I'm betting if you really investigated , it's not the corn itself but the
glyphosate they apply to it . "They" say it has no effect , but my wife
developed a severe sensitivity to corn products around the same time they
started using Roundup heavily in RR crops and I've seen studies that bear
this out . And it's in EVERYTHING as you say . Corn syrup , so many people
started avoiding HFCS that now they're labeling it as "fructose" or other
misleading label . Don't be fooled , it's still there . And it's a major
reason I grow as much of our food as I can .
Yeah, I need to grow more of my own food NOW.
This year we're growing 5 varieties of tomatoes , 4 peppers , cukes and
zukes and summer squash , pole beans and garlic and onions and , and ...
even some okra .
I picked up a 6-pack of tomatoes one year, and just about the time the
little guys were globing, I noticed that two of them were putting out
darker green pentagonal tubes instead of globes. A week later, I
realized that it was two okra plants. They looked absolutely
identical except for the fruit. It turned out to be extremely tasty.
I hadn't had any fresh okra since growing up in Arkansas.
Taters and corn weren't worth the effort for what I got ,
What? Taters are so easy, and fresh taste better than store-bought
crap. I remember the difference between ancient corn in the store vs
a cob ripped from my own hand-raised stalk. Worlds apart.
and grains are a bit out of my reach - for now . I'd love to find a source
for non-GMO hard red wheat , I've been told the GMO stuff is no longer as
nutritious as what we had in the past .
OK , off my soapbox ...
Bob's Red Mill has tons of non-GMO stuff, and it's often cheaper than
health food store sourcing. I just ordered some Bob's date pieces
from Amazon. It's very good in cereal in the morning.
Non-GMO wheat abounds, for now.
