Beyond cancer, a tomato-rich diet has been linked to a reduction in the risk of heart disease. Several studies have found a link between lycopene consumption and a reduced risk of coronary heart ...
In the UK, Zeneca produced a tomato paste that used technology similar to the Flavr Savr. [19] Don Grierson was involved in the research to make the genetically modified tomato. [20] Due to the characteristics of the tomato, it was cheaper to produce than conventional tomato paste, resulting in the product being 20% cheaper.
Smoking is linked to multiple types of cancer as well as cardiovascular disease risks, Vilar-Sanchez notes. And there are evidence-based techniques and tools you can use to quit.
In 1986 the OSTP assigned regulatory approval of genetically modified plants in the US to the USDA, FDA and EPA. [10] The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety was adopted on 29 January 2000 and entered into force on 11 September 2003. [11] It is an international treaty that governs the transfer, handling, and use of genetically modified (GM) organisms.
Anti-GMO activists have characterized GMO Answers as a public relations ploy by the seed biotech industry to influence an intensifying debate concerning the safety of GMOs and GMO labeling.
