Coloured tomatoes & pineapples
Genetically modified (GM) heart-healthy purple coloured tomatoes and cancer-fighting pink pineapples are awaiting the concerned authorities’ approval for release in the United States. Good innovation indeed. But there are doubts about whether consumption of these genetically engineered vegetables and fruits are beneficial for human health in the first place. More research is needed to determine the real effects of these modified products on humans.
