Biotech Soybeans Good Source of Omega-3

Oil from genetically modified soybeans boosts levels of an important omega-3 fatty acid in the body, which may decrease the risk of heart attacks, U.S. researchers say.

They created soybeans that produce oils rich in stearidonic acid (SDA), which is converted by the body into an omega-3 fatty acid called eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).

"We know that giving pure EPA to people reduces their risk for heart disease. Presumably, if you gave this special soybean oil to people, you'd do the same thing - reduce heart attacks," study author William Harris, a professor of medicine at Sanford School of Medicine at the University of South Dakota and chief of cardiovascular health research at Sanford Research/USD, said in a news release.
