recently scientists created a new GMO, consisting of scorpion poison and cabbage.
In order to achieve the product they “take the gene that programs poison in scorpions and looked for ways to combine it with cabbage."
In order to be able to use fewer pesticides, while still preventing caterpillars from damaging the crops.
After genetically modifying...
When the pests/insects bite on to the cabbage the poison is produced. This poison will ultimately kill the insect, and not affect humans.
This study has been going on as far as 10 years ago.
The researchers are currently still researching; however the idea has greatly evolved.
For instance, experiments started with spraying the pesticide consisting of scorpion venom onto the cabbage. Needless to say, the method of today; inserting the scorpion venom gene into the cabbage, is more efficient and safer.
This product is a product of the United States, with many researchers involved. However like many new studies, it is discussed worldwide. This is particularly done in California, Georgia, Texas, and New York, where GMO companies are.
Some people are saying that because we do not know the actual effect on normal human cells that it is risky and not safe.
We do not know the actual effects that will occur because the venomous cabbage was tested on MCF-7 breast cancer cells.
