China says no to Frankencorn

[CarlV]

It has to be bad if China bans it.

China seems to be making alternative news headlines all over the planet by destroying several large shipments of genetically-modified (GM) corn and corn seeds originating from the United States. At least three shipments of GM corn were detected at the Wanzai Port in Zhuhai City when government officials successfully intercepted them. Another several cartons of GM corn seeds were destroyed in the northern Chinese city of Harbin.

China has a law in place that states any importing of GMOs must be accompanied by the appropriate environmental and food safety tests by Chinese chosen institutions, not the biotech companies that manufacture the food. Yet in the United States and Canada, they reject simple GMO labelling that would let citizens know what they are eating.

GMOs have been shown to be harmful to health in multiple ways. It’s no wonder they are banned in dozens of countries worldwide. Japan and South Korea even banned the import of wheat that was recently found to be littered with GMOs. Scientists also recently discovered that GMO crops can damage mammalian blood cells
