According to Joe Cornelius, Executive Director of Research and Development at Monsanto, MON 87705 has the potential to "make a real difference in efforts to produce healthier foods", for example, by reducing the saturated fat content by more than 60%.[1] “With the availability of Vistive Gold soybeans, farmers will soon be able to deliver an economical and sustainable source of nutritionally improved soybean oil to consumers and food companies, Vistive Gold soybeans are a breakthrough innovation that represent years of collaboration across the food supply chain. Monsanto worked closely with the food industry, health and nutrition communities and agricultural sector to bring a biotechnology trait with direct consumer benefit. The result, Vistive Gold, is one step closer to reality with the recent USDA deregulation.”
