There is a great opportunity for the Chinese government to lead nations to greater health and prosperity.
中國政府面臨引領諸國邁向更加健康與繁榮的未來的良機。
A group of genetic researchers, university professors, medical doctors,
來到中國,參加7月25日至26日於北京舉辦的食品安全與可持續農業大會的我們,職業身份各異,基因學家、大學教授、職業醫師、獸醫、畜牧人、農民、農業顧問、食品安全活動家、孩子母親,不一而足;國別紛繁,除中國外,有美國、俄羅斯、英國、法國、德國、澳大利亞、紐西蘭、阿根廷、巴西和秘魯。此行的目的是就草甘膦/農達殘留物,轉基因生物,以及正己烷殘留(「化學浸出」食用油溶劑殘留物)對環境、生態、生物多樣性、動物及人類健康和安全造成的一系列嚴重危害,與中國同行分享經驗,訴說擔憂。
We express thanks to our Chinese hosts who invited us and enabled us to visit beautiful and impressive Beijing, and to the Chinese people who extended their warm welcome wherever we visited.
我們對邀請我們來到北京這座傲人麗都的中國東道主與我們所到之處熱情歡迎我們的中國人民表示感謝。
We take this opportunity to convey a series of suggestions to the Chinese people and the Chinese government:
藉此機會,向中國人民及政府傳達一些想法與建議:
The damage caused by toxins in foods is creating a significant global problem of epic proportions. In particular, genetically-modified (GM) corn and soy crops designed to tolerate glyphosate are laden with this powerful chemical toxin.
食品中的毒素所造成的危害正在成為一個全球性的問題,其波及範圍之廣、影響之深遠舉世罕見。其中抗草甘膦轉基因玉米及轉基因大豆作物滿載這種強力化學毒素狀況尤為嚴峻。
There are striking correlations between the steady rise in the amount of glyphosate used on corn and soy crops in the US over the past fifteen years and the corresponding rise in the rates of autism, Parkinson's disease, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, kidney failure, intestinal diseases, autoimmune diseases, infertility, birth defects and cancer.
過去十五年來,美國的玉米及大豆作物中穩定增長的草甘膦使用量與自閉症、帕金森綜合症、痴呆、阿爾茨海默氏病、糖尿病、腎衰竭、腸道疾病、自體免疫疾病、不孕不育、先天性缺陷及癌症患病機率的相應上升之間,存在著驚人的聯繫。
As these GM foods are now being distributed from the Americas to all parts of the world, we are likewise facing a rise in these debilitating conditions worldwide.
上述轉基因食品經由美洲大陸散布到世界各地,同時我們也看到這些殘害人們健康的形勢正在全球蔓延。
This might well explain the rise in Parkinson’s disease, dementia, autism and infertility in China in recent years, in step with the increased imports of GM corn and soy products contaminated with glyphosate.
這可能很好地解釋了為什麼近年來隨著轉基因玉米及大豆作物進口量的增加,中國的帕金森綜合症、痴呆、自閉症及不孕不育的患病率也有所攀升。草甘膦已知的生物效應與上述病狀是一致的。
While the agrochemical companies have stated that glyphosate is low in toxicity, many recent studies have shown that this is not true for glyphosate-based herbicides, such as Roundup,
雖然農業化學公司向我們保證草甘膦的毒性很低,但是最近一系列研究表明農達等草甘膦為基礎的除草劑如並非如此,表明它們添加的輔佐劑是致人類細胞毒性的活性物質。一項長期老鼠餵養研究表明,草甘膦除草劑農達在非常低劑量下(0.1ppb=0.0001ppm) 引起嚴重肝腎功能不足和例如乳腺腫瘤這樣的性別依賴激素性影響。長期慢性餵養含抗草甘膦轉基因作物(玉米)均衡飲食中獲得了可比較的結果。這是草甘膦除草劑農達殘留的結果和這種特定轉基因作物(抗草甘膦轉基因玉米NK603)的結果。草甘膦除草劑農達配方製劑與抗草甘膦轉基因作物應當被認為是內分泌幹擾劑,至今嚴重缺乏對它們對於健康影響的評估。
Glyphosate residue has been detected in human bodies, urine, blood, and breast milk in the USA and Europe.
在美國和歐洲,人體、尿液及血液與母乳中均檢測出草甘膦殘留。
A key issue is the introduction of GM 「Roundup Ready」 crops that are tolerant to glyphosate and the subsequentdevelopment of glyphosate-resistant weeds -- an escalating disaster that cannot be solved.
關鍵問題正是引進了轉基因抗農達作物,這些抗草甘膦作物促進了抗草甘膦雜草的生長——這是一場持續升級、無法獲勝之戰。
We have unfortunately learned that China is the largest producer of glyphosate, and the largest exporter of glyphosate in the world, including the supply of glyphosate to Monsanto, who formulate it into Roundup and distribute it all over the world, including to China.
我們遺憾知道中國是世界上草甘膦最大生產國和出口國,包括向孟山都供應草甘膦。孟山都將草甘膦配製農達配方,分銷到世界各地,包括中國。
Roundup now accounts for about 80% or more of the Chinese herbicide market.
我們還了解到,孟山都農達在中國除草劑市場的佔有率達80%左右。
Non-GM soybeans, corn, wheat, barley etc. normally should not contain any glyphosate residues. However, the spraying of glyphosate as a desiccant ("uniform ripening agent") before harvesting is being promoted in China to result in these non-GM food grains to now also contain "hidden" glyphosate residues, as consumers do not know that these non-GM food grains are also being sprayed with glyphosate.
一般而言,非轉基因大豆、玉米、小麥、大麥等作物不應含有任何草甘膦殘留。然而我們得知,將草甘膦作為乾燥劑(「均勻成熟劑」)進行噴灑已在中國得到推廣,這一行為危害巨大,導致這些非轉基因穀物中也含「隱蔽」的草甘膦殘留,因為消費者不知道這些非轉基因穀物也在噴灑草甘膦。
The top three ingredients in most infant formula are corn syrup, soy oil and soy protein solids.
大多數嬰幼兒配方奶粉中添加的含量最高三大成分是玉米糖漿、大豆油和大豆蛋白粉。因而,某嬰幼兒配方奶粉中檢測出170 ppb的草甘膦便不足為奇。此外,大豆油提取過程中使用了正己烷溶劑——一種已知的神經毒素。大豆油及大豆蛋白粉中均含草甘膦及正己烷殘留;二者皆為內分泌擾亂劑。
Most corn is a stacked-trait containing both Bt toxins and glyphosate residues.
玉米幾乎都是既抗蟲又耐受除草劑的,既含Bt毒素,又有草甘膦殘留。加拿大的孕婦血液中檢測出Bt毒素,而美國的母乳中檢測出草甘膦殘留。
Given wholesome, nutritious food and clean water, our bodies stay healthy.
供應健康有營養的食品才能保證健康的身體。相反,若食品含有多種化學毒素,我們的身體將不堪承受。老人與兒童尤其脆弱。
From a planetary perspective, we are on the brink of destruction if these disastrous trends are not stopped in the near future.
從地球的角度來看,這些災難性趨勢在不久未來如果不能被停止的話我們將瀕臨毀滅。哪些作物能夠生長於荒蕪之地?哪些作物能離開授粉的蜂蝶而自行繁衍?
History has shown that, when confronted with an emergency (e.g., SARS), the Chinese government can be proactive and decisive in solving the problem. The current situation with glyphosate is an emergency.
歷史已證明,面對突發狀況(如SARS),中國政府總能夠積極、果斷地解決所有問題。目前,草甘膦造成的問題已經成為這樣亟待解決的緊急狀況。
China can and should play a leadership role in banning the use of glyphosate on food crops and the use of hexane in food processing.
中國能夠也應該為世界樹立榜樣,引領立法禁止對糧食作物使用草甘膦,同時禁止在食品加工過程中使用正己烷。
A moratorium on glyphosate and hexane will protect China’s children and elderly from costly and debilitating diseases.
對草甘膦和正己烷的禁令將保護中國的兒童與老人免遭病痛殘害與昂貴負擔。
Simultaneously, the Chinese government should direct substantial research funds towards finding safe, efficient and cost-effective approaches to sustainable farming and chemical-free food processing to preserve soil quality and food safety. At this critical juncture in human history, China has a golden opportunity to inspire other countries to follow their lead and allow the earth and humanity to finally begin to heal.
與此同時,中國政府應大力投入科研資金,尋求實現可持續農業和無公害食品加工的安全、高效、經濟的做法,以保護土壤質量和食品安全。在這一歷史性的時刻,中國應抓住這一千載難逢的良機,以身作則,激勵各國積極行動,幫助地球及人類治癒自身的痼疾。
Accordingly, we propose the following concrete suggestions to the Chinese government:
