If you have Netflix you can watch Food Inc for lots of info. They don't appear to have King Corn on their instant list anymore, but you can get the dvd.
Basically two things have collided in our country (assuming you're in the US
)
1) Corn has been "bred" and genetically engineered until it has almost no grain left in it (it isn't a vegetable like people imagine it to be--it is supposed to be a grain). It is now a sugar. Period. It has been bred to be a sugar source.
2) Government subsidies to corn growers has made corn cheaper to buy than it is to grow.
This means we have corn as sweetener in almost EVERYTHING. The list of hidden corn is even longer than the list of hidden gluten
I'm currently trying to tackle getting ALL corn out of our diet. I'm learning things about citric acid that leave me
