- Mature fast(produce larger profits for commercial farmers)
Jon Entine Said It
Jon Entine stated in his article ,The debate about GMO safety is over,thanks to a new trillion meal study, that,"...there have been over 2,000 studies showing that biotechnology does not pose an unnatural threat to human health and genetically modified foods are as safe a or safer than conventional or organic foods."
GMO Rice Modified To Produce Human Blood Protein
Brown rice seeds can produce cost-effective and easily stored supply of human serum albumin(HSA). HSA is in short supply around the world,but not in China. HSA is a big part of treating many types of maladies. (eg. severe burns,liver cirrhosis,& hemorrhagic shock)
