轉(zhuǎn)基因作物是否安全,，公眾和科學(xué)界的觀點(diǎn)存在巨大差異,。代表公眾的環(huán)保組織甚至將轉(zhuǎn)基因和污染等同起來。法國的一項(xiàng)最新研究顯示,，轉(zhuǎn)基因作物不太可能對健康構(gòu)成威脅,。
研究人員檢查了24項(xiàng)長期和持續(xù)數(shù)代的抗蟲和耐除草劑轉(zhuǎn)基因作物研究，認(rèn)為目前的證據(jù)顯示,，轉(zhuǎn)基因作物的營養(yǎng)相當(dāng)于同類的非轉(zhuǎn)基因作物,，可以安全地用于食品和飼料。
由于轉(zhuǎn)基因是一種過程而不是一種產(chǎn)品,，因此每一種轉(zhuǎn)基因作物都必須單獨(dú)的進(jìn)行評估,。這項(xiàng)研究可能有助于緩解對轉(zhuǎn)基因食品的恐懼,。（生物谷Bioon.com）

Assessment of the health impact of GM plant diets in long-term and multigenerational animal feeding trials: A literature reviewSnell Chelsea, Bernheim Aude, Bergé Jean-Baptiste, Kuntz Marce, Pascal Gérard, Paris Alain, Agnès E. RicrocThe aim of this systematic review was to collect data concerning the effects of diets containing GM maize, potato, soybean, rice, or triticale on animal health. We examined 12 long-term studies (of more than 90 days, up to 2 years in duration) and 12 multigenerational studies (from 2 to 5 generations). We referenced the 90-day studies on GM feed for which long-term or multigenerational study data were available. Many parameters have been examined using biochemical analyses, histological examination of specific organs, hematology and the detection of transgenic DNA. The statistical findings and methods have been considered from each study. Results from all the 24 studies do not suggest any health hazards and, in general, there were no statistically significant differences within parameters observed. However, some small differences were observed, though these fell within the normal variation range of the considered parameter and thus had no biological or toxicological significance. If required, a 90-day feeding study performed in rodents, according to the OECD Test Guideline, is generally considered sufficient in order to evaluate the health effects of GM feed. The studies reviewed present evidence to show that GM plants are nutritionally equivalent to their non-GM counterparts and can be safely used in food and feed.
