直言了：轉基因危害兒童，英國認賬了！

　　就在中國農官再次鼓吹轉基因食品作物如何“安全”和如何“先進”的神話的時候，歐美傳來消息：轉基因食品作物造成健康危害和生態危害。

　　[1] 英國媒體報道說，調查報告指出，因足夠量食用了從美國進口的含有轉基因成分的兒童食品，英國兒童出現了足夠嚴重的“hyperactive”病變【按：一般翻譯為多動癥】。按照美國衛生部門的定義，“hyperactive”屬于神經過敏類型的“超動”病態，即肢體發生超常運動而患者失去了控制力?？梢姡D基因食品中的轉基因毒素成分可進入人體并發揮作用(包括對人類神經系統的破壞作用)。

　　可見，中國農官所謂的轉基因食品“安全”和“沒有食品安全問題報告”等言論，都是假話。

　　[2] 路透社報道，美國科研調查報告指出，美國玉米產區發生了非常嚴重的作物損害情況，成因是轉基因玉米的抗蟲作用喪失，害蟲具有了“抗體”能力而可繼續破壞玉米作物。對此，孟山都公司已經承認并同意要拿出解決問題方案。

　　其實，數年前，美國反思轉基因商業化的時候，美國相關機構的學者(包括孟山都公司資助的學者)的正式報告就已經說明那種情況可能發生。對此，老美紐約時報報道概括說：長期種植轉基因作物很可能是事與愿違或得不償失。

　　不言而喻，中國農官所謂的轉基因作物功能多么偉大的神話和”沒有報告”的謊言，再次破產了。

　　On sale in Tesco, GM cereal that makes children hyperactive。

　　A Frankenstein food breakfast cereal designed for children and packed with additives linked to bad behaviour and hyperactivity is being sold in Britain.

　　Lucky Charms, which is imported from the US, is the first mainstream GM food to go on sale in this country. The cereal, which is being sold by Tesco, is at the vanguard of what GM advocates hope will be numerous products to arrive in kitchens here. Its use of genetically modified corn is buried in small print on the package.(摘錄完)。

　　GMO corn failing to protect fields from pest damage: report。

　　By Carey Gillam, Wed Aug 28, 2013 2:46pm EDT。

　　http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/08/28/us-usa-gmo-corn-rootworm-idUSBRE97R12R20130828 。

　　(Reuters) - Researchers in the key corn-growing state of Illinois are finding significant damage from rootworms in farm fields planted in a rotation with a genetically modified corn that is supposed to protect the crop from the pests, according to a new report.

　　Evidence gathered from fields in two Illinois counties suggests that pest problems are mounting as the rootworms grow ever more resistant to efforts to fight them, including crop rotation combined with use of the biotech corn, according to the report issued by Michael Gray, a professor of crop sciences at the University of Illinois.

　　Farmers across "a wide swath of Illinois" could face formidable challenges in protecting their corn crops from the hungry insects, Gray said in the August 27 report.

　　The crop damage was found in fields where the specialized biotech corn had been planted in a rotation following soybeans, a practice which typically helps beat back the rootworm problems as western corn rootworm adults typically lay eggs in cornfields and not in soybean fields.

　　But a large number of adult western corn rootworms were collected in both the damaged corn fields and from adjacent soybean fields, Gray said.(摘錄完)。
