Hidden dangers of genetically modified foods Although scientists have not yet determined whether genetically modified foods are harmful, some potential hidden dangers are still doubtful. The first is to question the toxicity of genetically modified products. In order to improve the insect resistance of soybean, some insect-resistant genes have been added into transgenic soybean, but these genes are likely to cause harm to human body. Secondly, some resistant proteins are added to transgenic soybeans, mainly to resist insects, and people with allergies are very sensitive to resistant proteins, so they are likely to cause allergic reactions.
Can genetically modified soybean oil be eaten? In fact, there is no substantial evidence to question the existence of genetically modified foods, just some guesses. Moreover, since the country allows the emergence of genetically modified foods, it means that you can safely eat genetically modified foods. In addition to genetically modified soybeans, there are actually more and more genetically modified foods planted in China. There are more than 20 kinds of crops alone, so genetically modified soybean oil is edible.
However, if the economic strength allows, it will be more reassuring to choose non-GM soybean oil. After all, transgenic technology has not appeared for a long time, even if it will cause some harm to the human body, it will not be effective in a short time. So for this unknown product, it is best to choose a wait-and-see attitude. After all, if genetically modified foods are found to be really harmful to the body after decades, they will not have much impact on their own bodies.
Moreover, non-GM foods are certainly more beneficial to the body, if not, at least harmless. Moreover, from the price point of view, non-GM soybean oil is also more expensive, and the reason why it is cheap is definitely true.
