Kaya mukuzindikira kapena ayi, pali mwayi wabwino kuti mumadya zamoyo zosinthidwa ma genetic (kapena ma GMO) tsiku lililonse. Bungwe la Grocery Manufacturer’s Association likuyerekezera kuti 70 mpaka 80 peresenti ya chakudya chathu chili ndi zinthu zosinthidwa chibadwa.

Koma zakudya zodziwika bwinozi zakhala zikukambirana kwambiri zaposachedwa: Mwezi wa Epulo uno, Chipotle adalemba mitu pomwe adalengeza kuti chakudya chawo chidapangidwa ndi zinthu zonse zomwe sizili za GMO. Komabe, mlandu watsopano wa kalasi yomwe idaperekedwa ku California pa Ogasiti 28 ikuwonetsa kuti zonena za Chipotle sizimalemera chifukwa unyolowu umapereka nyama ndi mkaka kuchokera ku nyama zodyetsedwa ndi GMOs komanso zakumwa zokhala ndi madzi a chimanga a GMO, monga Coca-Cola.

N'chifukwa chiyani anthu amadana kwambiri ndi GMOs? Tikukweza chivindikiro pazakudya zomwe zimatsutsana. (Dziwani: Kodi awa ndi GMO Atsopano?)

1. Chifukwa Chake Alipo

Kodi mumadziwa? "Nthawi zambiri, timadziwa kuti chidziwitso cha ogula pa GMO ndi chochepa," akutero Shahla Wunderlich, Ph.D., pulofesa wa sayansi ya zaumoyo ndi zakudya ku Montclair State University yemwe amaphunzira za ulimi wopangira ulimi. Nazi izi: GMO yapangidwa kuti ikhale ndi zikhalidwe zomwe sizingachitike mwachilengedwe (nthawi zambiri, kuyimilira mankhwala a herbicides ndi / kapena kupanga tizilombo). Pali mitundu yambiri yazinthu zosinthidwa kunja uko-kupanga insulin yomwe imagwiritsidwa ntchito pochiza odwala matenda ashuga ndichitsanzo chimodzi.

Komabe, ma GMO amadziwika kwambiri pachakudya. Tengani Roundup Ready Corn, mwachitsanzo. Zasinthidwa kuti zisawonongeke ndi mankhwala a herbicides omwe amapha udzu wozungulira. Chimanga, soya, ndi thonje ndiwo mbewu zomwe zimasinthidwa kwambiri-inde, timadya thonje m'mafuta amtundu. Pali zina zambiri, komabe, monga canola, mbatata, nyemba, ndi shuga. (Onani mndandanda wathunthu wa mbewu zomwe zadutsa muster ya USDA kuyambira 1995.) Popeza zambiri mwa zakudyazo zimagwiritsidwa ntchito popanga zosakaniza, mwachitsanzo, mafuta a soya kapena shuga kapena chimanga, kuthekera kwawo kuti alowe mu chakudya ndi chachikulu. Makampani omwe amapanga ma GMO amakonda kunena kuti ndizofunikira - kuti tidyetse anthu omwe akukula padziko lonse lapansi, tiyenera kugwiritsa ntchito bwino malo omwe tili nawo, akutero Wunderlich. "Mwina mutha kupanga zochulukirapo, koma tikumva ngati iwonso akuyenera kupeza njira zina," akutero a Wunderlich. (PS Izi Zosakaniza 7 Zikukuwonetsani Zakudya.)

2. Kaya Ali Otetezeka

Zakudya zosinthidwa ndimakola m'masitolo akuluakulu mzaka za m'ma 90. Ngakhale izi zikuwoneka ngati kalekale, pambuyo pake, chidwi cha zaka khumi chakhala chikugwira ntchito - sizinatenge nthawi kuti asayansi athe kudziwa ngati kudya ma GMO kuli bwino. "Pali zinthu zingapo zomwe anthu akunena, ngakhale palibe umboni wa 100%," akutero a Wunderlich. "Chimodzi n'chakuti pali mwayi woti ma GMO amatha kuchititsa kuti anthu ena asagwirizane nawo; china ndi chakuti angayambitse khansa." Kafukufuku wochulukirapo akufunika, akutero Wunderlich. Kafukufuku wambiri wachitika mu nyama, osati anthu, kudyetsedwa mbewu zomwe zasinthidwa, ndipo zotsatira zake zakhala zosemphana. Kafukufuku wina wovuta amene anafalitsidwa mu 2012 ndi ofufuza ochokera ku France anasonyeza kuti mtundu umodzi wa chimanga cha GMO umayambitsa zotupa mu makoswe. Kafukufukuyu adasindikizidwanso pambuyo pake ndi akonzi a magazini yoyamba yomwe idasindikizidwa mu, Food and Chemical Toxicology.

3. Kumene Mungawapeze

Sakanizani mashelufu ku supermarket yomwe mumakonda, ndipo mwina mudzawona zinthu zina zikuyambitsa Chisindikizo Chosavomerezeka cha Project GMO. (Onani mndandanda wathunthu.) Non-GMO Project ndi gulu lodziyimira pawokha lomwe limatsimikizira kuti zinthu zomwe zili ndi zilembo zake zilibe zida zosinthidwa ma genetic. Chilichonse chokhala ndi dzina la USDA Organic ndichopanda GMO. Komabe, simudzawona zolemba zotsutsana zikuwonetsa izi pamenepo ndi zosinthidwa chibadwa mkati. Anthu ena akufuna kusintha izi: Mu 2014, Vermont idakhazikitsa lamulo loti GMO liyambe kugwira ntchito mu Julayi 2016 - ndipo pakadali pano likulimbana kwambiri kukhothi. Pakadali pano, Nyumba Yoyimilira ku U.S. Ngati iperekedwa ndi Senate ndikusainidwa kukhala lamulo, lipenga malamulo aliwonse aboma omwe akupha zoyesayesa za Vermont zofuna kulembedwa kwa GMO. (Zomwe zimatifikitsa ku: Zomwe Zimafunika Kwambiri pa Nutrition Label (Kupatula Ma calories)

Popanda kulemba zilembo, aliyense amene akufuna kupewa ma GMO akukumana ndi nkhondo yokwera: "Ndizovuta kuzipewa chifukwa zafalikira," akutero Wunderlich. Njira imodzi yochepetsera mwayi wanu wodya zakudya zosintha ndi kugula zokolola zakomweko kuchokera kumafamu ang'onoang'ono, abwino kwambiri, atero a Wunderlich. Minda yayikulu ikukula kwambiri ndi ma GMO, akutero. Kuphatikiza apo, chakudya chomwe mwalima kwanuko nthawi zambiri chimakhala chopatsa thanzi chifukwa chimasankhidwa chikacha, ndikupatsa nthawi yopanga zinthu zabwino monga ma antioxidants. Ng'ombe ndi ziweto zina zitha kudyetsedwa chakudya cha GMO-ngati mukufuna kupewa izi, fufuzani nyama yodyedwa ndi udzu.

4. Zomwe Mayiko Ena Amachita Pa Iwo

Nayi nkhani pomwe America ili kumbuyo kwazungulira: Zamoyo zosinthidwa zimalembedwa m'maiko 64. Mwachitsanzo, European Union (EU) yakhala ndi zofunikira zolembera GMO kwazaka zopitilira khumi. Pankhani ya GMO, mayiko awa "amakhala osamala kwambiri ndipo ali ndi malamulo ambiri," akutero a Wunderlich. Pamene chinthu chosinthidwa chibadwa chimatchulidwa pachakudya chophimbidwa, chimayenera kutsogozedwa ndi mawu oti "genetically modified." Chokhacho chokha? Zakudya zokhala ndi zosakwana 0.9 peresenti zosinthidwa ma genetic. Komabe, lamuloli silili opanda otsutsa: Mu pepala laposachedwa lofalitsidwa mu Zochitika mu Biotechnology, ofufuza ku Poland adati malamulo a EU a GMO amalepheretsa luso laulimi.

5. Kaya Ali Oipa Padziko Lapansi

Mfundo imodzi yonena za zakudya zosinthidwa ndi chibadwa ndikuti popanga mbewu zomwe mwachilengedwe zimatsutsana ndi owononga namsongole ndi tizirombo, alimi amatha kuchepetsa kugwiritsa ntchito mankhwala ophera tizilombo. Komabe, kafukufuku watsopano wofalitsidwa mu Sayansi Yoyang'anira Tizilombo akuwonetsa nkhani yovuta kwambiri pankhani yazomera zitatu zotchuka kwambiri. Kuyambira pomwe mbewu za GMO zidatuluka, kugwiritsa ntchito mankhwala ophera udzu pachaka kwatsika ku chimanga, koma kudali komweko ku thonje ndikuwonjezeka kwa soya. Kugula zakudya zam'deralo, zakuthupi mwina ndizosangalatsa kwambiri, atero a Wunderlich, chifukwa chakudya chamagulu chimalimidwa popanda mankhwala ophera tizilombo. Kuphatikiza apo, chakudya chomwe mwalima kwanuko sichiyenera kuyendayenda m'maiko ndi m'maiko, mayendedwe omwe amafunikira mafuta amafuta ndikupanga kuipitsa.
