A microscopic worm may be the key to heart-friendly bacon.
Geneticists have mixed DNA from the roundworm C. elegans and pigs to produce swine with significant amounts of omega-3 fatty acids the kind believed to stave off heart disease.
I wonder if the pigs have gills? or legs for that matter?While boosting Omega-3s doesnt decrease the fat content in pigs, the fatty acids are also important to brain development and may reduce the risk of Alzheimers disease and depression. The American Heart Association recommends at least two weekly servings of fish, particularly fatty fish like trout and salmon, which are naturally high in omega-3s.
