Every year 1 million to 2 million children die because their diet lacks enough of a single nutrient, vitamin A. Many of these children eat a diet based on rice. If researchers figured out a way to manipulate the genes of rice so that it naturally produced more vitamin A, many of these children would live. In fact, a researcher based in Switzerland, with financial support from the Rockefeller Foundation, has developed such a rice. But it remains locked in a refrigerator, trapped by regulatory hurdles, patent disputes and fear-mongering politics that try to portray every genetic alteration as a "Frankenfood."..... biotech-info.net * * *
