Генно-модифицираните храни

По повод етикетите намерих пак в същият сайт нещо доста интересно! Важи за цялата ЕО:

деzита , аz четох наскоро , че в ДЕ се сади все по малко генномодиф. царевица , която се полzва само zа фураж и бяха иzброени zа кои кравеферми. Млякото отивало zа Кампина и Хумана. Има доста информация в едно списание, което радават беzплатно в Алнатура. Може и да има онлайн http://www.alnatura.de/a10000.php
Аz откак zабременях (преди 2 г. ) вzех доста внимателно да иzбирам храните и да се интересувам. Вече в ксщи всичко, което се купува zа храна е био, та няма опасност от генно модифицирани. Постепенно се стигна до всичко  Вече био храни има въс всеки супермаркет (поне млечни иzделия и zеленчуци), месо телешко, пуешко и свинсо вzимам от Едека, пилешко от Фамила. Риба, агнешко, кайма от алнатура ... Цените са доста по високи, но не иzлиzа по скъпо като цяло, zащото се купуват по малки количества, не се преяжда и не се иzхвърля храна 

Аз пък какво намерих за Англия

Направо ме разбихте с тези генномодифицирани храни в Европа  и аз си мислях, че са забранени тука.
Уж чета етикетите и гледам какво купувам, но до сега не съм виждала обозначения за ГМ 

ами то и аз така си мислех, но....

И аз се присъединявам към мислещите 
Добре, че пусна темата да се информираме 

Аз от позиция на новак в чужбина реших да се информирам от отдавна прибиваващите аджеба кво ядем в къщи...

Напълно съгласна с вивита! Ние също минахме на БИО, купувам двойно по-малки коли4ества, но раз4итам на обещаното ка4ество. А и проблемът на небио храните е не само, 4е може да са евентуално генно модифицирани, ами пове4ето дори и да не са, са претъпкани с химикали ( консерванти,оцветители, всякакви Е-та, ...) А и да не забравяме отровата аспартам, която се намира във всеки втори продукт. Ето един интересен линк с Е-тата: http://www.analytica-bg.com/a_shop/index.php?targ=useful/e.html

A genetically modified food is a food product developed from a different genetically modified organism (GMO) such as a crop plant, animal or microorganisms, such as yeast. Genetically modified foods produced by genetic engineering have been available since the 1990s. The principal ingredients of GM foods derived from plants are soybean, maize, canola, cocoa beans, and cottonseed oil.

Some governments, such as those in the European Union and Japan, have emphasised risks over benefits from GM foods and require mandatory labeling and traceability, while others, such as the United States, have no such requirements. This has led to the United States claiming that bans on the sale of GM products violate free trade agreements and has resulted in trade wars over the requirements for GM food products.[1] Many scientific institutions, even in the European Union and Japan, however, do not judge the risk of unintended changes in composition of GM foods to exceed the risk currently exhibited by conventional crops.[2]
Four countries represent 99% of total GM surface in 2001: United States (68%), Argentina (22%), Canada (6%) and China (3%). It is estimated that 70% of products on U.S. grocery shelves include GM-derived ingredients
In August 1998 widespread concern, especially in Europe, was sparked by remarks by nutrition researcher, Dr Árpád Pusztai, regarding some of his research into the safety of GM foods.

Pusztai claimed his experiments showed that rats fed on potatoes genetically engineered to express a lectin from snowdrop had suffered serious damage to their immune systems and shown stunted growth. The lectin expressed by the genetically modified potatoes is toxic to insects and nematodes and is allegedly toxic to mammals. He was criticized by leading British politicians.......

The general principle of producing a GMO is to add novel genetic material into an organism's genome to cause both new and useful traits. Often these novel traits would not be possible by conventional breeding.

The origins of genetic engineering represent a series of sequential scientific advances from the discovery of DNA to the production of the first recombinant bacteria (E .coli) expressing a frog gene in 1973.[3] This led to concerns in the scientific community about the possible risks from genetic engineering and led to biologists meeting at the Asilomar Conference in Pacific Grove, California. The recommendations laid out from this conference were that government oversight of recombinant DNA research should be established until the technology was deemed safe.[4][5] Herbert Boyer then founded the first company to use recombinant DNA technology, Genentech, and in 1978 the company announced that it had produced a strain of E. coli that could produce the human insulin protein.[6][7] Herbert Boyer then founded the first company to use recombinant DNA technology, Genentech, and in 1978 the company announced that it had produced a strain of E. coli that could produce the human insulin protein.[8]

The first commercially grown genetically modified food crop was a tomato created by California company Calgene called the FlavrSavr.This tomato was made more resistant to rotting, by adding an antisense gene which interferes with the production of the enzyme polygalacturonase. Calgene submitted it to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for assessment in 1992; the agency determined that the FlavrSavr was in fact a tomato, did not constitute a health hazard, and did not need special labeling. Calgene was allowed to release it into the market in 1994, where it was welcomed by consumers who purchased the fruit at two to five times the price of standard tomatoes. However, production problems, and competition from a conventionally bred Long-Shelf-Life (LSL) variety prevented the product from becoming profitable, and Calgene was bought by Monsanto in 1995.Monsanto Company (NYSE: MON) is a multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation. It is the world's leading producer of the herbicide glyphosate, marketed as its flagship product, Roundup. Monsanto is also by far the leading producer of genetically engineered (GE) seed, holding 70%–100% market share for various crops. A variant of the FlavrSavr was used by Zeneca to produce tomato paste which was sold in Europe during the summer of 1996. Its labelling and pricing were designed as a marketing experiment which proved that, at the time, European consumers would accept genetically engineered foods. This attitude would be drastically changed after outbreaks of Mad cow disease weakened consumer trust in government regulators, and protesters rallied against the introduction of Monsanto's Roundup-Ready soybeans.

The next GM crops included insect protected cotton, introduced into the United States and Australia in 1997, and herbicide tolerant soybeans. These crops have been widely adopted both in the United States, and in countries that (unlike the European Union) depend heavily on unsubsidised farming (e.g. the Australian cotton industry). They have also been extensively planted in several developing countries (Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, India, and China) where agriculture is a major part of the total economy. Other successful GM crops include insect protected maize and herbicide tolerant maize cotton and rapeseed varieties.

Като гледам колко видове формула и бебешки храни съдържат GMO, ми настръхват косите!

Хм , и аз чух за първи път за това по бг. телевизия.Май не съм виждала тук(или по-скоро не съм обръщала внимание).
Толкова ли са вредни тия храни в крайна сметка?

Аз затова пазарувам от няколко месеца насам само био. Поне да има вкус храната.
Иначе все едно ядеш мукава

Ели, благодаря за линка. Прочетох там и първо помислих, че органичните бебешки продукти, които купувам "Earth's Best", са с ГМО, но после видях, че гледам в грешната колонка.
Но пък формулата ни е с ГМО. Браво.

Ami specialno plodovete mnogo lesno se poznavat koi sa GM. Sled kato nqmat semki sa takiva, inache kak shte se vazproizvejdat.
