It is interesting that Golden Rice is genetically modified rice which produce beta carotene. Vitamin A deficit is responsible for deaths of 670 000 children under five years annually. Beta carotene from the Golden Rice is converted into vitamin A in the human body.
Rice is staple food in lot of part of Asia, but Golden Rice still is not accepted.
