However, today some of the genetic modifications to food are on a more advanced level, such as
creating golden rice that provides extra vitamin A to combat blindness and death in malnourished
children, or breeding a new type of sweet potato that has extra beta-carotenes (which the body converts
to vitamin A). A new kind of tomato was bred to resist rotting and give it a longer shelf life. Potatoes are
bred to produce more starch. Soybeans, one of the most common processed-food ingredients, are also
one of the most heavily modified food products: Soybeans have been genetically modified to resist
disease and pests, or to produce more protein, vitamins, and fat.
