It doesn’t come as a surprise that with the increase of corn consumption comes an increase in diseases and obesity.
Hehehe. This is awesome. The next time I teach "correlation does not imply causation", I'm borrowing this.0 -

Corn isn't. High Fructose Corn Syrup is.

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...0 -

Sick.... My husband will love this corn-skeleton! Maybe we can make one instead of a pumpkin this year.0 -
Corn in itself does not make you fat. Eating anything in excess however, will.
It is the fact that the corn is made into a syrup and then placed as filler in all kinds of foods that do not contain sugar in the first place. Read your labels. Sugar in large amounts WILL affect your weight.
It can be found in dairy and bread for example. I picked upa tub of sour cream the other day, it had High fructose corn syrup in it! Last time I checked, sour cream is supposed to be made from milk ONLY.
In short, read your labels and spend the extra cash to get " clean" food with outr a bunch of added syrup in it.0 -
Do some research on paleo/primal type diets... I feel way better after cutting out 99% of grains (cookies are evil)...0

The natural form of corn is not a problem. The problem is the over processing of the foods and how industrialized has agriculture and farming have become. Most of the corn used for feed is genetically engineered to grow faster, bigger, etc. Plus the additives to the process foods. Plus the excess of fructose, plus plus plus...
It's been proven by studies that when the economy is in bad shape, people actually get more overweight. Sounds weird right? But the truth is that when the money is tight and food is expensive, people buy cheap. Cheap = processed, low quality foods. People buy less produce, more "boxed" stuff, less juice and more fruit "drinks", etc.
We need a food revolution in this country.0 -
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."
Here you say "OUR overconsumption of corn". But I thought you were talking about cows consuming corn, not people. I'm confused. When the cow eats the corn, it breaks it down into individual molecules and absorbs them and uses them for cell processes or stores them as fat. So it's not like we're eating bits of corn within our burger...0 -
We do not eat corn in any way shape or form at my house because of corn allergies. This has been true for the past 20 years. We do not have an over skinny issue at our house.0
