That is not true
The introduction of GM rice has contributed to blindness by claiming that Genetically Modified Rice (golden rice) provides vitamin "A" to prevent blindness but there is no evidence that golden rice does this.
A claim based more on spin than reality, and, over the years, the interests behind Golden Rice have wasted no time in attacking anyone who questioned it.
Golden Rice is really a ‘Trojan horse’; a public relations stunt pulled by the agribusiness corporations to garner acceptance of genetically engineered (GE) crops and food… money and efforts would be better spent on restoring natural and agricultural biodiversity rather than destroying it by promoting monoculture plantations and GE food crops.
There are better ways.
