Even though this post is about corn, I couldn't bring myself to stick a photo of an ear of corn on my blog.
I just watched King Corn, a documentary about 2 fellas who take on the task of planting, growing, harvesting, and following the journey of one acre of Iowa corn into the food chain.
It's scary. We really do eat way to much of the stuff, whether we realize that or not. I mean, we don't even get to choose when we eat it. It's ubiquitous, in everything from animal feed to soda, bread to burgers.
The corn molecules can be traced in our bodies, through hair analysis. Sometimes, the corn in our body relates to 85% of the molecules in that analysis! If you drink soda, eat fries, meat, poultry, or go out for dinner, you're eating corn, mostly in the form of high fructose corn syrup or corn oil.
The link from corn to obesity to diabetes is a direct one. If you don't want diabetes, obesity, and a shorter lifespan than your parents, run from corn. If you want your children to lead a healthier life, keep them off corn too. Read labels.
