同行审查刊物《农业科学》2015年7月14日发表的一项新的研究揭示转基因大豆干扰作物控制压力的自然能力,发现公认致癌物甲醛在转基因大豆中积蓄,同时发现细胞解毒所必需的抗氧化剂谷胱甘肽在转基因大豆中耗竭。该项研究由麻省理工学院培养的系统生物学家V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai博士领衔。美国环保署前高级科学家Ray Seidler博士强调:“甲醛是公认的一级致癌物。普遍的转基因大豆品种存在着水平升高的甲醛令人警觉,值得FDA和奥巴马政府关注和立即采取行动。大豆在美国广泛种植与食用,包括婴儿配方食品,而94%的大豆已经转基因”。该项研究结论:美国政府目前基于“实质等同”原则的转基因生物安全性评估标准,已经过时与不科学,使食品药物管理署对转基因食品安全性标准陷入问题。这篇论文的发表,与奥巴马政府2015年7月2日呼吁“改善生物技术的透明性并保证持续安全性”文告发布的时间巧合。
Systems Biology Group, International Center for Integrative Systems: GMO Soy Accumulates Formaldehyde & Disrupts Plant Metabolism, Suggests Peer-Reviewed Study, Calling For 21st Century Safety Standards

-- Study Concludes FDA GMO Approval Process is Flawed, Outdated, and Unscientific
-- 研究结论美国食品药物管理署对转基因生物的批准过程有缺陷、过时与不科学
WASHINGTON, July 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study published today in the peer-reviewed journal AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES reveals genetic engineering of soy disrupts the plant""""s natural ability to control stress, and invalidates the FDA""""s current regulatory framework of "substantial equivalence" used for approval of genetically engineered food (GMOs).
【2015年7月14日《美通社》华盛顿消息】--同行审查刊物《农业科学》今天发表的一项新的研究揭示,转基因大豆干扰作物控制压力的自然能力,使美国食品药物管理署(FDA)目前基于“实质等同”批准转基因生物的监管框架失效。
The study, led by Dr. V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai, Ph.D., an MIT-trained systems biologist, utilizes his latest invention, CytoSolve, a 21 century systems biology method to integrate 6,497 in vitro and in vivo laboratory experiments, from 184 scientific institutions, across 23 countries, to discover the accumulation of formaldehyde, a known carcinogen, and a dramatic depletion of glutathione, an anti-oxidant necessary for cellular detoxification, in GMO soy, indicating that formaldehyde and glutathione are likely critical criteria for distinguishing the GMO from its non-GMO counterpart.
该项研究,由麻省理工学院培养的系统生物学家V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai博士领衔,采用了23个国家184个科学机构采用的他最新的发明CytoSolve,一种21世纪的系统生物学方法,在体内与试管实验室实验集成6,497,发现公认致癌物甲醛在转基因大豆中积蓄,同时发现细胞解毒所必需的抗氧化剂谷胱甘肽在转基因大豆中耗竭,表明甲醛与谷胱甘肽是区分转基因大豆与对应非转基因大豆的关键性标准。
Dr. Ayyadurai stated, "The results demand immediate testing along with rigorous scientific standards to assure such testing is objective and replicable. It""""s unbelievable such standards for testing do not already exist. The safety of our food supply demands that science deliver such modern scientific standards for approval of GMOs."
Ayyadurai强调:“该项研究的结果要求依据严格科学标准立即测试,以确保这样的测试是客观和可复制的。难以置信这样的测试标准目前不存在。我们的食品供应的安全性要求对批准转基因生物提供这样的科学性标准。”
"The discovery reported by Dr. Ayyadurai reveals a new molecular paradigm associated with genetic engineering that will require research to discover why, and how much formaldehyde and glutathione concentration, and what other cellular chemicals relevant to human and animal health, are altered. We need the kinds of standards Dr. Ayyadurai demands to conduct such research," stated Dr. Ray Seidler, a former EPA Senior Scientist.
“Ayyadurai博士报告的发现揭示与转基因关联的新的分子范例,要求研究来发现转基因作物中甲醛与谷胱甘肽为什么发生变化,变化量为多少?还有,与人类与动物健康相关的哪些其他分子化学品被改变。我们需要Ayyadurai博士要求类型的标准来进行这样的研究”美国环保署前高级科学家Ray Seidler博士强调。
"Formaldehyde is a known class 1 carcinogen. Its elevated presence in soybeans caused by a common genetic engineering event is alarming and deserves immediate attention and action from the FDA and the Obama administration. Soy is widely grown and consumed in the U.S., including by infants fed baby food products, with 94% of soy grown here being genetically engineered," declared Seidler.
“甲醛是公认的一级致癌物。普遍的转基因大豆品种存在着水平升高的甲醛令人警觉,值得FDA和奥巴马政府关注和立即采取行动。大豆在美国广泛种植与食用,包括婴儿配方食品,而94%的大豆已经转基因”, Seidler博士指出。
The study concludes the U.S. government""""s current standards for safety assessment of GMOs, based on the principle of "substantial equivalence," is outdated and unscientific for genetically engineered food since it was originally developed for assessing the safety of medical devices in the 1970s.
该项研究结论:美国政府目前基于“实质等同”原则的转基因生物安全性评估标准,已经过时与不科学,因为它是在70年代对医学装置安全性评估基础上发展的。
The current criteria for assessing "equivalence" considers only basic nutritional and superficial characteristics such as taste, sight, smell and touch, for declaring GMOs safe for human consumption, allowing them to be fast-tracked to market without independent scientific testing. If formaldehyde and glutathione were criteria, then the GMO would likely not be deemed "equivalent" to its non-GMO counterpart.
评估“等同”的目前标准仅仅考虑了基本的营养性与表面特征,如味道、形态、味道与触觉,来宣称转基因生物对人类食用安全,允许转基因食物在毫无独立科学性测试条件下快车道上市。如果甲醛与谷胱甘肽也成为标准,就不大可能认为转基因生物“等同”于其对应非转基因品种。
This finding calls into question the FDA""""s food safety standards for the entire country.
这些发现使食品药物管理署对美国全国的食品安全性标准陷入问题。
The publication of the paper coincides with release of a bulletin by the Obama Administration on July 2, 2015, calling for "Improving Transparency and Ensuring Continued Safety in Biotechnology."
这篇论文的发表,与奥巴马政府2015年7月2日呼吁“改善生物技术的透明性并保证持续安全性”文告发布的时间巧合。
Ayyadurai shares, "This is not a pro- or anti-GMO question. But, are we following the scientific method to ensure the safety of our food supply? Right now, the answer is """"no"""". We need to, and we can, if we engage in open, transparent, and collaborative scientific discourse, based on a systems biology approach."
Ayyadurai博士强调,“这不是一个支持或者反转基因的问题。但是,我们是否遵循科学性的方法确保我们食品供应的安全性?现在,对此的回答是“不”。我们需要,而且我们可以确保我们食品供应的安全性,如果我们坚持基于系统生物学方法的公开、透明与协作性科学方式的话。”
