    Is golden rice more healthy than white rice?

    Question #111911. Asked by author. (Jan 04 10 10:54 PM)

    		Golden Rice is a genetically engineered variety of rice developed by Ingo Potrykus. It was developed to produce beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A in the edible part of the rice grain.

    Though the rice has not been cleared for human consumption it is believed that it would be able to prevent a million deaths a year if used in areas where vitamin a deficiency is prevalent.
