a sta je sa mesom zivotinja koje jedu modifikovanu hranu? ili mlijekom?
Nisam struchnjak, ali koliko vidim na vijestima, Englezi se orijentishu na mlijeko, jaja i ostalo sa oznakama tipa GMO FREE ili NON GMO, tako da EU dozvola za uvoz/prodaja GM hrane praktichno, ne funkcionishe. Naravno, kod njih je obavezno oznachavanje ovakve hrane (osim ako je prisutno ispod 0,9%GMO). Prodajni centri i prodavnice izbjegavaju prodaju GM hrane i tako je, skoro potpuno, opstruirana odluka o dozvoli uvoza.
Da li je shtetna ova hrana, ja ne znam, ali kada bih mogao birati NE BIH JE NIKADA JEO.
In January 2001, experts at the United Nations World Health Organization issued a
report calling for much stricter testing procedures to evaluate the potential allergenic
effects of genetically engineered foods before they reach the fields or the
marketplace (World Health Organization/Food and Agriculture Organization report
4
entitled "Evaluation of Allergenicity of Genetically Modified Foods," issued by a Joint
FAO/WHO Expert Consultation on Allergenicity of Foods Derived from Biotechnology,
January 22-25, 2001).
The security of GM products cannot be guaranteed in terms of their toxicity either. In
a scientific review done in 2000 about the potential toxic effects derived from the
consumption of GMOs, it was discovered that there was a complete absence of data
in scientific reviews related to this subject. The conclusion of this review was that
there were not enough experimental studies about the potential negative effects of
GMOs on human and animal health to justify the safety of those products (Domingo
JL, Science 2000).
In addition, GM food may cause damage to the digestive and immune systems since
it contains artificial proteins which are not recognized by digestive enzymes, and
cannot be digested, or if they are digested, they are synthesized in degenerated
components (Dr. Arpad Pusztai, Balague, 1998). At the same time, the presence of
new proteins could increase the existing potential of certain toxic substances that
exist in innocuous quantities in food. Other beneficial substances, even some that
can protect against cancer (proteins and vitamins), could be diminished. The genes
on which the debate is focused, the 35s found in the samples, are the antibiotic
resistance genes. The GM food that contains these genes may cause the transference
of this resistance to antibiotics to existing bacteria in the human body. With regards
to this issue, the British Medical Association issued the following statement “The use
of antibiotic resistance marker genes should be prohibited in GM food, because of
their resistance to antibiotics which is one of the major threats to human health in
the XXI century”.
