Genetically-Modified Rice 2009

The first generation of genetically modified crops was designed to help keep crops and insect free the next generation of genetically modified crops would be the transgenic crops it is now being developed to directly benefit human health. This would include vegetables and grains to produce higher levels of nutrients and it would be in minerals, medicines, and even vaccines. However like the first one the created researchers are trying to determine where the foods produced from this will be safe of humans and the environment.======

The scientists who is trying to develop this describe how they first tried it in rice. They say it is genetically engineered to fight allergies to Japanese cedar pollen (that's in the growing public health problem in Japan that affects 20% of the population). In there studies the researchers fed a steamed version of the rice to a group of monkeys everyday for 26 weeks. At the end of the study period the monkeys did not show any health problems.======
