**New GMO to combat liver cancer – or untested risk to health?**

An article titled, “New GMO to reduce cases of liver cancer” has been published on the AgWeb farm journal website. Aflatoxins in corn and other foods are generated by infection with the Aspergillus fungus. They can lead to cancer in human or animal consumers. So researchers are using RNAi (RNA interference or gene-silencing) technology to silence the aflatoxin genes in Aspergillus fungi in the corn’s kernels. However, non-GMO corn lines that resist aflatoxin contamination have been available since 2010. Unlike the GMO version, they’ve been field trialled successfully and are available to breeders. Most importantly, the non-GMO corn lines don’t pose the risks attached to RNAi technology. These can include the silencing of non-target genes in animals or humans that are exposed to the RNAi crop.


Hier meine bisherigen Ideen für die Überschrift:

a) GVO zur Krebsbekämpfung: gefährliches Wunschdenken
b) GVO zur Krebsbekämpfung: unnötig und potenziell gefährlich
c) GVO zur Krebsbekämpfung: den Teufel mit dem Belzebub austreiben?

Bessere Ideen?

Explanation:
Wobei ich die Überschrift etwas umbauen würde:
Neues GVO: Mittel gegen Krebs oder Gesundheitsrisiko?

Das ist jetzt keine bessere Idee, deine Vorschläge sind halt etwas freier formuliert.
