The news had an article about the new purple tomatoes that they are showing off, supposedly packed with far more anthocyanins (antioxidants) than normal tomatoes. They raised the dreaded spectre of genetic modification saying it could be harmful etc.,
Great news if you want to help with fighting cancer, higher levels of antioxidants have been proven to make mice live longer.
What drives me crazy about putting these anti-GM people on the news is that they don’t know half of the vegetables we eat are modified and bred over countless centuries, but I guess that doesn’t matter to them.
Carrots weren’t always orange for example – before 1700 they were purple. Wheat has been selectively bread for centuries to produce higher yields. Parsnips weren’t always as big as they currently are.
Well I thought it was too, but half the shit these doctors come out with is crazy talk anyway.
I don't believe that smoke a day one bit. That's just crazy talk.
