I believe everyone has heard of the word genetically modified, because in some food advertisements, there are statements such as using non-genetically modified materials as raw materials. For those who have heard of genetically modified foods, do you know that genetically modified corn exists? Although this type of corn is not widely promoted in China, it does exist. Today, the editor will tell you what the hazards of genetically modified corn are, and also let you know the pictures of genetically modified corn.

What is genetically modified corn

Genetically modified corn is corn that is grown using modern high-tech technology to transfer certain genes from other organisms into corn, causing the original genetic genes of the corn to change. The appearance and nutritional content of the grown corn will undergo significant changes.

The dangers of genetically modified corn

1. Although genetically modified corn is not widely used in China, a cattle farm in Germany once used genetically modified corn as feed to feed dairy cows. Later, a large number of dairy cows developed severe diarrhea symptoms, and finally more than 70 cows died from eating genetically modified corn.

2. Brazil is the first place in the world to start growing genetically modified corn. However, women in this country have developed serious infertility due to long-term consumption of genetically modified corn, resulting in the infertility rate among Brazilian women now being as high as around 50 percent.

3. A few years ago, Guangxi, China also promoted a genetically modified corn variety called "355". Later, this corn was called spermicidal corn because investigations confirmed that about 60% of local men who had consumed "355" had substandard semen, which means that these men will no longer have the ability to reproduce in their lifetime. From this, it can be seen that genetically modified corn is extremely harmful to humans.
