China splices and synthensizes Cow and human DNA and makes cow-monkey milk

He said: "The milk tastes stronger than normal milk.

“We aim to commercialize some research in this area in coming three years. For the “human-like milk”, 10 years or maybe more time will be required to finally pour this enhanced milk into the consumer’s cup.”

China is now leading the way in research on genetically modified food and the rules on the technology are more relaxed than those in place in Europe.

The researchers used cloning technology to introduce human genes into the DNA of Holstein dairy cows before the genetically modified embryos were implanted into surrogate cows.

Writing in the scientific peer-reviewed journal Public Library of Science One, the researchers said they were able to create cows that produced milk containing a human protein called lysozyme,

Lysozyme is an antimicrobial protein naturally found in large quantities in human breast milk. It helps to protect infants from bacterial infections during their early days of life.

They created cows that produce another protein from human milk called lactoferrin, which helps to boost the numbers of immune cells in babies. A third human milk protein called alpha-lactalbumin was also produced by the cows.

Saw this on the news this morning.

I can't think of a better way to wash down my pomegranate burger.

What in the world... I guess we're really needing to come up with more renewable resources, eh?

Actually, this is pretty neat.
They're basically making the cows produce protiens in their milk that helps boost immune systems and basically help survival?

This sounds like it would be a virtual godsend to mothers who are unable to breastfeed.

Bahahaha!! All your food belong to us, GM haters!

Why? What benefit does this have to anyone? Were they just REALLY bored or something...

The crazy pomegranate China does to its food, it's always for money. Health benefits are just a fortunate side-effect.
