#Chinese Scientists Modify Cows to Produce Human Breast Milk Isnt it hard for the babies to suck off the cow udders? Chinese scientists have modified genetically dairy cows to produce human breast milk, and hope to be selling it in supermarkets within three years#The milk produced by the transgenic cows is identical to the human variety and has the same immune-boosting and antibacterial qualities as breast milk, scientists at Chinas Agricultural University in Beijing say. The transgenic herd of 300 was bred by inserting human genes into cloned cow embryos which were implanted then into surrogate cows. The milk is still undergoing safety tests but with government permission it will be sold to consumers as a more nutritious dairy drink than cows milk. Workers at the universitys dairy farm have tasted already the milk and say it is sweeter and stronger than the usual bovine variety. Its good,#said worker Jiang Yao. Its better for you because its genetically modified.##Via Arbroath Share Thissubscribedel. icio. usfacebookredditstumbleupontechnorati n
