Marshall, Aspartame is a GE food, produced using E. coli. This was published in a London newspaper on the same day there was a Royal Family crisis and the info was lost in the mist...
There have been so many 'accidents' with GE contamination that I am most suspicious of the addition of beta-carotene or claims about ending world hunger. Money on this research would be better spent transferring a safe surplus food [non GE] that is of the same kind and type of the normal nutrition of a starving nation. Look for removal of the cause before introducing a new problem-cure! There are three European countries that produce more animal fertilizer than their country's land can absorb or use - export this instead (plus minerals)! Holland was one of those three countries. Therein lies the problem - a lack of natural fertilizer and soil minerals. [Mind you, the fertilizer would probably be full of chemicals, but GE is not chemical free either.] Judith. > > I saw a television commercial recently from the "Biotechnology Commission" or > > something similar promoting "Golden Rice," which is a GE modified rice now > > containing beta-carotene that will "End World Hunger."
