Watch what you drink !
According to new research, your favourite drink may contain GM modified ingredients.
I am writing this slowly for the benefit of those who cannot read quickly.
According to a colleague who works in a research laboratory, the famous black drink which we all love has been using genetically modified ingredients for the past 18 months.
These ingredients have been irradiated - to alter the shelf life I am told.
They have also been treated by a nuclear term which I am cannot recall the name of - it is where certain DNA are removed and replaced by DNA which helps to make them more disease resistant.
