The treatment with transgenic rice (a type of rice modified with human proteins) applied in Peruvian babies as a trial to cure diarrhea remains controversial in Peru.
The study The "study" was consented by the Ministry of Health and conducted by the Institute of Nutritional Research of Lima, although in the United States the VENTRIA company that carried out the experiments has prevented the treatment in that country; as reported by the association Pro Human Rights, Aprodeh.
In about 10 years babies could suffer from multiple diseases such as arthritis, lupus, sclerosis, allergies and even Alzheimer's. The case was denounced by the Peruvian Medical Association before the Fifth Criminal Prosecutor of Lima. The Minister of Health, Pilar Mazzetti, and the directors of the El Niño and Trujillo hospitals are responsible for the imminent damage to the health of children.

The announcement shocked to know the introduction of human genes in plants, which would break a postulate that companies that work with transgenics do not introduce such genes into plants.
The truth is that as parents it should be worrying that they apply a “magic” treatment to the baby without really knowing the consequences that this entails in the long term and knowing that the company does not have permission in their country of origin. For something it will not believe?
