Biotechnology Helps Create a Healthier French Fry

Datum: 24.4.2008 

Genetically enhanced potatoes absorb less oil when cooking.

Fueled by increased health concerns, consumers are passing on the once-ubiquitous side order of french fries in record numbers. Meanwhile, fast-food restaurants — the biggest purveyors of french fry fare — are looking for more healthy alternatives for their customers.
