Recently, one of the most current topics is that of genetically modified foods. Food control specialists, nutritionists and chefs selflessly complained about the low-quality products that flood the market and the production of genetically modified ones.
There is a lot of evidence for the harm of poor quality food and inorganic production. However, it turns out that genetic modification of certain foods is a powerful weapon in the fight of humanity against various diseases.
Proof of this was given by Japanese geneticists who have created a genetically modified variety of rice that is extremely effective in treating diabetes. Specialists from the Japanese National Institute of Agrobiology offer a product that stimulates the synthesis of insulin in the pancreas, thus lowering blood sugar levels.
Scientists predict that the new revolutionary type of rice will completely replace drug therapy in people with type II diabetes. But that's not all Asian experts are limited to. Soon they will offer another type of rice created in the same institute, which in time will find application in patients with allergies and hay fever.
However, the debate over whether transgenic products are useful or not continues. If genetically modified rice can be reduced to a useful product, this should in practice be the case for other foodstuffs. Rice is a hypoallergenic product that does not contain gluten (vegetable protein) and is easily processed by the human digestive system in the form of porridge.
This makes it an invaluable food not only for adults but also for newborns. It is rich in complex carbohydrates, which are the body's main energy source. It has a high content of cellulose, which favors the prevention of stagnant processes in the intestine, leading to constipation, diverticulosis and cancer.

A new study of meat products offered on the Bulgarian market showed that one of the until recently considered traditional domestic products has nothing to do with its original recipe. This is beef sausage, in the production of which the producers not only do not use cow meat, but do not even use meat at all.
Genetically Modified Lecithin Is A Hidden Poison
Soy lyceum is one of the most common substances in chocolate products. More specifically, it is about genetically modified soy lecithin. Lecithin is extracted from soybeans and is labeled E322 when used in foods as an emulsifier. It is a complex organic compound belonging to the group of phospholipids.
Bulgur, Quinoa And Rice For Diabetes
Bulgur, quinoa and brown rice foods protect against chronic diseases such as diabetes, overweight and cancer. They contain phytochemicals, phytoestrogens and saponins, which in turn prevent the destruction of cells, and the fiber in them helps maintain a healthy weight.
Japan Has Adopted Genetically Modified Foods
Japan gives the green light to genetically modified foods to be offered to consumers in the Land of the Rising Sun. There is only one requirement, and that is the editing technique to meet the criteria set by the government. This proposal is pending approval.
Is Genetically Modified Salmon Safe?
We've heard about genetically modified foods, but what and how much do we really know about them. Take salmon as an example. In order to reach the weight suitable for being exposed to the fish market faster, the scientists changed the genes of the salmon by adding those of the eel.
