E 'was "created" the purple tomato, genetically engineered and enhanced with flavonoids in they belong to the anthocyanins having an established anti-cancer power.
was successfully transferred into tomato substances normally found in other foods that are good for human beings!
question has been raised, however:

2) why use a lot of resources, economic and human, and then get a tomato sauce enriched with substances that are already present in other foods? Anthocyanins are abundantly present in eggplant, nell'arancia, black grapes, the berries, in smaller quantities in red wine. Not enough variety of food so as to also enhance biodiversity?
The Italian government, after 10 years of blockade, the end of 2008 from a pilot test in the field of GMOs following: tomato, olive, eggplant, corn vine, citrus, sweet cherry and kiwi.
