The team are planning 8_____(use) genes from wild varieties of wheat or maize, which already have the less digestible starch, to breed with crop varieties to make white flour that would be far better for health.
They believe it could make fast food far healthier in the future, and help tackle （解决）Britain’s growing obesity epidemic(流行病).
“We think about fast foods, they are fast to buy, fast to eat and very fast to digest and it’s that fast 9_____(digest) the problems,” added Prof Mithen.
