There are many genetically modified varieties of corn, including but not limited to Monsanto's MON810, MON863 and MON89034, and Dow Chemical's Daizi cotton G1535. The transgenic technology of these varieties injects specific genes into corn to improve insect resistance, disease resistance, and yield, among other things.
Regarding safety, the safety of genetically modified corn is a highly controversial topic. Proponents argue that genetically modified corn can increase yields, reduce pesticide use and reduce environmental impact, while opponents are concerned about its potential risks to human health and the environment. Currently, there is widespread controversy about the safety of genetically modified foods worldwide, and more research is needed to evaluate their impact on human health and the environment.
It is important to note that many countries have strict regulations on the labeling of genetically modified foods to ensure consumers' right to know and choose. Therefore, consumers should pay attention to the food label when buying food to avoid buying unlabeled GMO food.
In addition, regarding the safety of genetically modified corn, international agencies and organizations are conducting a lot of research and monitoring. For example, agencies such as the World Health Organization, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and the European Food Safety Authority are constantly evaluating the safety of genetically modified foods to ensure the health and interests of the public.
In conclusion, the safety of maize transgenic varieties needs to be comprehensively considered in terms of scientific evidence, socioeconomic factors and ethical issues. In future research, risk assessment and monitoring of GM technologies need to be further strengthened to ensure their safety and sustainability.
