Several respected scientists have spoken in behalf of genetically modified products during last week’s press conference. Among them mass media spotted the director of Research Institute for Nutrition, the dean of Moscow State University’s biology faculty, the head of virology department of Moscow State University and the director of the Institute of Microbiology and Epidemiology.
      
      Scientists said Russian population was intimidated by tales about transgenic soya beans thus forcing domestic producers to abandon adding soya protein to their products. However, currently we lack serious and reasoned facts about possible adverse effects of transgenic soya. Instead of soya protein food for necessary food quality producers add minced pigskin, synthetic polymers and collagen, only 15-20% of which are assimilated by human organism.
      
      Scientists claim not GMOs are dangerous but incorrect production of said organisms. Thus we need a correct and qualitative control system for food, which appears of shop shelves, and such system exists.
