The Super Carrot
When your parents told you that eating your vegetables were important, they were right. Scientists in Texas have found a new way to help people absorb calcium. This new method could be especially helpful for people who are unable to consume dairy products.
If you need some extra calcium in your diet, a new genetically-engineered carrot could be exactly what you’re looking for.Researchers in Texas say they’ve developed a so-called ’super’ carrot that helps people absorb more calcium. They hope by adding the vegetable to a normal diet, it could help ward off conditions such as brittle bone disease and osteoporosis. (Link)
Genetically engineered food is nothing new to the produce world. A lot of the produce that we consume is already genetically engineered. Now, eating carrots could increase the amount of calcium that is absorbed. This advancement shows the benefits of genetically engineered foods.
However, the ‘when and if’ of the availability of the carrots is currently unknown. Perhaps these carrots will become to new norm.
