Types of 'superfoods' for future people

Anti-allergy apples, vaccine potatoes, 'super sweet' junk food but good for health . are foods with delicious and nutritious flavor.

For a long time, people have used science as a tool to impact quality and quantity when producing food. Today, science is even more applied, by the methods of genetic modification, cross-pollination . have 'designed' a variety of foods with extremely different qualities and flavors.

But not only that, scientists are aiming for a new food industry in the future, creating animals with high growth rates, providing meat in a short time. In particular, food not only tastes better but also nutritious, more special, they can also be used instead of vaccines .

1. Special potatoes help you not to get vaccinated

Biologist Charles Arntzen of Arizona State University's Biomedical Research Institute is working to create fruits and vegetables that can replace injections, provide vaccines for common diseases like hepatitis B, cholera. . for children.

Arntzen has developed a number of experiments in tobacco and potatoes that stimulate the immune system of the eaters and have yielded some positive results.

However, Arntzen also said that only a few test subjects can immunize exactly the desired disease but at the same time consume a large amount of live potatoes.

Probably for the average person, eating potatoes is not good, but Arntzen said, if potatoes are cooked, proteins that stimulate the immune system will be broken and become useless.

But anyway, with the positive results, if later Arntzen could create the plant germ to produce the vaccine, the fruit can replace the vaccine, the seeds can be exported to the world, bringing a big turning point for human medicine and pharmacy.

2. Apples have the ability to help people without allergies

Apples are a nutritious and often hypoallergenic fruit. However, hearing that more than 75% of people allergic to pollen are allergic to apples. People who are sensitive to fruits when eating apples may also have tongue irritation, blistering, and itching, some may have edema, resulting in suffocation.

In 2010, scientists from the ITSAFRUIT group in Europe conducted a study to produce an allergy-resistant apple by removing the genes that cause itching in the plant.

With the introduction of allergy-resistant apples, scientists have taken the first steps and are confident to study fruits and foods that are easy to irritate.

However, there is a fact that consumers often do not accept genetically modified foods, whether it is useful or not. In addition, because apples have to wait about 5 years to flower, it takes a few more years for this fruit to be popular.

3. Delicious hybrid fruits

There have been many types of fruits created by crossing two different types. The result of this hybrid gives a new fruit bearing fruit characteristics that have two types of ingredients such as apple-grape, tomato-lemon, lemon-kumquat, pear-apple .

In particular, we also have plum-apricots, however, to create a perfect plum-like hybrid is quite complex, sometimes requiring decades of breeding.

Apricot fruit (Aprium)

The reason is that when two species of apricot and plum are crossed, the apricot (Aprium) and plum-apricot (Pluot) will be produced. Each type needs a perfect breeding rate, 3 plum-1 apricots in apricot, and the apricot-plum is the opposite.

Plum-apricot has the appearance of plum, but the color is speckled with yellow and white, much sweeter than regular plum. Apricots are also sweet, but often sour more.

Plum-apricot fruit (Pluot)

Floyd Zaiger - who has patented more than 200 new fruits by the hybrid method, said new species have increased survival when habitat changes compared to the old species. Floyd Zaiger said: 'Habitat, climate conditions are changing due to global warming so species must learn to adapt to them.'

4. 'Super sweet' snacks but not fat and good for health

This type of food is reserved for 'sweet and sweet' believers. The farmers at Grapery, the US, need 12 years of hard work pollinating their hands to create a grape with a much higher sugar content than regular grapes.

The aim of the researcher is to create a new generation of snacks to replace other common snacks such as chocolate cakes, marshmallow, cotton candy .

Through many studies, scientists have proved that sugar is not a cause of obesity but due to excessive diet, especially junk food.

So in the future, instead of eating sweet foods but bad for health, people will have more options such as cotton candy, lollipops, or marshmallows, made with this super sweet grape sugar. But anyway, scientists also recommend that eating too much sugar is not good for health.

5. Genetically modified salmon helps fish not become extinct

Not only fruits and vegetables, a genetically modified salmon has been created by biologists from AquaBount, Massachusetts.

They transplanted the Pacific salmon gene into Atlantic salmon, producing a new 'Frankenfish' variety called AquaAdvantage . This new breed for rapid growth, and at the same time, an eel gene is added to make the fish grow year-round. From here, people can eat salmon with delight without worrying about being extinct.

However, genetically modified animals always have a lot of fears, but health experts say it is very safe. This special salmon awaits approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
