...small size of the molecules also signifies an increased likelihood that humans could orally ingest a drug made up of these molecules without suffering acute side effects, said Cantley. Moreover, smaller molecules are generally less costly to synthesize into drugs, Cantley said...
This reticence to ingest lab-foods is not a manifestation of the public’s Luddite mentality, but a genuine scientific concern about the possibly lethal danger posed by genetic modifications.
