Genetically modified soya bean can cut heart attack risk

"A genetically modified soya bean, which can help to prevent heart attacks, has passed the first phase of trials in the United States. Researchers at the University of South Dakota say that the promising results of the experiments have cleared the way for its use in foods such as spreads, yoghurts, cereal bars, and salad dressings. The researchers said that their study had shown that oil from the GM soya could raise blood concentrations of long-chain omega3 acids, which are found chiefly in oily fish such as salmon, trout and fresh tuna" - New Kerala
