the Severtsov Research Institute, conducted the most complex experiments with mammals. The most severe side effects after the consumption of biologically modified species were revealed - the reproduction of malignant cells, enlargement of organs, infertility.

On January 30, 2015, the scientists were listened to. In Russia, a bill has been adopted, as a result of which genetically modified crops are allowed for sowing only on experimental sites.

Products containing GMOs, plant seeds and food of animal origin are carefully controlled and regulated by law. Each of them, before entering the country's markets, is initially carefully tested on high-tech genetic engineering devices. The harm to organisms of animals, people, the environment is checked. If the product is deemed acceptable for consumption, the producers receive a sales permit.

Should I be afraid of biogenic nutrition

There is no unequivocal opinion about the benefits or harms of biogenic developments. However, it must be borne in mind that genetics is a complex structure, the introduction into which can bring negative consequences. It is impossible to take into account the reaction of each organism - intolerance, allergy. A person, acquiring transgenes, does not know which microorganisms he will have to use.


The risk of genetically modified elements is divided into conditionally potential and proven.

Proven:

The emergence of adapted pathogens - insects, weeds.

Disappearance of natural biological specimens due to pollination with transgenes.

caused by a lack of nutrient balance.

Intolerance and allergies.

Conditionally potential:

Toxicity of products associated with the lack of studies of the cessation or development of mutational properties after ingestion.

Possible development of malignant tumors.

The resistance of the user to antibiotics.

List of products containing GMOs

Domestic companies, after the law on the limitation of sowing, buy foreign raw materials. Well-known Russian companies that use GM are Daria-semi-finished products, Talosto, Klin meat-packing plant, CampoMos, Bogatyr, Galina Blanca, and Yubileynoye cookies.

common products, often subject to genetic modification:

Soy, sunflower, corn;

Potato;

Cereal products (white flour);

tomatoes;

Fruits;

multicomponent compositions, products containing GMOs:

Chocolate;

Carbonated drinks;

Fish, meat - semi-finished products from them;

Margarine;

Dairy products;

Wine and vodka products;

Baby food (dry mixes, purees, juices).

In Russia, they sell products that are exceptionally harmless and do not pose a danger to humans. But so far there are no exact mechanisms for determining the safety of a particular food product.

How to determine the content of nutrients

The definition of GMOs in products is regulated by law. Even if there is one harmless element in the components, manufacturers are obliged to indicate the content of GM in the composition and on special product labeling.

It is also possible to visually determine the content of genetically modified organisms. It's suspiciously cheap. There are no flaws in the GM, it is stored for weeks without a refrigerator. When cut, fruits and vegetables give a small amount of juice. They taste fresh and lean.

Meat, fish also with a pronounced, unnatural color. When cut, they are easily separated into neat slices.

Ignore the bright "GMO Free" labels. The legal right of the manufacturer is to write whatever you want on the cover. Look at the composition. There, companies, according to the law, indicate only reliable information.

To use or not to use GMOs in food is the personal choice of everyone. Of course, you should not bump into and suspect each product of its biogenicity. It is important to remember that only at the slightest sign of strange diseases, it is necessary to review the nutrition menu and seek help from a doctor.

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are foodstuffs, as well as living organisms created with the help of genetic engineering. Gene modification technologies are widely used in agriculture. Plants with GMOs have increased yields and are resistant to pests.

In Russia, the production of GMOs is currently prohibited. However, the import of food products that contain genetically modified components is allowed. Mostly modified soybeans, corn, potatoes and beets from the USA are brought to Russia. America occupies a leading position in both the production and consumption of GMOs. So, up to 80% of food in the US contains GMOs. According to the National Association for Genetic Safety, about 30–40% of food products on the Russian food market contain GMOs. Over the past 3 years, the association has discovered GMOs in the products of companies such as Nestle, Mikoyan, Campomos and others.

In our country, a significant negative effect of the influence of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) on the biological and physiological parameters of mammals has recently been confirmed.

On April 14, specialists from the National Association for Genetic Safety (NAGB) at the RIA Novosti press club presented the results of an independent study on the effect of feed containing components of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) on the biological and physiological parameters of mammals.

The results of a study conducted by the OAGB together with the Institute of Ecology and Evolution named after. A.N. Severtsov RAS in the period 2008-2010, indicate a significant negative impact of feed containing GMOs on the reproductive functions and health of laboratory animals.

“Animals (receiving GMOs) were found to have a developmental and growth retardation, a violation of the sex ratio in litters with an increase in the proportion of females, a decrease in the number of cubs in the litter, up to their complete absence in the second generation,” said the Deputy Director of the Institute of Economics and Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, d.b. n. Aleksey Surov, - A significant decrease in the reproductive abilities of males was also noted.

“The results of our study confirmed the data of those European scientists who stated about the negative health effects arising from the use of GMOs in the food of laboratory animals,” says Alexander Baranov, President of the OAGB, “We used soybean meal, which is widely used in Russia for fattening agricultural breeds . Soybean line 40-3-2, contained in the meal, is allowed in our country for human consumption as well.”

During the press conference, OAGB specialists announced the need for a new series of experiments in order to once again verify the conclusions about the dangers of GMOs on human health. The OAGB came up with a proposal to introduce a temporary moratorium in Russia on 17 permitted lines of GMOs until they are fully tested for biosafety.

Recall that in Russia the use of 17 types of genetically modified lines (GMOs) of five varieties of cultivated plants is allowed: these are soybeans, corn, potatoes, rice and sugar beets. For example, more than 90 percent of all soybeans produced in the world are genetically modified. Genetically modified soybeans and their by-products are widely used in the production of a wide range of human and animal feed products.

The experimental study was carried out on a laboratory population of Campbell's hamsters (Рhodopus carbelli), chosen due to the fact that they have a rapid generational change, which makes it possible to track long-term effects. The main negative fact of the influence of GMO feed, which was discovered during the study, according to the President of the OAGB Alexander Baranov, is the "prohibition on reproduction", as a result of which it was not possible to obtain the third generation of individuals.

In Russia at the moment there are about 5 million infertile couples. According to the speakers, if the negative impact of GMOs on human reproductive abilities is confirmed, there is a risk of a serious deterioration in the demographic situation in Russia.

The director of the OAGB, Elena Sharoikina, in her comments noted that in the recently signed by the President of Russia D.A. Medvedev "Doctrine of Food Security of the Russian Federation" stated the need to "exclude the uncontrolled distribution of food products obtained from genetically modified plants." At the same time, Elena Sharoikina stated that in the Russian regions there is not enough technical equipment and the system of control over the spread of GMOs is not developed, there is no comprehensive legislative framework and state support for scientific research in the field of biological safety.

At the press conference, an open appeal was made to the head of the working group on the creation of an innovation center in Skolkovo, to the First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Russia Vladislav Surkov with a proposal to develop the Safe Genetic Technologies project within the framework of Silicon Valley.

The project provides for the development of a security system aimed at protecting Russian citizens from possible negative consequences of the influence of GMOs.

Transgenization is a genetic bomb

2007
Documentary
Director:
Galina Tsareva

One of the most acute problems of our time is the problem of the introduction and dissemination of new biotechnologies associated with genetic changes in living organisms. Genetically modified (transgenic) organisms contain DNA fragments from any other living organisms in their genetic apparatus, for example, insect, animal or even human genes can be inserted into a plant. With the help of genetic engineering, hybrids of potatoes with tomato, soybeans with blue tobacco, sunflowers with beans have already been obtained. There are also more discouraging data: a frost-resistant tomato variety with an embedded flounder gene, drought-resistant corn with a scorpion gene, a tomato with a toad gene. But does a person have enough knowledge to play the role of the Creator?

How to distinguish a modified product from a natural one? Signs of transgenic fruits and vegetables. Is it possible to distinguish modified fruits and vegetables from natural ones?

Since far from always purchased products contain information about the presence of transgenes in them (and even more so - reliable), you yourself need to know at least the main signs of the presence of GMOs in a particular product.

In countries such as the USA, Canada and Argentina, transgenic corn, beets, potatoes, soybeans, and rice are grown.

In Russia, they can be used in the production of confectionery, sweets, including chocolates, in the production of milk and sausage and meat products, baking bread, as well as in baby food.

GMO, Genetically modified organism- a living organism whose genotype has been artificially altered using genetic engineering methods

It is widely known that many products may contain GM additives or be completely genetically modified. This miracle of modern science is used to qualitatively change the properties of a product. To do this, scientists introduce into the gene structure of a plant or animal the gene of another plant or animal. But the effect of the introduced gene has not yet been fully studied, so no one knows how useful or harmful products containing GM additives are for humans.

It is up to you and you alone to decide whether or not to eat such foods, and if you are determined to eat natural foods without GM additives, you need to learn to recognize such foods.

If you decide to completely abandon genetically modified foods, then you just need to remember a few signs of GMOs.

Signs of GMOs in foods on your table

1. Gm products do not spoil for a long time, so if vegetables or fruits are perfectly shaped, have been in the store for a long time and do not change, most likely they are GMOs.

2. If the product Made in America or Asia and contains corn, potato starch, soy flour, then it is probably GMO.

3. If the product is manufactured in Europe and has the label "Does not contain GMO", it is most likely an environmentally friendly product. But believing the green circles on products that say "non-GMO" is somewhat difficult in this regard.

4. If sausage is cheap, then most likely soy concentrate is added to it, which may be a GM additive.

5. If you or your family have an allergy, perhaps this is the body's reaction to the use of GM foods.

GMOs cannot be distinguished from pure foods without laboratory testing, so your health and the health of your children depends only on you.

Genetically modified organisms are most often used in the production of food products, which include soy, rapeseed, corn and potatoes. And it can be: meat, bakery, fish and confectionery. Most often, these products contain vegetable proteins based on soy. In addition, there are a large number of different GMO food supplements.

Nutritionists, doctors and psychologists advise getting rid of the phobia of genetically modified foods, and worrying more about proper, balanced nutrition. Less frequent visits to fast food places like McDonald's, eat less Snickers and drink Coca-Cola.

It is also useful to remember the names of some companies that, according to the state register, supply GM raw materials to their customers in Russia or are themselves producers:

Central Soya Protein Group, Denmark;
. OOO "BIOSTAR TRADE", St. Petersburg;
. CJSC "Universal", Nizhny Novgorod;
. Monsanto Co., USA;
. Protein Technologies International Moscow, Moscow;
. Agenda LLC, Moscow;
. ZAO ADM-Food Products, Moscow;
. JSC "GALA", Moscow;
. CJSC Belok, Moscow;
. Dera Food Technology N.V., Moscow;
. Herbalife International of America, USA;
. OY FINNSOYPRO LTD, Finland;
. Salon Sport-Service LLC, Moscow;
. Intersoy, Moscow.

Most products based on soy not produced in the US, but outside of Russia, can also be transgenic. If the label proudly says “vegetable protein”, it is most likely soy and very likely transgenic.

Often GMOs can be hidden behind E indices. However, this does not mean that all E supplements contain GMOs or are transgenic. You just need to know which E can, in principle, contain GMOs or their derivatives.

It is primarily soy lecithin or E 322 lecithin: binds water and fat together and is used as a fat element in formula milks, biscuits, chocolate, riboflavin (B2) otherwise known as E 101 and E 101A, can be produced from GM microorganisms. It is added to cereals, soft drinks, baby food and weight loss products. Caramel (E 150) and xanthan (E 415) can also be produced from GM grain.

Other additives that may contain GM components: E 153, E 160d, E 161c, E 308-9, E-471, E 472a, E 473, E 475, E 476b, E 477, E479a, E 570, E 572, E 573, E 620, E 621, E 622, E 633, E 624, E 625, E951.

Sometimes on the labels the names of additives are indicated only in words, they also need to be able to navigate. Let's take a look at the most common components.

Soybean Oil: Used in sauces, spreads, cakes and well-done foods in the form of fat to add extra flavor and quality. Vegetable oil or vegetable fats: most commonly found in biscuits, hard-fried foods such as chips. Maltodextrin: A type of starch that acts as a "master agent" used in baby food, powdered soups, and powdered desserts.
Glucose or Glucose Syrup: Sugar, which can be made from cornstarch, is used as a sweetener. Found in drinks, desserts and fast food.
Dextrose: Like glucose, it can be made from cornstarch. Used in cakes, chips and cookies to achieve brown color. Also used as a sweetener in high energy sports drinks.
Aspartame, aspasvit, aspamix: A sweetener that can be produced using a GM bacterium is restricted in several countries and is reported to have received a lot of complaints, mainly related to fainting syndrome, from consumers in the United States. Aspartame is found in carbonated water, diet sodas, chewing gum, ketchups, etc.

Many people think that the label "modified starch" on a product means that the product contains GMOs. This even led to the fact that in 2002 the Legislative Assembly of the Perm region at its meeting included yoghurts with modified starch in the list of GM products illegally distributed in the region. In fact, modified starch is obtained chemically without the use of genetic engineering. But starch itself can have a genetically engineered origin if it was obtained from GM corn, GM potatoes.

During the test, the highest percentage of GM soybeans was found in the Veal Traditional boiled sausage produced by the Cherkizovsky plant. GMIs were most often found in the products of the same manufacturer, as well as in the products of the D.E.C. V.S. company (trademark "Rollton").

Among the manufacturers whose products contain GMOs, there were also:

LLC "Daria - semi-finished products";
. OOO Meat Processing Plant Klinskiy;
. MPZ "Tagansky";
. MPZ "Kampomos";
. CJSC "Vichunai";
. LLC "MLM-RA";
. Tolsto-products LLC;
. Ostankino MPK;
. LLC “Sausage plant “Bogatyr””;
. Rose Marie Ltf LLC;
. ML "Mikoyanovsky";
. JSC "Tsaritsyno";
. JSC "Lianozovsky sausage factory"

Our favorite dumplings also turned out to be genetically modified, namely: “Dumplings without haste, pork and beef”, “Daria classic dumplings”, GMOs were found in “Vkusnye” beef steaks.

List of genetically modified foods:

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are being developed as biological weapons, a means of curbing population growth, and a means of undermining the food security of nations.

So first on the list:

Lipton tea

Nescafe coffee

Modified coffee is now actively grown by Nescafe. So far, vast plantations of such coffee are grown only in Vietnam.

Honey can be harvested from genetically modified plants.

There is a high frequency of information that bees cannot pollinate genetically modified buckwheat. So, there is one.

Rice. In general, it is better to buy not anonymous varieties of plant products, but quite specific ones. For example, Basmati rice. There is a high probability that in this case the product will not be GMO.

Anonymous rice, as well as Chinese or Taiwanese, is most likely transgenic.

Russia is one of the main importers of this product from China. However, according to environmentalists, the Chinese have been producing GM rice unofficially and exporting it for two years now.

The fact that genetically modified rice is illegally grown in China was reported by environmentalists in April. “In the spring of 2005, Greenpeace took samples of rice obtained from Chinese suppliers, farmers and millers for genetic testing at the German Genescan laboratory,” Greenpeace Russia spokeswoman Maya Kolikova told NI. - It turned out that more than 2/3 of the samples (19 out of 25) were genetically modified.

When interviewing farmers and grain suppliers from China, we found out that for more than two years, transgenic rice has been illegally grown and actively sold both domestically and abroad.”

The situation, according to environmentalists, is aggravated by the fact that the Chinese government is considering the possibility of legalizing the industrial production of GM rice. The Greens believe that the Russians will suffer the most from the actions of the Chinese authorities - deliveries of the product from this country account for more than 60% of all our rice imports.

However, in this case there are not only minuses, but also pluses. Indeed, until now, rice supplied to Russia was formally considered unmodified, and no checks were made for the content of GMI in it. Therefore, no one can say how many transgenes we have already eaten and will eat again. If the consumer has information about where the rice comes from, he will be able to decide for himself whether to buy this product or not.

Ecologists, however, see the problem not so much in the cereal itself, which can really be abandoned, but in the distribution of products with the addition of rice flour, including many children's products - milk formulas and cereals, noodles, semi-finished products. Manufacturers, as a rule, do not indicate the country where the ingredients come from.

I would like to point out that "Indica", a term found on rice packs, is not the original name of any variety. It just means long grain rice. It may also be from China.

Attention! Signs of transgenic fruits and vegetables.

Is it possible to distinguish modified fruits and vegetables from natural ones?

Too clean, little different from each other potato tubers or perfectly shaped tomatoes - a reason to think. After all, a sure sign of natural natural products is the presence in the total mass of "eaten" by insects and rotten specimens. GM foods are never eaten by insects! If you cut a natural tomato or strawberry, they will immediately give juice, unnatural ones retain their shape.

The most famous products containing GM ingredients:

(according to Greenpeace)

1. Snickers chocolate bars

3. Maggi spices

4 Pringles

Vegetable counters are littered with "Volgograd" tomatoes, like twins similar to Turkish ones. It turns out that in Volgograd for several years only imported "plastic" varieties without taste and smell have been grown on a mass scale.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they turn out to be GMOs. I stopped buying tomatoes of these varieties, and I rarely bought them before.

From the article by E. Yakusheva “What are transgenic products?”:

Now 90% of transgenic food exports are corn and soybeans. Popcorn, which is sold everywhere on the streets, is 100% made from GM corn, and is still not labeled accordingly. Soy products from North America or Argentina are 80% GM products.

GM foods are attractive to retailers. For example, genetically modified vegetables and fruits are 4-5 times cheaper than their natural counterparts.

From the book of Liniza Zhuvanovna Zhalpanova:

"Foods That Are Killing You":

Transgenic products are purchased by Russia in other countries with the permission of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation. According to statistics, about 70% of imported products are made from genetically modified raw materials. Such products include: soy products, flour, chocolate, chocolate bars, wine, baby food, milk powder, milk, kefir, yogurt, cottage cheese, carbonated drinks, canned corn and tomatoes, corn oil, biscuits, starch, soy protein, soy oil, soy sauce, lecithin, cottonseed oil, syrups, tomato sauces, coffee and coffee drinks, popcorn, breakfast cereals, etc.

Some of the imported beer is also believed to contain genetically modified molecules taken over by the beer from the modified yeast.

According to the National Association for Genetic Safety, about 1/3 of all products on the Russian market contain genetically modified components.

Greenpeace handbook "How to avoid the use of products with genetically modified ingredients (GM products)?"

You can from here, from the Greenpeace website

The directory contains lists of food enterprises divided into three categories (green, orange and red lists) according to the criterion of the presence of GM components in products.

The New Year's menu often includes canned store-bought vegetables. But canned corn and green peas are highly undesirable. They are GMO.

According to a month and a half study, our food is simply crammed with genetically modified organisms. Moreover, the most popular food in our area is sausages, dumplings, dry soups, canned vegetables, chocolates.

Environmentalists (Greenpeace and the All-Ukrainian Ecological League) categorically include in this list products of the most famous brands - Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Nestle, Gallina Blanka, Knorr, Lipton, Bonduel. For a complete list of companies that have confirmed that their products may contain GM ingredients or have not denied their use, see www.ecoleague.net.

“The results of the study showed that in 18 out of 42 randomly selected food products, the content of genetically modified soybeans exceeded 3 percent,” said Mikhail Mukharovskiy, General Director of Ukrmetrteststandart. “Nine of them didn’t list the presence of soy protein at all.”

Bonduel is thus blacklisted!

I understand that the accuracy of what is included in the list is not guaranteed, as the sources of information may be questionable. But otherwise, I have practically no way to keep such a list at all.

Orchard, Rich puree - genetically modified products.

By the way, the very first genetically modified product on the market is a food banana, and any one (to increase productivity, it has, roughly speaking, a duplicated set of chromosomes).

If about a banana: artificially induced polyploidy is also a form of genetic modification (because the chromosome set becomes larger compared to the original organism), most importantly, cheap and angry. But journalists have not yet learned how to scare people with it.

The Mistral company, probably, deliberately does not mark on the packs the country of growth of those cereals and legumes that are packed in them. The fact is that she "lit up" in the sale of American crops, which, most likely, are genetically modified. Not labeled "Basmati Rice" either. Unfortunately, as I only found out today, it could be transgenic with a high degree of probability. From the book Seeds of Destruction. The Hidden Underlying of Genetic Manipulation, by William F. Engdahl:

RiceTech, a Texas biotech company, has decided that it will receive patent payments for Basmati rice, a variation that has been a daily staple in India, Pakistan and Asia for thousands of years. In 1998, RiceTech patented genetically modified Basmati rice, and thanks to US laws prohibiting the labeling of genetic products, RiceTech was able to sell it legally, labeling it as regular Basmati rice. RiceTech was found to have taken possession of precious Basmati seeds through dubious means, which had been deposited with the Rockefeller Foundation's International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines (IRRI). (10)

In the name of "security," IRRI duplicated a priceless collection of rice seeds from the Philippines and stored it in a seed bank in Fort Collins, Colorado, with the very dubious promise that the seeds would be kept as a safe seed stock for rice farmers. The IRRI convinced the farmers that it would serve their own security to provide their priceless finds in rice seed varieties to the IRRI.

In Colorado, far from the Philippines, MNIIR donated valuable seeds (without which RiceTech might not have made its patented genetic modifications) to RiceTech researchers, who immediately patented everything that was possible. They knew it was highly illegal: Even in Texas, rice researchers know that Basmati rice doesn't usually grow in the dusty plains around Texas' Crawford. (eleven)

RiceTek, in collusion with MNIIR, stole the seeds for its patent. In addition, according to the carefully crafted rules set by the Rockefeller Foundation's IRRI, although genebank seeds cannot be patented, any man-made improved variation based on them can be patented.

Variety "Jasmine" also has a GM modification.

From the article “Transgenic Senior Tomato and Dolly the Sheep…”:

You can delay the ripening of already harvested fruits by placing them in special conditions. With the help of carbon dioxide, the action of ethylene released by the fruits is blocked. These properties are manipulated by merchants carrying bananas, citrus fruits, and vegetables - and tomatoes in particular. They are harvested green, and on the way they are treated with ethylene, which causes artificial maturation. Such fruits and vegetables lose their taste, ripen unevenly. And it's easy to verify this. For example, the tomatoes that we buy on the market are red on the outside, but white on the inside. The delay in ripening is also connected with the fact that basically those tomatoes that we sell are imported from Turkey, and they are all transgenic. Even on the boxes in which they are packed, it is written: TRANSGEN.

Excerpts from the book of Mikhail Efremov: “Caution! Harmful products!

E-570 - Fatty Acids (fatty acids);

E-951 - Aspartame (aspartame, or nutrosvit).

Additives based on GM components:

Riboflavin (B2) otherwise known as E 101 and E 101A, made from GM microorganisms, is approved for sale in a number of countries. It is added to cereals, soft drinks, baby food and weight loss products. Caramel (E 150) and xanthan (E 415) can be made from grain.

Lecithin (E 322) is produced from soy, which can be genetically modified. Such soy is used, in particular, by the Neslte company in its chocolate, baby food and other products. Other additives that may contain GM components: E 153, E 160 d, E 161 c, E 308-9, E-471, E 472a, E 473, E 475, E 476 b, E 477, E479 a, E 570, E 572, E 573, E 620, E 621, E 622, E 633, E 624, E 625.

I emphasize that food additives for any purpose (technological, to "improve" consumer qualities) can be included in dietary supplements as well. Therefore, it is important to know which of the food additives are prohibited or dangerous.

I saw how dairy production works. Only milk after that is not very desirable to drink.

And only raw cow's milk can be consumed. You can make yogurt from the store, and not from anyone, but preferably from the one on which it is written that it is made from natural (whole) cow's milk (its fat content is usually indicated as 3.4-6%). Drinking such milk in its pure form is not worth it, because it is pasteurized and with its regular use, the joints will start to hurt after a while - most likely due to the deposition of inorganic calcium in them, which appears during pasteurization (it passes from an organically bound form to an inorganic one). But you can make yogurt out of it - it turns out quite well and does not cause problems.

But any milk normalized for fat content is a real poison. And even yogurt from such milk turns out to be unimportant, except that from milk with a fat content of no more than 1% - lactobacilli at the very least cope with such concentrations of modified milk fat.

We read the composition on the label: modified soy, modified starch, and so on.
