HOW GENETICALLY MODIFIED TOMATOES ‘CAN HELP BEAT HEART DISEASE’
Genetically modified ones can reduce fatty deposits that clog arteries, according to research.
Scientists have created for the first time genetically engineered tomatoes which produce a potent peptide that mimics the action of good cholesterol when eaten.
Mice fed the freeze-dried, ground tomatoes had less inflammation and reduced atherosclerosis – plaque build-up.
They also had higher levels of an antioxidant related to a lower risk of heart disease and lower levels of a tumour promoter that accelerates plaque build‑up.
Senior study author Dr Alan Fogelman, of the University of California, said: “We have found a new and practical way to make a peptide that acts like the main protein in good cholesterol but is many times more effective and can be delivered by eating the plant.”
The study’s findings were presented to the American Heart Association.
The British Heart Foundation, said: “It’s too soon to draw any firm conclusions.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ethics" is simply a last-gasp attempt by deist conservatives and
orthodox dogmatics to keep humanity in ignorance and obscurantism,
through the well tried fermentation of fear, the fear of science and
new technologies.
There is nothing glorious about what our ancestors call history,
it is simply a succession of mistakes, intolerances and violations.
On the contrary, let us embrace Science and the new technologies
unfettered, for it is these which will liberate mankind from the
myth of god, and free us from our age old fears, from disease,
death and the sweat of labour.
