RE: Genetics and your Sense of Taste

in #science7 years ago

Thanks for writing it so understandable and still precise!
I wander if we can genetically engineer some really unhealthy food to produce and contain one of those substance - let's say glucosinolates, making us/the tasters hate it

Sort:  

Probably but why should anyone do this? The process is costly and only means a loss of profit. There's no real upside, especially because the original plants would still exist.

Oh, I didn't think of the big picture... just as fun experiment.
