Scientists have created a genetically modified carrot that provides extra calcium. They believe adding the orange vegetable to a normal diet could help prevent conditions such as brittle bone disease and osteoporosis. Someone eating the modified carrot absorbs 41 per cent more calcium than someone eating a regular carrot, according to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences study.
