Allergy free peanuts... Hmm... I could benefit from those slightly, i have a minor peanut allergy that comes and goes for some reason.

What do you think about this? Is it possible?

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

Of course it's possible. If there's a single component of a peanut that makes people allergic, they could take it out. if that component makes it no longer worth it, we can just make peanut substitutes. one way or another, allergic people will be eating peanuts someday.

Genetic engineering ftw.

I am allergic to peanuts and other nuts. So if this works I would be overjoyed.

lol i love how we use great science for small things, which ultimately make a big impact. i havent read the article, but i will when im not so tired, but if it is based around genetic engineering i just love how we can manipulate genes in such an advanced way that we can now apply this great technology to more simple parts of life. i cant wait to see what comes up next.

anti fish allergies I hope

Actually, of all foods, milk is the food more people are allergic to than anything else. And don't forget lactose intolerance.

If I have a single fraction of a peanut or any nut I will die of suffocation if I dont get an epi pen in me. And nuts are in EVERYTHING!!! I would benefit greatly from allergy free nuts. I would still avoid them. Paranoia has served me well in the past and I aint stopping for anything.

if my tongue touches a small fragment of a peanut it swalls up....

I think they should make a stronger x-ma cream.

i can't wear anything whats not cotten....(has to be nice and soft cotten not ruth)

or some medicine for it...

I just eat a soy kitten alternative. I take no risks with that allergy free crap.

They've made something called "golden rice", which is supposed to be like normal rice, except it is so crammed full of vitamins people in 3rd world countries will never have to worry about malnutrition again!

The only problem is that the US says "it is unsafe" even though it's just rice, and it could save thousands of lives a year.

Although... we don't exactly need more people due to overpopulation stuff...

i personally am pro GM food, pro stem cell research and pro genetic engineering so i dont care what the US government says. i think this is fantastic stuff and they can go eat sand instead.

Lol...

Eating peanuts for me is just annoying, im not sure how it really hurts me. My eyes just get 50X larger. So i look like a simpson character with bulgy eyes....

Although i know it could actually hurt me, and i shouldnt just think it doesnt because it doesnt at first, and blah blah blah...
