Is there any benefit to using genetic modification to improve microbiome? Professors crack the common myths about base-improving crops

Health     8:58am, 17 June 2025

I published the Chaos Wen Qian World on August 1, 2017, pointing out that the "Wen Qian World Weekly" published on June 9, 2013 was full of errors. Reader Willy left a message on 2024-3-22: I don’t know if the microbial microbial drug causes allergies! But I have been allergic for more than 20 years ⋯

The title of "Wenxi's World Weekly" is "A Little Crisis of Genetic Modification Monsanto Monsanto, and there is a passage in the program: "Monsanto's genetically modified wheat seeds spread all over the United States, becoming our bread, and the birthday cake you give to your children."

{9 99}

However, in 2013, there was no basic change in the world. Even in 2017, when I published my article, I didn’t have any basic changes to Xiaomai’s death. At that time, the tests made in countries around the world did not find that any of the small wheat products on the market were genetically modified. So, how could there be "Basic Change Mac" become your birthday cake for your child?"

No matter what, since there are readers who are leaving messages now, I will search for relevant information again. I found a summary article published in 2019. Genetic Modification for Wheat Improvement: From Transgenesis to Genome Editing. Its abstract is: In order to feed the growing population, global micromass production should increase from the current 3.3 to turbocharged to about 5 tonnes by 2050. To achieve this goal, existing breeding practices must be based on new technologies based on the latest results of drug gene group measurement, ……. ……This summary summarizes recent successes in applying microbial gene manipulation to increase production, improve microbial nutrition and health-promoting quality, and enhance crop resistance to various biological and abiotic dysfunctions.

I also found an article published on April 4, 2022. The World’s First Genetically Engineered Wheat Is Here (the world's first genetically engineered Wheat Is Here). Its subtitle is "Argentina's new base-modified drought-tolerant microbial can bring huge environmental benefits." I sorted out and translated the key points as follows (red words):

In October 2020, Argentina approved the world's first genetically modified microphone for transplantation and consumption. After Argentina received approval from the supervisory authority to export to Brazil, the main consumer of Argentina, at the end of 2021, its production increased significantly in 2021 and will continue to expand in 2022.

When other countries decide whether to follow the example, the experience in Argentina is important. Genetically modified drought-tolerant malt (named HB4) in Argentina may bring huge environmental benefits.

HB4 grows better with less water, which helps reduce land use. As Argentina's small-scale production declines, the sowing area must be expanded. This is the pressure that is facing the world: to meet the global demand for continuous growth of crop products such as microbial, production and/or total plant size must be increased. Across the world, this kind of agricultural expansion can lead to deforestation, thereby releasing heat-ventilated gases and have a negative impact on biodiversity and hydrofiltering. Since 2000, 102 million kilograms of land (which is almost the same as Egyptian area) have been transformed from native plants into farmland (excluding pastures).

The production of HB4 microbials was increased by 20% compared to similar species that were not genetically engineered by drought resistance. Compared with the same type of micromasks without HB4, HB4 micromasks increased by 49% under adverse growth conditions, 12% under moderate growth conditions, and 11% under good growth conditions.

We estimate that drought-tolerant HB4 microbial planting on one-third of Argentina's small wheat planting surfaces can reduce global temperature gas emissions by at least 0.86 million tons per year if the production increases by 13% or more. If the production increases by 20%, it can reach 12,900 tons.

I also found a Reuters article published on March 3, 2023. Brazil approves GMO wheat as food supply fears help convince skeptics (Brazil approved the base change to microphones because the concern about food supply can help convince doubters). I sorted and translated the key points as follows (red):

Brazil has approved the planting and sale of drought-resistant base-tolerant millimeters, which is a major boost to once considered taboo crops, as global food supply is depressed and regional drought weather has strengthened the attractiveness of base-tolerant crops.

This approval makes Brazil the second country to approve HB4 micro-meal planting after Argentina. Other markets have approved their consumption.

Although green lights do not mean that Brazil will soon produce plant-based microbials, this reflects a major change in people's attitudes as climate changes and the Ukrainian wars intensify their concerns about the global food crisis.

Genitational microbial granules have never been used for commercial purposes because consumers are concerned about the allergen or toxicity of major crops used in breads, noodles and cakes around the world.. Biotechnology products of corn and soybeans used in ingredients such as animal feeds, biofuels and cooking oils are common. On the day when

reader Willy left a message (2024-3-22), McGill University Office for Science and Society (OSS) who was fighting for science happened to publish a video about basic modification. The title of this video is The Confused World of the Food Babe, and it is criticizing a network called Food Babe. So, I followed the title of Chaos Wenxi World and translated the title of this video into " Chaos Food and Baby World".

For the basis modification part, Dr. Joe Schwarcz, director of OSS, said: "What makes me angry is that she (Food Babe) lacks scientific knowledge. For example, she doesn't understand what a genetically modified organism is, and believes that genetically modified soybean oil is a "genetically modified organism." This oil may come from genetically modified plants, but it does not contain any traces of modification and cannot be separated from any other soybean oil area. In addition, a large number of studies have proven that genetically modified organisms do not have health problems."

Yes, she (Vincent) lacks scientific knowledge and does not understand what a genetically modified organism is. To her, hosting a program like "Based Mai" is "the blind man leads the way."

As for what reader Willy said, "But I've been allergic for more than 20 years...", I certainly know what he wants to imply, but "basic crops can cause allergies" cannot stand in front of science.

Recent notes: Shortly after the article was published, reader Elliot responded: The popular science education of the basic crop myth is easy to understand and combines education with joy.

“The Unfortunate Truth About GMOs | Geneically Modified Foods "

Note: The professor's previous articles have almost covered the facts described in the video.

Moderator added: This video has just been published (2024-4-7), which is indeed simple to understand and combines education with joy. However, from the content, it should be based on my complete set of basic modification articles (20 articles) 🤣
