The processing certainly doesn't make it better, but, in fact, corn does look (through the currently fashionable dietary looking glass) as though it is intrinsically unhealthy. Other "cultures" make similar "highly processed crap" from rice or wheat and don't have a fraction of the problems. Having said that I'm willing to admit that this is still partially in the realm of the tin foil hat brigade. But I'm quite willing to blather loosely this evening because we are off skiing as of tomorrow and you can argue amongst yourselves about it. mark. _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
