When I was a kid I used to get sick all the time. Out of school probably two months a year and just never really felt well ever. We identified the source as pretty much corn products via an elimination diet. The amazing thing is just how much corn is in the American diet. It's everywhere. Crammed into every inch of pre-processed food. Pretty much set us up for having to go back to making food from scratch and eating a lot of whole foods which has been my diet ever since. No soda, no corn chips, no cereal, except home-made granola, very few processed "box" foods. Instead I'm sentenced to a life of eating whole vegetables, fruits, meat and cheese... the horror! (j/k) Eliminating corn from my diet while I was still young, I feel really set me up to continue eating healthy throughout my life and opened my family's eyes to the sheer amount of corn in everything in America.
