有人说转基因食品是否有害,至今没有证据。事实上,国内外发现的转基因食品的有害证据多达数百组(以发表的论文计)。对于这些证据,挺转专家总是选择性失明,或者是“王顾左右而言他”。但不管你认账不认账,那些科学实验证据都在那里,留给历史去判断。今天,中国日报网又报道了一个惊人的发现:转基因玉米含有大量毒素。要是用这样的玉米喂养动物,或者人吃,能不出问题吗?研究揭露转基因玉米含大量毒素 Study reveals GMO corn to be highly toxic 来源:中国日报网 字号 !--enpproperty 2013-04-19 09:01:40.0研究揭露转基因玉米含大量毒素转基因玉米大量毒素,转基因玉米有毒,转基因食品有毒,GMO corn highly toxic,genetically modified corn toxic,双语新闻,双语Study reveals GMO corn to be highly toxic 双语 1159410双语新闻2@lt/nodesearchname/enpproperty-- A leaked study examining genetically-modified corn reveals that the lab-made alternative to organic crops contains a startling level of toxic chemicals. A leaked study examining genetically-modified corn reveals that the lab-made alternative to organic crops contains a startling level of toxic chemicals. An anti- GMO website has posted the results of an education-based consulting company’s comparison of corn types, and the results reveal that genetically modified foods may be more hazardous than once thought. The study, the 2012 Corn Comparison Report by Profit Pro, was published recently on the website for Moms Across America March to Label GMOs, a group that says they wish to “raise awareness and support Moms with solutions to eat GMO Free as we demand GMO labeling locally and nationally simultaneously.” They are plotting nationwide protests scheduled for later this year. The report, writes the website’s Zen Honeycutt, was provided by a representative for De Dell Seed Company, an Ontario-based farm that’s touted as being Canadian only non-GMO corn seed company. “The claims that ‘There is no difference between GMO corn and NON Gmo corn’ are false,” says Honeycutt, who adds she was “ floored ” after reading the study. According to the analysis, GMO corn tested by Profit Pro contains a number of elements absent from traditional corn, including chlorides, formaldehyde and glyphosate. While those elements don’t appear naturally in corn, they were present in GMO samples to the tune of 60 ppm , 200pm and 13 ppm, respectively. Honecutt says that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (FDA) mandates that the level of glyphosate in American drinking water not exceed 0.7 ppm and adds that organ damage in some animals has been linked to glyphosate exposure exceeding 0.1 ppm. “Glyphosate is a strong organic phosphate chelator that immobilizes positively charged minerals such as manganese, cobalt, iron, zinc copper,” Dr. Don Huber attested during a separate GMO study recently released, adding that those elements “are essential for normal physiological functions in soils, plants and animals.” “Glyphosate draws out the vital nutrients of living things and GMO corn is covered with it,” adds Honeycutt, who notes that the nutritional benefits rampant in natural corn are almost entirely removed from lab-made seeds: in the samples used during the study, non-GMO corn is alleged to have 437-times the amount of calcium in genetically modified versions, and 56- and 7-times the level of magnesium and manganese, respectively. 点击查看更多双语新闻 (Source: rt.com) 一项被泄漏出来的检测转基因玉米的研究揭示,实验室造出的有机玉米替代品中的有毒化学物质含量惊人。 一家反转基因食品网站已经上传了某教育型咨询公司对两种玉米的比较结果,结果揭示转基因食品的危害可能比人们先前认为的更大。 咨询公司Profit Pro的2012玉米比较研究报告近日发布在“全美母亲呼吁转基因食品标签”网站上,该组织称他们希望“通过要求在地方和全国出售的转基因食品上同步贴上标签来提高母亲们在这方面的意识,为母亲们提供食用非转基因食品的途径”。他们还计划在今年晚些时候策划全国范围的抗议活动。 网站的真•哈尼卡特称,该研究报告是由德•戴尔种子公司的一名代表提供的。德•戴尔种子公司的农场位于安大略,号称是加拿大唯一一家出售非转基因玉米种子的公司。 哈尼卡特说:“那些宣称‘转基因玉米和非转基因玉米没有差别’的论调是错误的。”她还表示,自己在读过这一研究报告后被“震撼了”。 根据这一分析报告,Profit Pro公司检测的转基因玉米含有传统玉米所没有的多种物质,包括氯化物、甲醛和草甘膦。天然玉米中不含这些物质,但在转基因玉米的样品中,这几种物质的含量却分别高达百万分之六十、百万分之二百和百万分之十三。 哈尼卡特说,美国环境保护局规定美国饮用水中的草甘膦含量不得高于百万分之零点七,而且她还补充道,某些动物的器官损伤已被证实和草甘膦含量超过百万分之零点一有关。 唐•胡贝尔博士在新近发布的另一篇独立的转基因研究报告中证实道:“草甘膦是一种强力的有机磷酸螯合剂,它能阻滞如锰、钴、铁、锌、铜等有益矿物质的流动。”胡贝尔博士还补充道,这些化学元素“对于土壤、植物和动物的正常生理机能至关重要。” 哈尼卡特补充说:“草甘膦会把生物中至关重要的营养素抽离出去,而转基因玉米则含有大量草甘膦。”她指出,天然玉米中所含的丰富营养价值几乎全部被从实验室造出的转基因种子中剔除了:在研究所用的样品中,据称非转基因玉米中的钙含量是转基因玉米的437倍,镁含量和锰含量也分别是转基因玉米的56倍和7倍。 相关阅读 阿根廷转基因奶牛能产人奶 研究:转基因“紫番茄”或可抗癌 研究:朋友多少由基因决定 研究:男人爱看美女基因使然 女人爱购物 都是基因惹的祸 研究发现高跟鞋情结可遗传 (中国日报网英语点津 陈丹妮) Vocabulary: GMO: 转基因生物(Genetically Modified Organism) tout: 吹捧 floor: 使震惊 to the tune of: 达到……程度,达到……之多 ppm: 百万分之…… immobilize: 使不动;使停止流通
据美国《化学与工程新闻》( CEN )周刊网 站 2013 年 2 月 6 日 报道, 蒙面毒素目前有可能会逃避食品安全监测,但是肠道内的细菌则可以使其隐藏在谷物中的毒素释放出来。被 揭露的谷物如 葡萄糖分子 修饰的小麦霉菌毒素脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇( deoxynivalenol ,简称 DON ) , 其结构见下图中的 顶部结构;人类肠道细菌可以使 DON 分子发生分解,游离出其中的葡萄糖分子,同时形成游离毒素 ( 如下图底部结构式所示 ) 。 Unmasked Crops such as wheat modify the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol with a glucose molecule (top).
