In addition to a handful of salt and chemicals and synthetic additives, which is every object in a supermarket is a link in a food chain that begins with an animal, plant, or beast from the sea. During production, the department and also meat and fish, is easy to present the origins of food to purchase the track.
Not so with processed foods. The industrial food chain that feeds today most of us most of the time - in a supermarket or restaurant - inevitably leads tothe U.S. Corn Belt.
Figures depends on the food chain - including real elements, the industrial food chain that gives our fast world. Corn is grown on 80 million hectares of land and replaced wheat as a top U.S. government subsidies to American farmers. The reason why we have so much corn grow? Because of the many ways that can be treated in our diet.
For example, corn fed control now, which is ultimately your steak. So, eggs, milk, cheese and yogurtNow back to corn. In addition, the pig leads, Turkey, the lamb. Incredible as it seems, the fish are natural predators of newly developed corn to tolerate fish farms.
Processed foods have more manifestations of corn. Consider a nugget chicken: chicken fed with corn, modified corn starch holds together the nugget, corn flour in the dough, and fried in corn oil.
The drink is usually served in fast food restaurants, sodas, full of HFCS (highHigh fructose corn syrup), a highly processed cereal sweetener.
Consider the following list of food additives, and you will see that the corn is everywhere - in modified or unmodified starch into glucose syrup, maltodextrin, crystalline fructose and ascorbic acid in lecithin, dextrose, lactic acid and lysine, in maltose and MSG polyols, caramel color and xanthan gum.
Corn sun in soups, snacks, sauces, frozen yogurt, coffee lightener, salad dressings - even vitamins! And youCorn is not eating as well - from toothpaste and cosmetics, bags and disposable diapers, trash.
It 'important to note that corn is not a vegetable. It 'a cereal or a carbohydrate, and as such, the corn is very sweet. The American diet (SAD) is too high in carbs / sugars begin, and corn is one of the major contributors to the growing epidemic of obesity and diabetes.
It 'hard to escape "The King of Corn." If you eat processed or fastThe food can be sure of corn consumed in one of its many manifestations.
It is no coincidence that when corn is introduced, a change from a hunter's diet-a diet of maize, has started his bones, teeth and joints to deteriorate.
The negative aspects of the dominance of corn in the American diet approach to a litany. It 'also important to understand that corn is genetically modified soybeans just as (GM) in the United States.
GMFoods, foods made from genetically modified organisms (GMOs) were introduced in 1995, and, unfortunately, no study has yet done with people, to show what happens when these types of foods are consumed over time.
You can not go wrong if you eat food that looks like. Avoid processed foods and fast. Eating just outside. If you eat meat, look for grass fed and always avoid farmed fish. Make it a habit to read food labels carefully. With a little 'attention can beprevent a subject of King Corn.
