Genetically modified food(GMF) refers to the food using genetic engineering (GM) technology in the species genome to embed in heterologous gene, including transgenic plants, genetically modified animal, and genetically modified microbial food. 1 The background on GMF How does genetically modified food appear? （1）With the reduction of the cultivated area, food shortage problem is becoming more and more serious. （2）modern biotechnology has brought human numerous benefits. Through the application of biotechnology, a broad and significant increase of food production can be happily seen at global agricultural production. 2 Why do we pay close attention to GMF The safety of GMF has been controversial. Some scientists consider that GMF will bring human and animal allergens and toxins of unknown. International consensus has been reached on the principles regarding evaluation of the food safety of GMF. 3 The major arguments surrounding GMF The advantages of GMF (supporters) High nutrition Special immune value Improving taste Improving food quality High nutrition An estimated 30% of the world population are in iron deficiency, through transgenic technology, the content of iron in rice will increase. 3 The major arguments surrounding GMF Special immune value By embedding special anti-cancer gene in plants
