Big Bad Corn

I’ll never forget the *forehead slap* moment when I realized that corn is not a vegetable, it’s a grain.  Cans of corn were always in the canned vegetable aisle at the grocery store when I was growing up, or fresh corn with the fresh vegetables in the produce aisle.  Why did I never learn that corn is a grain?

And then I found out that grains are toxic for mammals.  Toxicity symptoms may show up in different ways for different mammals – diabetes, high blood pressure, brain fog, obesity – but it will show up in some form or another, because grains are bad for us. 

Then I saw this awesome graphic, and knew I had to share.
