“(NaturalNews) Golden rice is falsely touted by GMO advocates as a miracle cure for blindness and death — usually with a “leap to faith” attitude that disallows any thought of skepticism or requirement of scientific proof. GMO fantasy land adherents claim that golden rice is genetically engineered to produce higher levels of beta carotene which the body converts to vitamin A, preventing blindness and death, they say. These claims, however, have no basis in fact. “Golden Rice” is a biotech Fairy Tale introduced for public relations purposes and utterly lacking in any scientific proof for its claimed “benefits” to anyone.”
