Thanks to a new type of flour, the fight against obesity could receive a bready boost...I'm really sorry, it's late.
Researchers at the National Institute for Agricultural Botany in Cambridge, UK, have genetically modified forms of wheat, which when digested, relese fewer of their calories; it is also digested more slowly, helping people to feel fuller for longer.
The hope is that this product could eventually be incorporated into a range of staple foods such as pasta, bread, and other flour products, which could be much healthier than their non-GM equivalent.
