FDNS 4600 1st Edition Lecture 20Outline of Past Lecture I. Types of GMII. Common TechnologyIII. Benefits to animals that eat GM foodsIV. Benefits of GM FoodsOutline of Current LectureI. FDAII. Scientific research studiesIII. Dr. Malarkey makes 5 points about science and safetyIV. Informing media, consumers, and health professionalsCurrent LectureI. FDAa. Regulate the GM foods as a food additiveb. If the food does not meet the nutritional equivalence, the FDA can remove the food from the market.c. GMOs have been testedII. Scientific research studiesa. There may be some fault in the way the studies are formed.b. How would you design a study to test one type of GM soy?i. What GM soy would you choose? 1. Pesticide resistanceii. Where would you buy it? Straight to the farmer, work with the companyiii. What would be the control food? 1. A type of soy that is not GM. However, the protein stand will be different.iv. How would you ensure the control food was similar to the GM soy?1. Would where and how its grown matter? a. That would make a big difference2. Should you test soy vs soy, or soy vs corn, or ?? a. There are an abundance of differences between the two. c. What is “bioactive” in soy?i. Phytoestrogens? What else? These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.1. Plant estrogen- things are going to change because its an active chemicald. How much would you feed? i. This matters because it might be more than what is actually required. Animals would respond differently than humans. ii. Is a difference always meaningful?e. It can be different but still within normal ranges . . .III. Dr. Malarkey makes 5 points about science and safetya. Inherent toxicity of the novel genei. genes would have to survive digestion which is highly unlikely.b. Intrinsic toxicity of transgene producti. The Bt toxins, which are the most common gene products from current GM foods, is not toxic in mammalian systems (easily digested)ii. And it is allowed to be directly sprayed onto organic crops (an allowableorganic pesticide)c. Allergenicityi. Allergenic foods will not make it through the process.ii. Scientists stay away from genes that make allergenic proteins.iii. GM foods are supposed to be reducing the risk of allergies.d. Change in nutrient compositioni. Tests are easy to run and this is the focus on the nutritional side of food.e. Unintended effectsi. If one gene changes, will it change other genes?ii. Look to ensure safety.IV. Informing media, consumers, and health professionalsa. FDAi. National vs. state labeling standardsii. Big focus on testing for allergens and scientists would avoid introducing genes for allergensb. IFIC- International Food Information Councili. Write scientific issues in relatable terms for health professionals and the mediaii. Physicians Videos1. Video for GM and pregnant women and childrena. The pediatrician says that GM foods are safe and do not harm children.b. Make a priority about what are actually issues- GM foods are not a concern.c. Children’s immune systems are different but the GM foods are considered safe foods.c. Center for Food Safetyi. Activist Groupd. Consumer Reporti. Informing the
