More on Corn

Yesterday should have put a little fear into you or at least made you think about eating corn and corn based products. How many of you cook with corn oil? Think about it.

There are some other diseases which are increased when a person is eating a mostly corn based diet. Some of these are osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, tooth decay, and anemia. If you look at the health of Native Americans prior to the arrival of Europeans in this country, they had far less disease when their food supply was gathering what was growing naturally on the land and hunting for food in the form of meat from animals. They developed much more disease once they changed their diet to a corn base diet.

Yesterday I mentioned that the high fructose corn syrup caused a high sugar spike. If that sugar is not used by the muscle fairly quickly through some form of exercise, then it is stored as fat.
