* Full of calcium

hi friends..
I read about this new carrot in an article.

Scientists in US say they have created a genetically-engineered carrot that provides extra calcium. They hope that adding vegetable to a normal diet could help ward off conditions such as brittle bone dissease and osteoprosis. Someone eating the new carrot absorbs 41 percent more calcium than if they ate the old, the proceedings of the National Academy of Science study suggests. The calcium charged vegetable still needs to go through many safety trials. " These carrots were grown in carefully monitored and controlled enviroinments,",said Professor Kendal Hirschi of Babylor College of Medicine, Texas.
