    I don't think it's making me fat because my body can't even seem to digest it. I eat it and it comes back out the next day unchanged. Pics available upon request...


    Screenshot or it dident happen!

    People can't digest the outer covering in corn, which is why it appears unchanged post consumption. XD

    From my post:

    "I tend to think that our over consumption of corn PLAYS A HUGE ROLE in the boom in obesity, diabetes, heart disease and morbidity."

    Sure, I get that you're not saying it's the ONLY cause. I still think the premise is ridiculous as is just about any premise that places an over-emphasis on any singular food item as being the cause for obesity.

    Chronic energy surplus has and will always make people fat, regardless of food choice.

    Exactly this.

    Corn isn't. High Fructose Corn Syrup is.

    It doesn’t come as a surprise that with the increase of corn consumption comes an increase in diseases and obesity.

    That's like saying our overconsumption of processed meats or milk, or any other food plays a huge role. The key phrase is OVER CONSUMPTION.

    An excellent point. But hey - a tautology is just easier for some people to understand.

    In other news, increases in temperature PLAY A HUGE ROLE in global warming.

    Corn isn't making us fat, fat is making us fat. We should have a carb based diet.

    No, wait, sugar is making us fat. We should have a protein based diet.

    No, wait, it's fat, fat is making us fat. We should eat carbs.

    No, it's wheat that makes us fat...
