At present, the genetically modified corn oil and soybean oil we bought in the supermarket are all extracted, but the genetically modified protein and DNA components are not extracted, which has no adverse effects on the human body and can be safely eaten.
"As far as I know, many edible oils in the US market are produced by genetically modified crops." "Genetically modified corn and soybeans are safe because they do not contain genetically modified ingredients such as protein and DNA," Yang said.

Precautions:
The difference between genetically modified soybean and non-genetically modified soybean oil;
1. Different oil production. The oil content of transgenic soybean is higher than that of non-transgenic soybean, and the oil content of pressed soybean is higher than that of non-transgenic soybean.
2. Different tastes. Non-GM soybeans are more delicious than GM soybeans.
Genetically modified soybeans have many health risks:
1. Toxic substances
Some researchers believe that artificially extracting and adding genes may increase and accumulate trace toxins in food and achieve results. Crops may be treated with excessive glyphosate, and glyphosate and soybean oil enter the human body together, which affects human health.
2. Develop drug resistance
When scientists add foreign genes to plants or bacteria, these genes are connected with other genes. After people eat genetically modified food, the food will transfer the drug resistance gene to pathogenic bacteria in the body, making the human body resistant to drugs.
